Should I drop out? This is ridiculous, I feel like I learn more from tutorials on /ic/

sounds like a free art school
of course its going to be shit, what did you expect? people debate about whether the most expensive ones are even worth it

>> No.3060775

Get your shit together and use those years in art school. I know that (pic related) feel. I'm sick atm, dragging myself to work an it takes every inch of dedication to wake up early and draw.
Just do it, start today with a doable amount of work. You're young, healthy and in education. Do something with it, for it will only get harder once you're out of school.

It's up to you what you want things to be. Sure it might be shit, but look at what they can offer that you wont get at home. It might be space and time. Or a place where you can discuss and throw around ideas with like minded (you can not do this at /ic/).
Teachers with more knowledge than they teach (If they are working artists themselves it means that they have some kind of knowledge that you want, so milk that shit like a starving baby).

And for the record. Because this triggers the shit out of me. 3D models is shit compared to live models. Practising gestures by looking at a screen will never give you the same knowledge as practising by looking at a real object.

the meme was NOT to go to art school

I had to admit I needed some psychologist action/therapy when I hit a wall trying my best with that.

>that picture
That pretty much summed up how I end up trying to hang myself.
Pro tip: suspension hanging (when your feet touch the ground a bit) is much less painful than full drop, but it only works if you never trained your neck muscles.

no you fuckin couldnt, there's no substitute for real life drawing.

>I feel like I learn more from tutorials on /ic/
do you actually do work at home, tho? i've seen a ton of people drop out out of art school, and they just stay at home and don't improve because they have no consistent work ethic, and don't get jobs cause they can't network
. like, do you even know about any of the art shit happening in your city?

How would you know anything about that, you didn't even die.

>> No.3063330

If you think drawing from a screen or 3D model is the same as drawing a real person you're really lost. You just can't replace observational drawing. It takes a lot of practice . I'm sure you have developed technique to this point so combine that skill with observation and you'll get a lot further. If you went to art school to draw better super heros maybe it's not the place for you though

Drop out before you lose even more cash, kick/cut yourself for making such a stupid decision, then either go to school for something marketable while still improving at art on the side or if you're deadset on it find an art school that's not a meme
