first time trying to draw actual scenes and not just random stuff. Inspired by the band Comus.

Thought I'd show some of how I go about doing a portrait at this point. It was more of a value exercise than a portrait exercise, but any advice would be appreciated.

>No actual art school near me
>One art center I have had very old people in their beginning class(Like 50s old)
>They aren't even there to learn, but to refresh. They already good at other things anyways(like painting)
>Decide to take up a Drawing 1 course at my community college
>The teacher straight up has us draw Michelangelo and Leonardo drawings
>A way to get their style. Think what they were thinking.
>Weren't even taught how to even do anything yet.
>No value, anatomy, nothing.
>That was all we did, For most of the class
>He would always talk about history while being passive aggressive on modern society.
>Meanwhile most of the kids are already good drawers on their own. I have no clue why they are even taking the class because they clearly don't need it.
>Feel like a learned more by myself than the actual class
>Best part was actually learning how to do perspectives. But that only lasted one week.
>After I was done, I felt like I wasted my time.

I don't know what to make of it. It felt like 500 dollars down the drain. I really question the teaching method. I mean, if I could just copy then why the fuck did I need to spend money for it?

Master studies are always a part of Drawing 1. And in art you always learn more than the actual class, it's just there to guide you.

This is pretty normal it seems, I've taken art classes at my STEM school where it was nothing but copying or practice, well painting was, wood, metal and glass classes actually taught me little. I did them mostly to force myself to enjoy a hobby I otherwise wouldn't spend time on since STEM is brutal. Don't ever take community courses unless it's directly about some branch like construction or perspective or it's for access to live models.

>>2940340
Also OP, don't step foot into STEM unless you're passionate about it. Even then you'd go through hell, be burnt out and wonder why you're trying. Stay away from generic classes and classes from small colleges or ones without actually fleshed out art departments. Seems like art schools in general only teach techniques and you'll still be shit unless you do the practicing in your own time which will be harder with minutia busy-work and you'll be forced to do what was originally a source of fun, turning it into a chore and ruining motivation for it (going from a physics background but I'd wager it happens to everyone forced to do what they like past the point of interest). Teach yourself if you want to be good, most professional artists never went to art schools and at the end of the day the portfolio matters more while the degree itself is useless unless you can prove you're good.

I would literally rip out your spleen, sever your spine and make fairy dust out of your kneecaps in a gesture battle and that's just round one. I suggest you watch your tongue and watch as the big boys post instead.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little shit? Ill have you know I graduated top of my class at Vilppu Academy, and Ive been involved in numerous god-tier drawthreads, and I have over 300 furry commissions. I am trained in Loomis construction and Im the top shitposter on all of /ic/. You are nothing to me but just another shitposter. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. Youre fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and thats just with my Prismacolors. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire combined arsenal of the Tumblrina Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little clever comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldnt, you didnt, and now youre paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. Youre fucking dead, kiddo.

How about you just tell yourself to shut the fuck up and draw?

What's the point of starting late when I'm just gonna grind brainlessly like any other retard?

all resources are useful

the only thing I worry is if the source is teaching me something incorrectly

>>2939302
Pretty good. Have a bump, mon amie.

The only thing that stands out especially is the shitty voice acting, the ghosts are annoying to listen to, can occasionally be difficult to interpret words, and all sound really similar. Other than that, pretty good.

It was pretty good, but the ending should've been funny.

It's like it didn't have a strong idea of what it wants to be.

It kind of felt like the humor was ripped from Charlie the Unicorn, but it failed to be funny.

You really need to work more on your comedy/writing before you put all of this work in. That's the most important part of any project when stuff like Home Movies can stand alone despite looking like shit.

It's a good cartoon.

The animation is acceptable.
The story boarding is decent.

Everything is alright, but better writing would've carried this to excellence.

The voices carrying the lines also failed.

It's hard to tell who's who in this cartoon because of the lack of design on the ghosts.

It's not clear cut to me as a viewer because they all look the same aside from size. Charlie was the only ghost I could discern, and that's a negative thing.

I feel like the swearing is only there to make up for the lack of effort placed into the story itself.

A cartoon that isn't funny/cool/whatever is a chore to watch.

I don't know who the real audience is for this.

Maybe kids/young teenagers will like it, but even that is iffy because I can still watch Oney cartoons and giggle.

>Also wanted to know the name of a famous artist who does tutorials, has an artbook and his name is like...Keriz or something started by k. Thank you anyway!

Non existent. Which I guess is kinda good in a way. I can begin a new chapter in this little town.

Who's the artist for that pic?

Schools are shit but necessary in Europe.
I'll argue later when I will have my PC.

Go to an atelier. You live in freaking Italy, the mekka of art education. If you can afford it all go attend the Angel academy of art in Florence. Hell, there are several ateliers in Florence.

>>2935695
There's good schools there for sure, but OP should be aware that they aren't really in line with becoming a concept artist or a comic artist. OP would need to essentially self teach entire other skillsets since there would be limited crossover.
