My goal is to learn modeling, and become a solo dev, but I’ve been wondering how I can improve my skills with modeling, how can I ‘practice’, I’m currently on level 2 part 1 of BlenderGuru’s tutorial. Do you think I should play around with Blender? What can I do?

Yeah, play around. Learn the basic mechanics and you’re gonna be good.

What i did which greatly benefited me was that i started to challenge myself with making models for my game such as trees and rocks just making them made me more skilled at blender.
One more thing it helps a lot to learn to make characters even if your game doesn’t have them it’s still a great exercise.

I wouldn’t suggest solo dev but each to their own.
Keep watching tutorials, I highly suggest Imphenzias lowpoly tutorial and practicing with blender. Familiarize yourself with modifiers and other functions, learn hotkeys.

I think it would be good to have something to use as an example. So pick something you feel motivated to make look perfect, and try making it.
My reasoning for this method:
- You can compare with what you are trying to create (You can see if something isnt right)
- Motivation to complete the creation to a high standard
- It will be darn cool to have made something you like from a movie or something
