You can blame my Treyarch buddy

Linked the page to me, cited it as something to study

Someone from Treyarch ? wow, that's unexpected.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He works on a personal learning project of making his own graphics engine, so he appreciates artists who kick butt at efficient art.

deviantArt isn't the place to look for effective growth. it's good for publicity and reasserting shared worldviews, but little else sadly. And fan art(ists).
If you really want to grow, I suggest places like CGHUB, CGtalk, conceptart.org, Awesome Horse, etc. Little praise is given, lots of "this piece sucks, do this better"

thanks checking em out right now

Both.
I'd argue the idea of "common sense" not being common, but I'm going to assume you mean by intuition, which is something else entirely.
It's gonna be both. Do as much as you can from both. The reference thing will train your memory if anything. As a beginner, do as much reference as you can.
I'm still crap. Bus rides to work, I do quick sketches from reference from the Sartorialist to do costumed figures. I also do the "ink blot," blindly creating a light scribble, and then massaging those lines into something concrete.
Do both as much as you can, and reference when appropriate. If there's a humanoid, there's usually a reference, or several pieces of reference bits.
And keep a sketchbook and draw in it as much as you can, if you don't already.

I do have a sketchbook

I doubt it's constructive.
It's just kinda disappointing to see Ctrlpaint resort to DA for this sorta group. It's not a clear environment to grow in. You tend to get more praise and less useful critiques.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, you might be right. But for me, the one thing helps me to improve and the other to go on.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Reminder that I'm basically using DA as an art dump. Spend most tome frequenting CGHUB, etc.

It's hard to find good brothers in Christ.

It is hard, it's nice to talk to someone about it without a debate that ends up them giving up but not changing.

haha, we are talking about the very foundations of what determines of reality.

Yeah, it's sad but true. I just finished going in circles around this girl's qualms and questions and it did nothing

That explains alot. As a student myself, I have to say "Congrats" on your accomplishment. All the more reason to ask you your advice. However, if you are to busy, I respect that.
You're good kid, real good.

Haha, if you are, I'd be careful how the hours just sink into it. I've played before, and it's a good game, but hours just disappear like wisps very quickly.

xD i know i know o3o; but it already has my soul...

That's probably not a good thing. Don't go Faust-ing!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Faust gave his soul to the Devil in return for superior knowledge, power etc, but when it came time to pay up, he lamented for a while. There was an actual guy named faust, but the previous Story about him is a play.
So...that's how it's related to Faust.
