Thanks for the advice! I agree, I've been using youtube tutorials as a resource as well as brainstorm school and schoolism. Thankfully there are lots of available gumroad tutorials directly from artist whom I admire so I haven't been completely alone in my studies.

I do think that guidance would cut out a lot of the wandering but I enjoy learning new things so the wandering has been fun for me. :)

I'll check out coursera, maybe there's something cool to learn there for me, thank you so much!
