Re: It's the college requested as an Environment Artist
You will progress slower but more steadily in a college. For example I learned by myself in 6 months what is taught in 2 years on college. However I havent practised as much. And BOY it is so frustrating when you try to find an answer by yourself. But in the end you have solid knowledge by yourself. I guess both ways are… -
