--Richie, while it's a viable option (which originally what I planned to do) it's a total different experience if you have other aspiring like minded individuals to learn with.

--yea but its not the same i think as actually going to a school, because there is nobody to correct you when your wrong, so sometimes you misundersstand stuff

--so if there are more artists abroad that means you have more chance of increasing your skills, and making friends :D

--i think going abroad might be the best option, that some pretty harsh environment down there in the carribean
22 Aug 07:42
--just work crazy hard. think about the hardest youve ever worked and times it by 100
22 Aug 07:42
--So yeah, researching all of the things I need to be mindful for, and see which options is best. Either stay home work while study through online means, join contests etc. or use the one ticket way to go abroad.

--Sure gonna be a tough road if I go abroad, but can be my biggest realization/challenge to overcome :)

--Same in UK they acutly had the hours that studants can work reduced, since so many student were just here to work and make money

--hermi, many countries will allow you to work a reduced amount of hours as a student (north america/Oz/NZ is around 20hrs /week) Not sure about europe.

--Or the other way around is to study at home, while working as an "IT" which I dislike a lot, save up, see if there is a possibility of moving out, after saving up etc.

--you cant work much while being a student in many places, there is like 10-15hr limit

--Well I did mention about illustrator part haha, it's the direction I'm heading towards to, but reason why I want to go abroad is one, its my ticket towards moving out of the island (of course have to know whether or not you can work while been a student), and second I get to explore the environment of studying near other aspiring artists maybe.
