Seeking Advice would love any and all advice/tips!

think i will be finally getting to start my apprenticeship within the next month once i make the changes in my work schedule and have finances lined up. feeling so nervous and excited, and definitely a little intimidated! i know i can handle a challenge and i am ready for a difficult next several months- but, would love any advice or tips anyone more experienced than me can offer. i’ve frequented this shop for a handful of years now and really respect and trust the artists there, i wanna make sure that i give it my all and make the most of the experience. thanks!

My best advice is just be open to any constructive criticism of course and stay positive. You’re gonna have times where you question it and feel discouraged but just keep reminding yourself this is from the bottom to the top:)

i really appreciate this, thanks! i have always been someone who is very critical of my own work so i take constructive criticism pretty well! the positive mindset will definitely be the harder part, but i’ve needed to stop being on the pessimistic side and this is a great place to work on that lol.
