Right now all you need is to build a visual library. Consume the media you one day want to produce, but don't let it be a time waster, you are doing this for exposure and to widen your horizon. As for learning resources Peter has already mentioned most of them. But here are some you can explore: DISCORD: Check if the professionals you are listening to have channel on discord. Trent kaniuga and paintable are two great channels. YouTube : FZD school, Brooks Eggleston, Trent kaniuga, The art of Aaron Blaise, David finch, Dave greco, Marco bucci, Marc Brunet, Mark Crilley, Steven zapata, Ahmed Aldoori, Sinix, Adam duff lucid pixel, bobby chiu, and yan sculpts and follygon. Do check out matt kohr's ctrlpaint.com for digital painting basics. He even has a course on artstation learning which is free for 2021. Artists on YouTube do offer some courses using gumroad, patreon, or their own website. You can get into learning sculpture. Traditional clay sculptures will automatically improve your understanding of anatomy while digital sculpture is a great tool to iterate concepts quickly. You can look into 3d modelling later as a step up and you'll understand it better this way. If you want to do commissions for others, then begin with making a presence on deviant art. Join relevant groups and start accepting commissions for lets say pet portraits for a nominal fee. This should give you the experience of your very first paid gigs. Besides artstation learning gnomon twitch channel is a great resource for past live workshops. I have recently found daisie.com which provides free workshops on various topics via zoom.

First off, I really like the energy in these pictures, you have a nice mixture of portrait and action poses. and I especially like the man smoking. I think you could benefit from a deeper understanding of anatomy and how material drapes over forms. Bridgeman is a great place to start for that kind of thing.

The most important thing to do when getting hired is creating a solid portfolio that demonstrates a clear understanding of the foundations of art. Right now you have a student looking portfolio. If you want to see the type of jobs and qualifications you will need after school I’d suggest signing up for the Art Station new job listing news letter and always go to the websites of companies you want to work for and look at their job boards. Good luck.

What I would do is go find people who are doing what you want to do and then bingelisten to interviews with them on Youtube. I'm not a video game artist, but names off the top of my head are Feng Zhu, Bobby Chiu (his interviews with game artists), Trent Kaniuga, Artstation Podcast, Tyler Edlin, Gnomon, Dela Longfish, Rafael Grassetti. Most beginners have a really inaccurate idea of what concept art is and what it looks like. Make sure you know what the industry is and how the production pipeline works. CGMA would be a great additional resource for learning if you find your education lacking. If you realize your school is not giving you the education you need to succeed cut your losses and learn online through mentorships (with people who are actively working in the industry) and classes, because no one cares if you have a diploma- just get the skills. Edit: and the way you get jobs is through friends. But imo don't worry about getting a job until your art is more solid. You'll be wasting your time applying to jobs you're not qualified for. Just get those fundamentals and develop a passion for learning. Get a non-art job to pay the bills while you build your portfolio, if need be. Having a job will teach you to work with a team and communicate effectively- whether it's an art job or not
