One of my favorite sets of videos on youtube is by K Michael Russel. He’s a colorist for comic books and teaches a class on the subject. One of his playlists is titled, “How not to color comics,” and it goes through a lot of common mistakes that beginners do. His videos are short and he tends to concentrate on one subject at a time, but with a few different pages. He usually has examples of before (when the coloring is bad) and after (big beautiful comic pages).
Here’s one of his videos.
I would love to see this with blender. Whether it’s composition or materials or lighting or modeling or anything. Seeing “before and after” examples really helps me learn, not just, what I should do, but WHY I should do it a certain way.
I can see a model and think, “That’s not too bad. Why is that in the before category?”
But as the instructor goes through the mistakes and why they’re mistakes, I tend to have an easier time learning fundamental ideas and why they’re important.
Anyway, that’s my two cents…
