I have been learning with CGC for over two years now, and back then I was completely new to Blender and 2D modelling. All of my progress from starting out to pretty much where I am today can be found in my Polybook in the forum. It details my learning journey, including the courses I followed, my feelings on them , and links to each one. It can be found here : MY POLYBOOK
I personally, am working towards a career as a freelancer, and CGC has helped me so much to begin realizing this dream. I hope to be making the leap to starting out freelance next year and I couldn’t have done it without CGC and the community.
Hope this helps 🙂
