Seriously, these are the things that were stopping me from doing it. I am that guy who always has 100 projects on the go, and always looking to start more but never finishing any of them... My first project was finished last year. I turn 30 this year and it was the only thing I ever completed.
I have always had trouble drawing in perspective and 3d. Also I failed my drawing class at uni because my teacher issued a task where we had to draw WITHOUT LINES. Just shaded areas mashed together to make a picture. COULD NOT DO!
Some good tips I've been operating by:
A little a day is better than a lot once a week
Stop BEFORE you have had enough
Set extreme short term goals, as well as the regular short and long term ones.
Seems to be helping so far.
Aye. The only time I've worked in 3D was in mid-high school, and my teacher loved it. Not that it made any sense... The perspectives were totally out-of-sync, and they more resembled a Lovecraftian 4d-5D object than a coherent 3D shape. That miiiight have to do with my skewed depth-perception due to my shitty eyesight though.
I've always had the same issue. I paint, I sketch, I write poetry, I'm working on a novel, I write lyrics for myself and a friend's band, I play guitar, I play piano, I sing, but I'm always jumping from one thing to the next and rarely ever finish anything.
I think the only major project I ever finished was a symmetry design I created in MS Paint when I was in high school, literally 1 pixel at a time in maximum zoom.
I don't have the finished version on this computer but I think I have an older version somewhere, hold on...
It took me about a year to get that far. 1-3 hours a day, 5-7 days a week. I'm pretty sure I spent the entirety of my Health and Spanish II classes working on that <_< Ahora yo se porque yo no hablo mucho Espanol... XD
