Hi I’m Irfan from Singapore!
I’m not exactly “new” to CG cookie or even Blender but it has always been this on-off shallow depth I’ve been swimming in for the past 10 years. I always felt there was this threshold I couldn’t get past and I’d quit after a certain point each time. Always giving myself the excuse that I lack raw artistic talent to draw/sculpt or understand anatomy etc. Every time I’d try it again I always had to start from scratch, I’ve lost how many times I’ve gone through this cycle (never really making any tangible progress).
I have been working in the media industry freelancing in different aspects of it for years. Mostly specializing in post-production – editing, audio, motion graphics(not 3D) & occasional VFX. Making a good living off of it but I could never call myself an artist in any capacity.
I find myself envious and admiring amazing 3D digital art every day in various forms. That I’ve started seeing it as this incredibly magical creation I can’t imagine ever doing. But I don’t think I can live soundly for not trying again properly this time. And with your latest addition of the HUMAN course which I’m hoping to be my major goal to reach at the end of this year, I hope I won’t quit prematurely this time by committing to CG cookie.
