Why do some artists improve dramatically in a short period of time, while others feel stuck for years?
In this interview, I speak with Christophe Siel, a professional traditional painter who recently transitioned into 3D art and game design. Christpohpe recently took part in my 10 week 3d artist program and made such rapid progress that I wanted to try and figure out how.
But this isn’t just about a before and after transformation.
We talk about:
What actually accelerates improvement in 3D art
The role of structured learning and feedback
Why do many self-taught artists plateau
The mindset shift required to level up
The core skills that are often overlooked
If you’re learning Blender, sculpting characters, or trying to build a stronger 3D portfolio, this conversation will give you practical insight into how to improve faster and more intentionally.
Christophe recently completed my 10 Week Art Program, which focuses on structured practice, critique, and building strong portfolio-ready work.
