Is there a supportive environment where noobs like me can hang out and improve together?
This is a very cool place but it’s also very overwhelming and I don’t really know where to go

Welcome on board!
I don’t know exactly where to point you, but for beginners usually youtube tutorials are a goldmine. Then you can share your efforts here and grow thanks to comments and critiques.
Good journey

I’m also looking for something like this. it’s hard for beginners to get involved in conversation when we don’t know anything. If you manage to find any communities, I’d appreciate it if you could share them.

Someone started one last year, it was fun while it lasted, it’s dead now :’( https://bbsg.boards.net/
Once a community gets big enough there’s always some aspect of social media promotion “look at me” thing to it. When it’s really small like that one was there’s like 100% signal and 0% noise.

There are a LOT of beginners here. More so than there ever have been, I’d say. This is as good a place as any to post your projects, questions etc…

I’m a noob too. I think one problem is that so many people are doing so many different kinds of things in blender that it’s hard to connect with people doing the same kind of thing- unless it’s pretty popular already. For instance, I am very interested in NPR, but in particular in what might be called an “American Comic Book” style of the kind that Frank Frazetta used to do, rather than the more common Anime style, but I can’t find anyone else who is doing this.
I’m also interested in emulating the look of 1950s magazine ‘photography’, which was often painted over photography in a semi-opaque way, making it somewhere between photorealist with technical limitations and handmade illustration.
If anyone knows of any one, or any place, focusing on these kinds of issues, I’d love to hear about them.
