To be good at anything, it takes, PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE and then some more....PRACTICE.
Oh...and you have to love what you do.
I'm actually speaking from experience. I am a self-taught artist. Checkout my blog, if you don't believe me.
Well... to be honest it's not only practice like a machine but smart practice. I used to apply the equation (practice.practice.practice)^3 since my eighteens-nineteens and even if it worked a little bit, in seven years i progressed less than in eight months of smart practice.
So you probably have to rethink that =)
Haha ...how pedantic! Besides, a machine does not practice....they are programmed. So you probably have to rethink that =)
Well... Good luck with that ego =)
Wow....thank you so much .... and likewise, of course!
It is quite interesting (and also funny) how you came to my post agreeing with what I exposed for later on calling me pedantic and behaving arrogantly.
Clearly you didn't even grasp the title since I am talking that we all artists (even the most skilled and experienced ones) need to have clear foundations in order to make a solid base for our artworks.
Just to be clear, and if you try to put yourself in an objective POV, you will understand that your ego is blocking you from taking a friendly advice that may make you develop much faster as an artist.
