"Studying smart is more important then studying hard" This Idea has been planted in my head for a long time, but again without someone else to tell you that you're doing the right thing, it's really hard. And especially with exercises that one should do regularly to really improve, I always question myself if I'm even doing it right and don't stay motivated at all.

I agree 100%, if you are motivated and disciplined, you will find the resources and people to learn what you desire. It just takes time, patience and persistence. In this information rich time we live in, it's all there at your finger tips with an internet connection. That said, one has to apply and practice the information that one absorbs, otherwise the information has no true cohesive meaning. Skills are built through experience.

People are different. Some thrive in a classroom environment. College was useful for me because I got to try a bunch of things that I would never have encountered otherwise like jewelry, pottery and film making. Even though I proceeded to pursue painting the chance to experiment with other artforms was invaluable. As was the chance to practice gallery installation and group critiques. It's clearly not the right choice for everyone but it is for many.

I live in Italy and go to an art school. I know they cannot teach everything, and you have to do a choice because not every academy is well organized and it's worth the time and effort. But you have to take the good out of it. There will be useless course, more useful courses, teachers with great knowledge and some to spend no time with. But in the end it's also a matter of experience, you could discover something that you like so much and if you were so specific in your studies didn't notice at all.

I’ve committed to Florent Farges as a beginner intermediate. It helps to use one guy for awhile or you get confused. He’s gotten me ( like a bull in a China shop) organized and somewhat more methodical and a lot motivated. It’s saving me time and progress is much faster! He has a great mentality too....a philosophical guy and his teaching....the oil painting course the live painting and his color theory are even done very artistically and everything he says is pure information. He really is an artist who also teaches extremely well. The color theory is so well priced it’s an absolute steal. As well as his Patron membership of $10 a month ( he could charge more for sure but tell him that! I’m poor!) Id pay $35 a month on a very very tight SSI budget. Check him out. You’ll be glad you did! Just an extremely happy student of his. The setting from which he speaks always has something artistic about it. It’s an absolute pleasure and incomparable.

Not sure what he can teach about art, apart from exploiting, corrupting and betraying it. Even Herzog comes off badly in his ad, saying storyboarding is for cowards. Oh so scripts are okay, but storyboards are cowardly? How does that work? It doesn't, that's how. He should take his 'masterclass' back to the drawing board with that silly proclamation.

My take on this, being 31 and having done all the mistakes with art education: imagine you spend your days at your dream school. Take a calendar and set out 3 to 6 hours a day where you take "classes". These classes are study sessions of the subjects that conform your art/career goal. Why 3-6 and not 10? Because you need at least another 3 hours during your day for personal projects. All the studying and classes will get you no where if you don't start creating along with your studying. Having projects side by side with your "classes" will inform pretty quickly what you need to be studying. Finishing projects will also serve as way to cycle through different "classes" to keep things fresh and will avoid meltdowns. I'm lightyears away of being any good like Marshal or Stan but I find this approach really fun and it can also be customized if you happen to teach or work part time while still trying to improve your art. Love the podcast, I remember first watching these two in youtube in 2013, still enjoying their lessons and empathy.

Older guy, the guy my age is right about having a directed path by a maven. I am self taught via online, videos etc. Even if the info was there on a given subject, there's no guarantee you will find it in a given or resaonable amount of time. Yes, you can learn via searches, but when someone can tell you "What to look for" or simply have the answer, it's faster. Even with learning something like Houdini for destruction effects. You can learn the broad "highway" effect but what if you want to learn something more specific. Most are only using it in a particular way so they may not even have info you need. For example, Houdini "Prop destruction" with character interaction. Most houdini users are blowing up houses, not breaking Armor shield or spears. There's no real solution other than custom mavens. However, sometimes there's a new tutorial from some indie users or rogue school. Often, a specific request for specific training material from a flexible small mentorship or DVD school has to be publish and that still can take a couple of months to create.

I must have missed this episode, so thanks for the recap. My goal would be hopefully to be a character concept artist/character designer, most probably for the video game industry (or the film industry, why not), so I figured I need to learn how to draw characters (obviously), and that's pretty much the reason why I got the figure drawing course from Proko (as well as the anatomy course and the portrait course). I hope I did the right choice, since these courses will help me to understand how to draw the human figure. Once I feel confident enough to take the next step, I'll probably try and find a concept art/character design course. I hope I can fulfill my dream.
@dwintster3 жыл бұрын
Sound approach, keep at it. Just remember the easiest way to get good at something is to understand it. I went to a 4 year design school for Industrial Design over a decade ago and what I found that works best for learning design is project based learning. I have also taken a few character design courses at CGMA its the same thing. So I would suggest picking up the 3 books on character design from 3D total or if just one the character and creature design book from Marc taro holmes and begin to work your way through it project by project and seek feedback, rinse and repeat. This is how you fast track your path to design.

There has to be a Pro somewhere. Now there is a lot of info but in a way it's too much info. It's overwhelming and you still don't know if you can getting the right info.
