For any of the visual artists that follow me, I'd be very curious to hear your thoughts on the youtuber Ethan Becker. He can kind of get to be abrasive in like, the medium for which he teaches things to you (which oftentimes involves jokingly berating other artists in a way that doesn't always come off with as much sarcasm as I feel like it should, especially when you're trying to understand it in an educational context), but all of his advice, from my limited understanding, seems incredibly high quality. It's laser focused, not on how to make some specific kind of art, but on how to observe other art and learn from it, as well as how to make sure you're practicing in ways that are properly constructive. But! I don't know enough on the topic to be completely sure, so, I'm askin around.

in reply to @adibabidan's post:

its hard to say. without being the subject of his berations, its difficult to know. (as well as difficult to know because ive never seen thier content) but i think what the value is "learn how they view other art crtically, because that feedback is useful for growth." if you feel like you have specifically gained the insights that were novel to you when watching the content, then it's totally okay to drop them. They have taught you, and now its up to you to teach yourself.
