WATCH THIS Before You Go To Art School! 🎨 DRAW WITH ME

[@lunely]

when I was 12, I first found out about calarts through your videos! Now I’ll be attending my first year of Calarts character animation in the fall. ^__^ this video was very helpful and helped ease my anxieties a little. Thanks so much for all you do!

I applied to LASALLE college of the art and got accepted to animation program! You are one of my biggest inspiration and I actually took a lot of advice from your videos. Anyway I wanted to say thank you for making these lovely and informative videos (and not just art stuff), and I really love your art

[@mewTripled]

Awww T_T thank you so much and congrats!

[@xscape1749]

@@mewTripled Do you know the programs/classes you went to for SVA, PARSONS, AND FIT to develop your skills? I live in NY and I'm trying to develop my foundational skills before entering my senior year (I'm currently a junior), but the summer programs that I see are so expensive.

[@robyncoleman2423]

Ahh can't believe it! I've loved this sketchbook series, helped me get through working on my final year film!

[@jimbosmith5863]

I'm thinking about going to art school but I'm already a bit older, so it feels more uncertain 😔. It's super interesting to hear about your experiences though!

[@emmi_eben]

Me too :(

[@ghighitv7009]

i stood out with drawing as a kid at a young age. my horses actually looked like horses. then i neglacted it, was seeking my path elsewhere. now im 30 and find myself be drawn back to the beginning (no pun intended). back to the pencil and drawings. i recently started drawing again after years. and its still almost like it never left. now a part of me is curious about art school and discovering what the creative corner has to offer my creative mind. but im also terrefied to check it out let alone comit to it. cause im not feeling confident with the expanses of a study like that. and i do not wanna leave my pets behind. they are my muse.

[@best_of_ant]

Congrats on finishing this lovely sketchbook!!! And speaking of art school, originally I wanted to attend art high school after graduating but due to finices that didn't happen. Although I'm kinda thankful that I didn't end up going, emotional stability and other, I just wasn't ready for it all. There is so much to be worked on and honestly I'd rather take time to develop my skills and better my mental and physical health too. So thank you again for making such great videos and spreading awareness topics such as these (◍•ᴗ•◍)!!!

[@FaithMichelleStudios]

This video came up perfectly! I’m going into my grade 12 year of high school and I have been stressed over what major to take at Emily carr university. But this helped with my over all stress and anxiety about it 😊

[@jean-fq6qc]

hi! i was in the same boat as you

[@jester-the-clown3314]

I really like art but I’m pretty bad so I plan on getting better media and art have been really the only subjects I’m interested in and also industrial but art has been a big thing just more creative things so I love this channel.

[@jester-the-clown3314]

I just can’t draw body’s like at all

[@jester-the-clown3314]

But yeah when I want to draw I can’t think of anything to draw so yea I love creative things but can’t think of anything creative

[@hazelmoon4985]

This is so helpful although I am not going to art college/university any time soon I am going to art high school so this is very helpful to see other people’s experiences! You art style is cute and so confident!

[@alipacc]

This was SUPER helpful! I just love how you talk about this stuff, and I relate to a lot of this especially how many oppurtunities you took, I'm currently in the process of doing so and I hope I get accepted. I'm applying in three years, and I just really really appreciate this video, it gives me more information, and motivation too! I got into this online summer program that's like CSSSA and it's called QSSA instead, they use the same syllabus if I'm not mistaken and it's pretty epic even though classes start in July, there's so many great people here and so much to learn. I really appreciate this! Thank you so much for these videos!

@@stellal5427 yes PLS omg

[@FaithMichelleStudios]

Also a tip for high school students, Idk if this is just a Canada thing but check if your school has district programs. I joined the Emily carr district program and I got to take a 4 months long class with a proffessor from the university and took a class at Emily carr in grade 11. I learned so much and because I got a good grade in that class I got many advantages waiting for me when I attend Emily carr

[@havenskye9170]

Yes! Next year I’m taking a program called new market that kinda teaches industry standards? It’s super helpful

[@wishyfishie]

Hello!! I just wanted to pop by and thank you so much for the words of encouragement and tips you've been giving out for the past many years. I discovered my passion for art/animation through you in around 7th grade, which inspired me to go for animation/art school for college!! Although I had to give up animation school after recieving my tuition due to funds (very disheartening but i can always study it on my own) , i'll be studying art and art education in the fall !! Your videos and comics are always so nice to watch or read when i draw, feel down, or just want a burst of inspiration, so thank you so much!! I wish you the best in your future endeavors 😘🥰

[@jaakkojauho5211]

I just got accepted for a art school! Glad i found this video so know what to expect. Love your work!

[@BrooklynKitty852]

I also wish I documented my time in art school better! It definitely is a bit of a blur since so much happened, but I am happy with the memories and stories I got to keep.

[@CowChan789]

[@zombiedrool5437]

Going to art school this fall and I’m having major impostor syndrome like I have been drawing for years but CAN I DRAW? i DONT KNOW, EEEEE?!? Art is the only thing I want to do but I’m scared my abilities aren’t “good enough” to make a career out of it.

[@anamilyn7658]

I’m in the same boat as you :(

[@BlissAnimations]

I wish I could go so badly, but money is s thing. I just need to remind myself that I'm probably looking through this with rose tinted glasses and that there are other cheaper options.

[@mewTripled]

Great news is that there are online options now like brainstorm, CDA, schoolism that offer online courses and many art jobs in the US don't require a degree if you're a US citizen, but if you're international you don't necessarily need to go to the stereotypically top schools! Either way wishing you the best of luck on your journey!

[@BlissAnimations]

@@mewTripled Thank you so much ^^! Thankfully I'm a US citizen so I'm going to do the best to get a job first. Are there any jobs in the industry that are in high demand?

[@lukedoglt]

Not sure if I should go to art school, still have time but I believe I don't. Still enjoyed the video, seeing you draw without construction is so crispy

[@raineterni2219]

6:04 I'm honestly confused what art universities actually want. I'm not from US, our schooling works differently and I went just to general high school. I applied for art uni the last year during autumn and did share my characters, storyboards, finished animation etc. etc. with them as well as illustrations and 3D models and I got only 1 point out of 5 required for being accepted. The more I think about it I assume they take in only people who they already know, have relatives in the industry, or at least have previous art education and a self-taught artist "without a pedigree" doesn't stand a chance. It's not like I'm art god or anything, but they are teachers to teach, if I was already god-level why would I bother to apply...

[@whateverimtired1578]

I think is important listen about your experiences, and im really happy for u did this video for us, ty for all

I think it ultimately is it up to you but I will say always draw and find your way no matter how tough things look.

[@CosplayWorkouts]

I've loved this series!! It has been super chill and inspiring with introspective hoesomeness 😭 So excited for the sketchbook tour 💕

[@ohdeardeer804]

i cant help but feel im in the middle of everything. i want to draw as my job so badly, yet im so scared to take opportunities and grow up too fast. i dont want to admit i may not be good enough, and im too fearful to check. as a soon to be hs senior, any tips? (i am kinda interning currently and will take ap art studio next year, but i feel adrift.)

[@VJ-fr2zd]

I’m going into my 2nd year of animation so I hope this helps 1.Knowing you want to become an artist can be scary as it seems to become more real, suddenly more serious and different from drawing for fun as a child. I’m guessing taking it on more seriously is what makes you feel like you growing up to fast because it is a new chapter in your life? I recommend reflecting what drew you towards art in the first place/ your lightning bolt moment when it clicked in for that you wanted to be an artist. It could be a motivator, also knowing what you want to achieve specifically in your your career can make it less daunting and you can add and complete it slowly, to prevent losing your love for animation having your own projects separate from your school work can make art stress free and more enjoyable or taking a brake from time to time. 2.The fear of not being good enough is defiantly strong as an artist but changing your mindset can help. Rather then seeing yourself as a perfectionist see yourself as a learner it can help you accept mistakes as they are there to show you where you can improve rather then defining your overall capabilities and who you are as a person. If you can try build up your self esteem and overall sense of self without it being heavily tied to your art it will help a ton. 3. Stepping out of your comfort zone! I relate to this part the most, using me as an example I shy away from being social and being myself for fear of being rejected and the potential threat of embarrassment and at first I felt “Safe” but over time I recognised this system didn’t work for me anymore and had to figure out what parts work weren’t meeting my needs any more and to grow better habits as well as being open to challenging myself and being compassionate for when I struggled and even now, still do. It’s important to remember it is something to keep working on through out your life but take it day by day and the experience will pile up. I will edit this if I have anymore advice :)

[@cupofjo_art]

My big thing is ive considered the pros and cons fo art school and I know that do want to go but the question I've been stuck on for 2 years now is WHERE? All I ever hear about is CalArts, SCAD, or Ringling, or LCAD, and I cant afford/attend schools like these. I have been researching for a long time and I still have no idea what school to consider going to.

[@corvid0]

your art is so cute :D

[@mariebutler6156]

I really love your style! It’s very amazing 😻 And your sketchbooks are really creative. Just like any other animation from Calarts. One of your animations are my inspirations of animation and also getting into CALARTS for Character Animation. 🎨 As a senior or class of 2022, I don’t know if it’s really the right school for me but I really wanna go next year. I’ve been practicing very hard and i have a good style. And your little videos always gave me great tips and good advice ✏️ Thank you 😃👩🏾‍🎨

[@boots1622fan]

youtube was glitching out on the last video so i couldnt comment but- i don't think that you don't enjoy art anymore. I mean- Enjoying story telling and making comics is a type of art. even if art is only the medium which you express that... people don't have to want to be good at art to enjoy it. In fact- wanting to be good might even hinder people to enjoy it... i mean, fear of failure is a huge barrier for people, right? idk. there's lot of different reasons to enjoy art and if you kept pushing yourself to perfection, i think it wouldn't make you happy and would even hinder you in a career. maybe?

[@beanmiller5927]

[@nothere6492]

I love your drawings sm! I want to get into SVA so bad and be in the animation program. I was wondering what you meant on drawing with a story in mind? How does one convey that. I sometimes feel like I do that when I am in my figure drawing class... do you have any tips?!

[@mewTripled]

Thank you so much and good luck with everything! With story in mind, it's like giving something a purpose or intention? When drawing a figure, try to avoid just having them sit there / stand there and staring into space -- sometimes you can't help it because the model will just sit there and not do a storytelling pose, but you can always make adjustments like to the face, give them an emotion, make it look like they are feeling something or doing something instead of just stand there and smiling! Thumbnails to show you think about storyboarding a story, or illustrating a scene about a situation helps too. Definitely a very abstract and nuanced thing that i did not understand completely at first too..

From what I've heard it might be more mandatory for intl. students to go to art school to be able to apply to jobs :(. I don't think you necessarily have to go to a top art school, but at least attending a US school majoring in the field of art you want to get into may be necessary! Sorry I am not an international student but in my video "should you go to calarts?" I have my intl. friend Noor talking about being one!
