School

Actually I’d been studying at art school for about 7 years and for 4 years at graphic design university. And i can say that it was one of the most important decision in my life.
In general I’ve been drawing for 16 years 🤔

The art school gave me not only basic knowledge, I got special art’s feeling of composition, colors and shapes. I I think it’s incredibly useful to get traditional education, understand academic art and study drawing for years for an artist.

I’m an old school girl and I believe in practice. Day by day, year by year. Because a lot of people ask me about which course I can recommend. I tell them:”-An art school” and they reply:”-Ohhh it’s too long!”
Okay 😞 And I agree with them!
The time flies and we have to be fast! And it’s soooooo tricky thing because you have to be a professional today, but only the time makes you a professional! 😭

Actually online school can be a good alternative to a traditional art school. Just find a good one. Unfortunately I can’t recommend anyone 😞
Don’t hurry up so much. Don’t be afraid of spending at least a couple of years on learning. Be patient and keep going and you will get a result.

Remember the main thing is practice! Do sketches every day. Don’t be ashamed of posting your works! It’s soo interesting to compare yourself yesterday and yourself today. If you even have a professional education it’s nothing without practicing!❤️ And I’m still learning! Every time I think ohhh I can’t draw what’s a hell i’m doing!?😅

So guys, it’s only my story. I will so glad if you share your thoughts about how you did study/are studying.
Love you all!
