      the hardest thing in blender is knowing the tools you need to make what you want. Once you getting familiar with a lots of tools in blender the work becomes more fun ayou get less headhache. Sometimes you realize in the begining because your lost that a 5 minute tutorial video will take you 3 hours to make becuas ethere is so much info packed in those 5 minutes but redo this and in no time you will be able to do the same thing in 10 minutes.. Also as you get along your learning you realize that blender is a base product but you can get hundreds of free add ons and pluggins that will help you being more efficient at dong certain things.
      Im 4 months in and already made some really cool stuff by myself and i aldo fallow tutorials. I think The daughnuttutorial is really the best to begin with and if you fallow the multiple part of it and you still enjoy blender after it you know its for you and if you get bored after 1-2 part of the tutorials you know its not for you but that daughnut is really where its at to begin your journey a 10 parts tutorial with the best biginer information you can get.

      @@FulguroGeek I really really really love blender like idk why like it should be hard but it’s not and idk why I love blender. I think it’s mainly because it’s like an empty canvas for me or like legos in the sense that if you can dream it you can make it. The donut tutorial is where I started and it’s amazing(I personally prefer the 2.8 tutorial since that one is photorealistic and I am a huge fan of photorealistic renders whereas the new one is a cartoony one) that tutorial taught me so much and It only reinforced my love for blender. Overall I always ask myself why I like blender because I never really imagined myself doing this kind of thing with vfx work and renders but its the endless possibilities of what I can create that makes me love it and I will continue my blender journey and hope to create even more amazing renders 😀😀😀

      Don't do the donut

      @@Porkupine69 the donut tutorial is basically a beginner’s tutorial about edit mode, modifier, materials, scatter, texture painting, etc. that is implemented into an object so its not a waste of time if what you want is to know what these different tools are, but if you only use blender for example only to sculpt, then its a waste of time

      Do the Donut. I did the Donut, was super frustrated with it and made a lot of mistakes. I took a big break after that frustration and I'm progressing much more quickly now. In hindsight, that Donut tutorial taught me the tools of blender. After that, you can start getting into specific things you want to learn and the tools that the donut tutorial provides are going to be applicable all over the place.

    I love the progress you made so far! As a photographer, I noticed in the project you're working on now when it shows the sun, you have seven "sun star" points, but the sun flare is round. If imitating a camera, I would suggest changing the round sun flares to hexagons, because the seven sun star points go with the seven fractals on the circle, making a hexagon. Very small detail, not bad at all. Overall, love the work! Keep it up!

    I am not gonna lie, the last thing in the list made me think that you had modelled a moldy orange, and something was going to come out of it. Great work though :)

    Nice work. Inspiring!
    I’ve started over at beginner level several times.
    There are loads of good tutorials out there, but switching from tutorials to truly original work is the tricky part, for me at least.
