Hey Roxana, great questions! My process of learning Blender was quite messy and took way too long, so I’m not sure you’d actually want to follow my same path. My hope for these courses is that you can learn in months rather than years! I’ve tried to pack any advice I have into the courses, but in general, I’d say:
The end result is all that matters in CG. There’s no such thing as cheating since it’s all cheating to begin with!
Participating in challenges and contests and asking for feedback along the way was really helpful for me.
Just make as many projects as you can (but always take a break if you feel like you’re going to burn out). Experience is still the best learning material.
We could chat about learning during office hours, which reminds me that I still need to get a time set up for mine. Will do that shortly!
