self taught

art teachers piss me off

I see,

art teachers couldn't teach you to draw awesome creepy things like you do :D

exactly

they keep trying to enforce their own view of art and intrests in art.

but really i just want to do my own thing.

Self-taught.

Even the few classes I've had have not added anything to what I do. They actually made me hate certain things more :P

wow, well you've achieved a great level at art which sure can make easily so jealous others :D

self taught, but I think my art is poor quality v.v

lies, I pretty like your stuff

<:3 thanks that mean alot

Everything i've learned i've taught myself, as far as art goes. :)

I have taken art classes, don't get me wrong.. But they all seem the same. "Draw this. exactly how I say."
I mean, isn't the point of art to break out of your own shell and be creative and original? It's nice to take a basic art class when you are younger to get a basic idea of light, colour, shape, etc. But to do the same thing in higher grades and even in college courses? Not my thing. Besides, I seem to learn better from personal experience and trial/error, rather than copying and/or memorization.

Only thing I wish I knew how to draw more of is landscapes and nature.. but in my town the only "nature" art classes are drawing wax fruit. :/

I totally agree with your statement
sorry for the short reply but I can't say any clever :D

Your agreement is clever enough!

Self-taught. All my friends that attended art school only achieved the ability to draw something they are curently looking at. Without a model, though... Not all art-schools are like that, ofc, but here in Croatia they mostly are.

well you are a pretty cool teacher for yourself :D

self taught, though I would not be against lessons.

I like how everyone is self-taught :D
I'd personally take lessons too :V

I brought together my art talent alone for years.

Sure, I learned a bunch of tips and skills from art classes like perspective and anatomy in my everyday school. But anything style wise I built on my own. @u@

I like your style and toony arts, keep up the good work and I'm sure It will still improve a lot

Awww thanky so muuuuch <3

aw thats not cool :V anyway, I really like your stuffs

Its totally unnecessary to answer to all of my comments
you are welcome

completely self taught. any art class in school was my excuse to draw during school. XD I really want to go to artschool, but it's soooooo expensive that I said fuck it for now. x_x;

awww :V your art is cool so keep on drawing

Self taught, not that it is saying much.

...

lol, wow, so many self taught artists around here.

a lot :D

Self taught, through my experiences with art I've learned that the more classes in it you take, the less you tend to want to do it for one reason or another. So for my music I'm staying the hell away from taking any classes.

Self taught with some classes here and there.
Honestly though? Being self taught doesn't necessarily make you any better than the person who takes classes. You can learn a lot in classes that you don't by yourself. So many artists look at tutorials and don't think anything of it but when you ask them about classes they're like, "PSSH. I'M TOO GOOD FOR THAT."

I would like to take more art classes. o: That'd be cool.

Yep those classes have a reason being self-taught is cool but if you could get by successfully in a class it may help a lot in the future

I'm self taught, but I do attend an art college. But it's not like i'm going into fine arts since i'm majoring in animation. Continually drawing and learning how to draw from life is important to how well you grow as an artist IMO.

good luck in achieving that goal :D

Completely self-taught up untill 2010 I attended ONE art course which didn't really improve my skill much. Just with still life

I have to say you truly have some great talent, its hard to believe some can be that good by auto-didactic methods :D I'm so glad I were able to get commission from you

self-taught
and all of my art teachers were too old to care about anatomy and shading and whatever and they were just like IT'S THE CONCEPT IT'S THE SOUL YOU PUT INTO YOUR WORK and shit

I guess then it weren't so helpful suggestion after all?
You did a great job on the self-teaching

nah but i understand them
anatomy and so forth is way too rigid for the grand majority of the pupils who just don't care so instead they get to mess around with ideas, my school is in no way specialized into the arts.

Self taught.
However, I look to other artists (not art teachers) to help me with improvement.

yay irl art-meets!
