It’s simple. Start with an idea. No matter how complicated it may seem. Start a project and try to finish it. Dedicate 2 hours per day to that project.
Ok, done with those 2 hours? Now come here and dedicate 2 hours per day to these tutorials. I had some knowledge of Blender when I bought my membership, I had an understanding of topolgy, rigging, modifiers, and all of that. But I’ve started with the fundamentals. And guess what: I’ve learnt a ton of new things.
However, here’s where I’m trying to go: I had already done some scenes in Blender even before CG Cookie. Yeah, they may not have been the best, but I did them nonetheless. If you’ll just follow tutorials, you will find yourself in a creative block at the end.
If you wanted to draw, would you not draw anything until you’ve read 5 books on drawing? Or until you’ve taken a 3 year course? I don’t think so. It’s the same with modelling. Do your own projects alongside learning from CG Cookie.
