Help me /ic! After dropping our from college I decided to try following my dream, becoming an artist. My aim is becoming extremely good at drawing any subject from immagination.

Now, I can choose between two school, a very good industrial design one and a crappy fine arts one.

The industrial design seems the safest option with the highest chances to find a job, the problem is that it will be pretty hard and I don't know if it's exactly what I'm looking for, sure it will help but I don't know how much.

The fine arts one is pretty crappy but it will give me more free time to study by myself while some lessons will be useful, like the life drawing classes and maybe something about colour theory.

Opinions? What would you do if you were me?

Make better life choices.

Just curious, how do you muster the motivation to draw water filters?
>>

Go for industrial design man if it's good, many great concept artists have background as industrial designers and self teaching is quite difficult without proper guidance.
>>
>>3103134
If the only thing good about doing the fine arts course is life drawing then just do the design one and find normal life drawing sessions in your town (they'll be way cheaper too)

Go for industrial design.

You can apply what you learn to your art.

If you go to a crappy fine art school, you'll learn nothing and be forced to work on projects you don't like. That sounds like a waste doesn't it?
>>
neither if you live in US
otherwise go ID, don't squander 4 years of your life at a shit school like I did
>>
Okay, design be it. Thanks mates.

Did no one read this part of OP's thing? Industrial design is NOT art, you guys are fucking OP over.

industrial designer here,
now going as illustrator because in my country ID are one of the lowest paid jobs unless you have your own design studio
>>

they fall into the applied arts and industry category.

graduating from a design school means an employer knows you were taught solid trade skills and worked many many hours drawing, sketching, CAD, whatever the fuck to make things
which, compared to a degree from a liberal/arts school that says you spent 4 years of your life "expressing yourself" sounds to me like a more promising employee

t. a liberal arts art major grad who wishes they'd gone to design school
