My 3 Year Blender Progression - Learnings and Tips

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I did a sort of reflection on my Blender learning journey. Learning Blender has been a huge part of my channel! Since today is the last day of the year, I wanted to recap all of my learning up until this point to reflect on where I am now and where I can go in the future. Thanks for the support and hope you guys enjoy!

I am on a similar journey as you; I started learning blender--and other mediums--to hopefully improve my skills as an artist. Thank you for sharing this, it's great insight for me :D

[@gart2888]

The distinct style and having conviction in it. Love it.

[@JacobdelaRosa]

Your tutorials never fail to floor me. Thanks for being such a great artist and resource for blender and grease pencil

[@kevandram]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@AnimeShhiinBlender69]

this is motivation

[@kdktdydlflydtisirupwkgncg]

Thank you for sharing this! Seeing your work has been so inspiring, it's such a nice change from the photorealism that I tend to see in tutorials. Be well and keep on growing! ❤

[@kevandram]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@avengerofsquids]

Your style is so lovely! Thank you for sharing, this was definitely an inspiring video to watch :)

[@kevandram]

Thank you for watching!

[@matteo.kinetic]

Love your content Kev

[@kevandram]

Thank you!

[@CyberRings-NEET]

after seeing your stuff last year, it really motivated me to just dive in

[@kevandram]

Thanks so much!

[@xblade149]

Im 27 about to be 28 getting back into 3d, and your videos helped. I wish I started on this sooner. When I was 25

[@kevandram]

Thanks for watching! And I wish I started sooner too but it’s never too late!

[@xblade149]

@@kevandram true it's never too late

[@Crayelah]

You got this! It's never too late, really. Whatever you do today, will be a step ahead of yesterday, and that is more than enough. Good luck on your journey!

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

Damn I just realized im almost 3 years I might make a video my progression and the things I’ve used blender for is very bizzare thank you

[@leonelormaza2614]

I love your style..keep the great work

[@kevandram]

Thanks so much!

[@franciscamendonca2716]

Maravilhoso ❤

[@miscetc-tm2yt]

Very nice, what hardware do you recommend, please?

[@kevandram]

You can find my hardware specs in my Bio :D

[@yniin7923]

Nice works with Greace Pencil. How do you connect iPad to your computer to use blender on it?

[@kevandram]

You can do it via Sidecar if you have a Mac. I don't really recommend it since there's a slight lag/delay. But, they may have improved it since though.

[@yniin7923]

Thanks! Yeah Sidecar is very laggy I hope one day they improve it @@kevandram

[@monicaokami]

Would you consider making a Blender typography tutorial? Or is that something you talk about in your paid course??

[@kevandram]

That might be something to try in the future! And unfortunately, I don't cover typography focused things in the course.

[@maochiou2698]

You are so lucky
