Are there any examples of artists who never went to art school and got successful anyway?
In my country it is impossible for me to go to any kind of art school (because our school system is fucked up) and art schools like in america or elsewhere don't exist here. Neither animation schools... And there aren't any possibilities to go to life drawing classes for me.
I heard some interviews and it seems that everybody who is successful or popular went to art school. I am desperate and don't know what to do. I have a graphic design degree, but this just don't satisfies me.
So, is there anyone who made it into game art, card art or even comic artists without art school experience? Or should I just quit drawing and suicide. (Not literally, working in a job that fucks up my soul just feels like this.)
