Haha, sounds like a job that I'd love to have some day.

That sounds excellent! Working in an indie studio seems to come with a good amount of flexibility, it's good since you won't be restricted to a certain subset!

I understand, I know I jumped the gun as well and attempted digitally painting before understanding the fundamentals.

Well, the slowdown will be good for me to catch up! Haha. If you do not mind me asking, what job offer did you receive?

Thanks man. I definitely struggle with rendering, light, value, color and all that stuff. I'll be slowly going through these past lessons whenever time permits. However, how much time is there between each lesson, and when do you propose you will start to get into those topics?

Hey guys! I'm an 18 year old that has been doodling since I was 11, and trying to seriously study art for a couple of years.

In high school I took a couple of art classes at my local community college, and a painting class over the summer, and I am currently enrolled in an art college to pursue my passion further!

I'd love to become a professional concept or games artist working in the game industry. Not really sure exactly what I want to do, but anything that has to do with video games sounds good to me!

I've got a bunch of stuff if you care to look. I have a bunch of old pieces from when I first started on deviantart dating back to 2008 if you dig deep enough. I should probably compile a nice document without all the cringe crammed in there. I also have an album with pieces from my portfolio and some digital things I did that I liked.

I found out about this from your post on /r/learnart that you posted about 5 hours ago. I can't believe there was even a digital painting sub that I never knew about. I feel like an idiot, haha.

Even though I'm currently enrolled in an art school at the moment, I want to improve so much that I'll slowly work my way through the assignments on here as well in addition to the assignments I have to do for school. I've heard of the Concept Design Academy that you attended, and apparently it is a fantastic, magical place that comes with hundreds of recommendations. Therefore I would like to absorb some of the knowledge you gleaned from there for myself ;p.
