Assignments
Practice and more practice
People aren’t born with the ability to make game assets. To succeed in making nice game art you need practice. Rome was not built in a day, and neither are your environment skills, so practice.
Second to that, asking a lot of feedback is a surefire way to be on the right track. The sooner you ask feedback, the earlier we can help you correct course to a nice result.
Why practice alone when you can join one of our guilds!
