Complete guide to not sucking so bad at 3d.

Let me just first state that I do this as a job. I consider 3D, Animation and Games to be art. Don't agree with me?

Go into a Games/Film production company, everyone working there is a fucking artist with fundamental art skills (LIKE DRAWING). Now I see the shit that gets
posted here and it makes me sick. So here's a list of tutorials you guys can follow and hopefully learn from.

Pro tip: before you look at any of the links find and get andrew loomis figure drawing for all it's worth.
