Mindsets :

1. Train your eye
Try to be more aware of your sorroundings, take photos, See more reference compositing shots, study case your cg elements, see how the real world lighting works. This will train your eye and your perception of the things that you want to create.

2. Put your ego down
Make mistakes, better know now than later, addmiting your mistakes can also be one of your skills to tell your supervisor that you are willing to learn from comments for other
