@jakeblended Nice to know you and I are in the same boat. I feel you on that, when I was at school I was incredibly competitive and would toil to become top of the class in everything (the exceptions being PE because hey turns out physical sports aren’t nerds’ strength, and art, which I was awful at, how far we’ve come). I don’t really know why, my parents never forced that mentality on me but it’s always kinda stuck. It’s definitely something I need to grow out of to an extent, but I feel that drive is what helps me push myself to be better.
I agree with the classes, they’re great, though admittedly when someone posts something awesome that feeling of being outclassed comes in again, albeit to a lesser extent. I get a feeling that’s why many of us were concerned with the upcoming class, as to not make beginners feel that way. I think it might be a good idea to steer clear of ArtStation for a little bit haha. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
