If I could go to red engine, I wouldn't hesitate, because it's workshop based, you learn on your own, and then you get the benefit of the lectures and the crits

Yeah there's the online thing now, and they are expensive courses! A lot of pros are doing the cgma stuff.

If you can get crits from scott robertson, feng zhu etc. on a daily bases, that will make you improve super fast

yes gilgler in some ways I have doubt that if I don't go to artschool I;ve missed out on something. I dont why that is, but it's nagging.

just work hard, you can do it on your own, there are advantages and disadvantages to going to artschool

Ha, kemp rilliard, Jan Urschel, and Eduardo Pena, say that their graphic design education was indispensible.

yes and he developed it over the years. It's important to be surrounding by a good eco-system of artists. If your isolated this can be difficult.

graphic design is a waste of time imo

Because pros learn stuff by themselves, they develop their own techniques, and go deeper into some fundamentals than others, they have a lot of stuff to teach

I'll give it to Negra who is simply a savant. Jones at least lived in California.

Like why are pros taking courses online or going to ateliers?

Anthony Jones and Alex Negrea are better than 99% of other people who have been painting for the same time while going to artschool

25 Feb 00:17

Even faster the trends are in concept art.

constructicon

well I`m not really into illustration but concept art

25 Feb 00:17

Nous

I'll say that things are now faster to learn, and trends come quicker in the illustrative/art field.

Yeah but think how better these guys could have been - like rigney for instance had to learn all the pitfalls himself, yet with proper crit he may have avoided half the mistakes.

James gurney is from like, 1956 or something, the internet didn't exist back then, not going to artschool wasn't really an option

25 Feb 00:13

Gliger

brad rigney didn't go either

25 Feb 00:12
