/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Why wasn't Bob Ross ever interested in any serious painting techniques?

I have a better idea. Work harder than anyone else, position myself in the video game industry, and end up in my endgame as an Art Director in a Californian game company making $150,000/year

But of course, that not only requires great art skills, but great art direction, sense of style, great communication and leadership skills. Which for 99.999% of you, is quite an unattainable prospect.

Furthermore, anyone going to 99.9% of art schools is taking a big risk in receiving flawed teaching and critique from teachers and students.

Art school being bad is not a meme like some morons in this thread suggest, it's a reality. Art schools have by and large not caught up with the professional world and are still in their own little bubbles.

Considering that no decent art position requires education of any kind, it's quite pointless to go waste tens of thousands of dollars, when you could spend a fraction and get a far better education from already proven sources.
