Noah's Artcamp and Thumbnails

Noah Bradleys artcamp ended these days, which was a great opportunity to get better practice habits and some insights. As far as I know there will be a second artcamp with other training exercises and hopefully other specific topics to cover. For everyone who wasn't in the first one, I really recommend to get into it.As far as it concerned me, Noahs project was really great to get better in art, but not in the usual way. The most tutorials I saw (videos and texts) based on a specific way they teach to follow, mostly a technique or step by step how to.
Noah's idea was a bit different than that. Rounded up, he teached us how to practice and far better, how to keep a mindset of progress and always learning, which is far more important for me than anything else.
I had recreated some professional works very well (as they said), but recreating an existing image is a complete other thing than actually use your knowledge and studies to create a piece by yourself.
Recreating these was a good way to get an insight how other artist think and progress in their images, which might not work for every other artist, but this way doesn't force you to apply any study you did or idea you had, and just teach the pure technical thing.
Noah's camp therefore did the opposite and got me out of the thinking to create perfect images and learn all what I need within the process.
In short, Noah's artcamp just make one point very clear: to study and learn, but (in my case, because I'm damn curious anyway) to practice. When you can't paint something properly, study it, train it, and come back when you are content with what you learnt. But never stop.

If interested, Noah's Artcamp can be found here, and will continue.
