Well stick with it! I started with fine art in college and every one of my professors discouraged me from drawing or sculpting the monsters. All they ever wanted to see was apples in a bowl or super abstract bla. I eventually left and got a crappy social science degree, but a big part of me wishes I had stuck it out.
Yea it's very important to not let people discourage you. I don't really get why some people have such a negativa attitude towards art-related paths in life.
What Demi said. I studied Art, fine art, sculpture, Painting and digital for years at college and I have to say that my tutors beat the joy for it out of me.Only now am I reconnecting with it in a way I want to. Draw what YOU want to draw. Paint what YOU want to paint. Don't loose your passion
Too bad you had that kind of (stupid) mentors. But I'm glad you're starting agan with the art creating!
Yes I'll do that, and trust me, I will never lose my passion and goals, it's My biggest reason to live.
Go for it man! Be prepared to work like slave for a lot of years, but once you make it though that difficult starting time you shouldn't have a shortage of clients.
I abandoned my Graphic Design career after being hit in the nuts by one economic crisis after another in the early years of the noughties, and also because I was rather specialized in 3D, and that was a non-existant sector in Belgium around 2000-2004. IT turned out to be way more stable, and model painting offers an outlet for my creative spasms, but those of my mates who were more the 'classic' illustrator graphic designers weathered the meagre years somewhat better and with time comes a fatter portfolio, which opens more doors...
Thanks man, I'll definitely keep pushing forward! Ah I see, a lot of peeps with art backgrounds on here it seems. Thats awesome!
Are you doing any 3D-modeling nowadays?
I'm an art student too, (and this is my last year uh oh) I guess I've had a good experience as I've loved all of my classes and teachers and can't wait to get into the industry full time. Miniature painting is also a great creative outlet that doesn't feel like work. Looking forward to your next posts!
Nice that you find your classes and teachers to be great! Wish I felt the same when I was studying art. And yea, miniature painting/modeling is awesome in a lot aspects.
It's been a while since my last update so it's definitely time for some pics! (More to come soon)
