The Best Way To Learn Your Art

Sounds like good advise. There is a lot you can learn from the internet, but there is so much more you can learn from hands on with someone in your chosen field.

nah.


i don't like people for the most part. i learn more just by doing it. i may watch a video, but i do it myself. human interaction is nice for some people, but it only drains me. i only go out to get new stock, but i wouldn't hang out with strangers. we only have 1 club in my area. it changes towns, and only meets once a month. i can get to one of them, as i hate driving. it would be pointless to join such a thing. i can hardly call that a club.

Mike what would your advice be to emerging artists then, Sit at the computer?

yes.

digital cameras allows for experimentation. you can learn a lot watching youtube alone. you can join critique clubs online. doing things in person won't always yield results, and it takes a lot of time to do that. if your out going then you may need the extroverted approach. but for others doing it online works fine. i did my training online.

I say follow the old 10,000 hour rule from the book "The Outliers" from Malcom Gladwell.

It, basically, takes 10,000 hours of work to master ANYTHING.

That's a good lace to start.
