Such an important message. So many students & indeed artists feel pressure over their creative process. Art takes time, it’s a slow cook process & it’s vital to remember that productivity isn’t a constant. Some days you just want to watch anime all day & that’s fine ❀️ #gameart

Making environments is hard! As I work on the Spanish Town tutorial, I realized that while it took me about 2 months to finish the art blockout (foundation), it took another year to truly finalize it! First half was very logical, second half was more artistic/feeling-based.

So many creative students experience mental health difficulties. To be creative in many ways implies a sensitivity to the world around you. There is a tendency to feel more fiercely. That’s not a flaw, it’s a consequence of the creative spark you carry inside.

10 #gameart tips 1. Be curious, ask questions, adapt a sponge mentality, soak up what you can. I’m still learning after 15 years! 2. Be humble, accept critique as guidance, a positive thing. 3. Be patient, it’s not a race, improvement takes time.

I overheard a male student talking in a condescending manner to a female student today about the quality of her work. I detected sexism in his remarks. He has now received a formal warning for inappropriate behaviour & was requested to apologise. Not acceptable bro. Simple as.
