Hi guys, I'm Gabriele, I'm 17 years old, I want to become and work as a concept artist, but I live with this huge age, I don't have time.

Having a full-time job, I'm busy 24/7 and only have free time 3 days a week, and on those days I draw for 4/5 hours to try to make up for lost time.

I ask you how do you do it? All those of you who work have a demanding job that doesn't allow you to have enough free time, how do you do it? How do you organize yourselves?

Thank you so much 🫶🏻

Hi everyone, I'm a 17-year-old boy and I'd really like to become a character concept artist for video games. My question is: do you have any books or courses you'd recommend for concept art?

I know some basics of concept art, like silhouettes, shapes and key values but I would like to delve deeper into it with a structured course or a series of books.

Thank you so much to everyone who will reply to me ❤️🫶🏻

Hi everyone, I'm writing to ask for your opinion because I'm honestly a little worried about my computer.

I live in a town where, unfortunately, the power supply is very unstable, but in the last 24 hours, the situation has become unbearable. There are practically constant problems with the power lines throughout the area, and we're constantly in the dark.

Yesterday, the power went out three times in a row in a very short space of time.

Today it happened again, another sudden blackout.

As bad luck would have it, both days it went out right while I was working, so my computer was running at full capacity.

Yesterday's power outage lasted until 11 PM. The next morning (that is, today), I turned on my PC (after rebooting the power strip and power supply, which had quickly shut down after three consecutive power outages). I checked to see if any files had been corrupted or the SSD had been damaged, and everything was fine, including the video card and CPU. Today, I repeat, it went out again while I was working.

​

Now my fear is that after all these sudden outages, my PC is at risk of breaking down.

(I speak as an ignoramus, I'm not an expert; any advice or answers are welcome.)

I'm seriously thinking about buying a course to improve my artistic process, I'm undecided about the annual artwod course or the one by marc brunet (700$)

Which of the two do you recommend?Which of the two teaches you better?
