BIG OOF.

yea man.. that's literally the lifesaving just for studying something that might not even work out. Sad times I say.

did you look at schoolism.com?

yeah check out schoolism and gumroad both great value and twitch tv art section has lots of artists streaming you can learn a lot from there too for free

I may go to schoolism if it works in 6 years. I'd love to meet Bobby. FZD schools is like 3millions RSD and that's quite a lot since here lowest wage is 25000 dinars that's $248 or so

@Wexen Art Schoolism is NOT for beginners at all! Basic fundamentals, you learn from youtube or Skillshare. Skillshare is $1.34 for 2 months. WAY cheaper than Schoolism and FAR MORE courses!!!

You're a warrior!

I don't think that would actually help you though. The bar is always raising. A portfolio that would get you hired in 2006 will not get you hired at the same company today. None of the employees are the same, none of the industry standards are the same. The bar is always rising.

Lulu Bell maybe you could visit Laura Price channel. She got what you are asking here.

@Lulu Bell, so many factors besides portfolio that get an artist a job in a studio. I've known supervisors to reject portfolios that had artwork better than theirs. :/ If a place is looking for a $5 artist, and a $20 artist shows up....that $20 artist will be rejected. :/ Best thing to do is to look at what the company is making and that's your bar. Be able to fit into production. Have the relevant subject matter. Network as well. Meet people in person. People like working with people they can get along with. Start entering contests online, keep that Instagram full of art. :)

I'm 2D artist for game and make videos about drawing in photoshop. PLease support my chanel)

Heyy any updates?

illustration is where its at if you want more attention.

EDUCATING IS EASIER THAN YOU THINK. YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE @ UDEMY...

@Vazazell did you work in a AAA company?

Uh, do you want holy diver, stone cold crazy, or rebel yell?

Yes.

Thanks! Glad you found me!

you got it! Start with an exciting scene and work it out in script. Set your tone, and capture that one scene very quickly. Thats your standard. Next you should formulate a plan and a schedule based on how long it took you to do that sample. Stick to your schedule.

Thanks for taking the time to give me some very sound advice. I'm going to use that... I've got 2 weeks off for the holidays and no excuses not to get something started.

I do that sometimes for students who do the homework in my tutorials and share them with me on my Twitter.

Me too. It's the Red Dead Redemption. It ruined all of my productivity for the past 4 weeks.

Hey dude I'm doing through the same thing almost , I'm 19 but not in school. During the final years of hs i did all the research and thinking and came the conclusion that i cant afford to go the the proper schools for art and theres no point in going to a school i can hardly afford to learn next to nothing. I come from a "family' with not a lot of money so i was always at the short end of the stick and to add insult to injury i wanted to be an artist, not the doctor or what ever my parents want me to be. So things happen and i have to work over 40 hours a week now to get by right out of high school and it is the most depressing thing ever. during high school i was making so much progress with art putting in hours a day to become a concept artist, but work ruined a lot for me i couldn't adjust, i developed bad habits and didn't draw for months. i felt frustrated angry so much was thrown around i really wanted to quit i thought i should just do something and give up on it. There is just so much emotion that i cant put in to this. But the one thing i want to share to people is how important willpower is and how you should train it like your life depends on it. if its the life you want, then its not even an option to sit idle. After a while i wanted to scream at myself, i couldn't believe the type of person i have become and i realzed that nothing and i mean NOTHING can change me but myself. I took a giant step back looked up looked down looked around, zoomed out and really think about my next step. I looked at my mistakes and learned on them. i reformed the bad habits into good ones, figured out to work the same hours and still be able to draw. My way was to work afternoons for 8-9 hours then come home and draw for another 5 then sleep the day. its a system that has the best results for me and feels best for me so you could find one for yourself its hard but its possible. The way i was able to make it work for me now is the way i think about things, my mindset as always been "do my best and do whats right" Yours could be different so this will take a bit of digging to make work, i cant say that this is the best and only way of thinking about things and i wont say it because theres many ways to success right? I think i went of on a tangent but i sure it will still help someone(kinda wanted to get that off mychest as well) Point is just dont ever give in to other thoughts and emotions. if art is your thing and you love it, THERE IS NO MORE SUITABLE LIFESTYLE! the art life is what you want and what you *_will_* work for.

@@shovel203 Wow... thank you

@tsorakin.....dude, you're asking for life advice without explaining much of anything. This is not a fair question to ask. You haven't even stated what your goals are, and you're asking someone if you should quit? Dude....seems like you answered your own question. :/ IF your WHY isn't strong enough, any excuse to quit will be enough. :/

@shovel where do you live? What State? Did you get into a Trade? I can state this to any artist out there. Get into a Trade while working on your art. Reason being, you will be working with your hands, you will be interacting with people, you will be developing the soft skills that will aid you in a studio environment if that is your goal. Also Trades pay the same and sometimes MORE than art jobs in studios! :)

@@MrRossT1 What is a Trade exactly? Is it a facility where artists meet?
