Before you go and follow the advice you should ask yourself if the lives of Mr. Grassetti and Mr. Bulgarov are the ones you want to have for yourself. Not everyone wants to devote his life to his career like this. What it likely means is that you will leave your family behind and move somewhere completely different. And you will have to be as obsessed as them to get to the same place. Don't run into it blindly and then have a rude awakening 5 years down the line. Vitaly said it.. he spent/spends most of his time indoors. This is something nobody seems to talk about enough in the film/vfx and games industry but it's the way it is. We can't have it all in life. Only you know what the right move is because you have to live with it.
Get outside for some AM exercise, compete a workout, prep food for the day... when that is done, get to freaking work. You can buy yourself a standing desk fro good posture. Make the best out of whatever you want. It doesnt have to sound so unhealthy.
@@adam551982 Absolutely.. But I'm talking about people working abroad far from family and being aware of what it means. It can be lonely and solitary at times. And you might spend a lot of your income on rent in overpriced cities.. a lot of people have to share flats like students to be able to save money.
@@capnanaya4642 Is this what you see yourself doing for the rest of your life? I think you need to balance it. If you isolate yourself so that the only thing left in your life is work that's not healthy. In fact going out and exploring the world will inspire your art more than sitting indoors ever could.
@@hgzmatt tbh after years of contemplating what really brings you fullfillment as a man... ive come to the conclusion that most of your happiness as a man is derived from your work in life and the value of what you produce. You will only get to a level where what you have to offer is truly valuable if u sacrifice many other things.
Love this guys mindset about modeling… I’ve been modeling for over a year now… still not even close to where I want to be. Tbh I choose simple projects I know I’ll complete but at the same time I work on complex concepts like for example mechs, gore, sci fi themed. Where the geometry can be unpredictable. Trying to be comfortable but at the same time pushing the boundaries you know you have in yourself. One thing is the tools you need is the most important thing in all honesty
Time management and letting go of the fear of failure is key! Thank you for sharing/uploading Raf, longtime fan since 2007! Much respect Vitaly! Muito obrigado!
Thank you for sharing your discussions and the wisdom we can draw from them. Especially the point Vitaly made in this part with the "quick iteration, fast failing"-mindset. Hearing this from you guys contrasts the part of perfectionism that brakes learning. I needed this, thank you.
I'm not a 3d artist but this is the best advice I've seen in as long as I can remember in general. Especially the part about being analytical and really trying to optimise everything
cara acho muito foda esses teus papos com o pessoal da industria, aprendo muito com vcs e to quase convencido q deveria tentar modelagem 3d, depois de ouvir vc falar do blender procurei alguma coisa e vi q posso incorporar muito disso nos meus trabalhos com quadrinhos.... espero q continue com o trabalho, adoro seu canal!
essa analogia entre snowboard e surf é tão foda. Realmente se você pega um sketchbook e passa o dia desenhando você vai ter muitos resultados. é como animação, para mim o animador é um dos caras que mais aprendem e trabalham, porque ele só precisa do mínimo para seguir para o próximo frame, o cara que mexe com render (2d e pior ainda 3d) o progresso é bem bem mais lento.
@KuronoK However, he also mentions sculpting. What he's saying is find a "fundamental" skill like drawing or sculpting so you can better visualize forms and build a visual library in your brain.
so would it be better to challenge yourself to only focus on a design for 15 minutes then move on if you dont like it? Cause my biggest problem is I get absorbed into one design and i realize i havent made any real progress and i feel like ive wasted time. But then i thought that since 2d artists practice by doing fast figure drawings for hours everyday so if I just do the same thing with design itd probably work right?
I'm actually kinda triggered that this account is only at 26K followers -____- Someone tag me a few months from now. Wanna see where we at. Raf the lej! \m/
@@renattovalencia I'm stressing the 'never improve' part, the more I do something(physical) the worse I get at it, my hands turn into spaghetti and my lines get worse.
