How to escape tutorial hell - Bad results when trying art on your own ? - tip for artists 

👏👏🔥

Dude so few people talk about this, its always "how to be a badass" "I gotta learn everything by tomorrow" - the idea of taking time for consistent, intentional repetition and understanding is the right way to go, imo

so glad that i found your channel

I agree wholeheartedly with what this video says. As a beginner, you find yourself (unconsciously?) depending on courses to create something. It's easy to get an "ok" result when following a course, (and I'm in this illusion myself). And it's true that I loved your course on heads for this reason @IshaqSculpt, because it's not just "Oh well do this, and there you go." No, your course is clearly about mastering steps, about being able to reproduce a result without being dependent on the course, you're in a psychological accompaniment that consists of understanding the steps and why they're important, and that repeating a generic form helps to understand more complex forms about the future. and I really want to congratulate you for that. I would add something to what you say in the video when you talk about concept, and I agree with what you say. But what I find a pity in courses in general, or even tutorials, is that beginners are told that they need to use references, but they're not shown HOW to work with a reference, and they're not shown point by point which elements really need to be taken from the reference, because the instructor will explain it with his seasoned eyes, but the beginner who has no experience will not grasp the importance of some of what is said. I'd say that there's an advantage to taking courses, and one that beginners (myself included) don't pay much attention to, but it's to develop your sense of observation, to observe how the instructor works, what he's trying to reproduce in the reference he's using, to try to really observe and reproduce, to redo the process, which even if it seems tedious, is indispensable. In short, it's not enough to copy, you have to understand. I recently found myself realizing that I wasn't able to do anything well without following the steps of a course, and as Ishaq says in this video, the problem isn't ONLY with the course, but with ourselves and our psychological approach to it. Excellent video in any case, and sorry for the huge text :P, but it's a more than important subject you're tackling, and it deserves more than a simple "Oh yes, you're right" comment. It would be nice to see other people sharing their mistakes or talking about what's blocking them in the comments.
