Advice from an Interview with Matt Rhodes - https://characterdesignreferences.com/blog-interviews-4/matt-rhodes

-” I firmly believe that you only get out of school what you put in. I also think it's important not just to draw a lot, but to challenge yourself by drawing the difficult stuff. “

- “ If you're suffering from art-block, don't sit at the desk staring into the white void. Go for a walk in a forest, watch a movie, lay down and listen to some music, read a book about a subject you're not interested in. “

- “ Industries change, technology changes, artists change. There's a lot out there, but I think that if you work as hard as you can, practicing and finishing work, then you'll be prepared for just about anything. I also think it's a good idea to love the work, not the subject. Whether it's games, comics, film, and whether it's fantasy/sci-fi/Barbie's Dream House, just love the work, the act of designing, the collaboration with a team. “
