To study or not to study? (portfolio example included)
Hello Polyount people!, 2 years ago i posted here because i wanted to know if my portfolio was good enough to apply to university. (thread: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=127660 ) I applied to many schools and also looked for work. I got accepted for a 3d Art job and worked there for 1 year (not… -
Re: To study or not to study? (portfolio example included)
Depends on a lot of different things. Are you planning to apply work overseas? Can you afford university? What sort of course are you after, a broad art/design degree or a specialized one? Do you enjoy a classroom environment? Degrees are expensive but accreditation from an institute makes it easier for visa applications… -
Re: To study or not to study? (portfolio example included)
Totally agreed, when I was in school I was constantly working on portfolio projects outside of class and doing tutorials to better my skills. I learned a lot from the university I went to, but I feel like I learned a lot more on my own. My only advice is before you apply to a university and invest potentially huge amounts… -

I think that you will learn much more with Video Tutorials. The money that i spend for Art School was thrown out of the window. @School i learned maybe 3% of my complete knowledge. 97% is selfstudy and watching Video Tutorials. -
Re: To study or not to study? (portfolio example included)
Thanks for the replies. I didnt post more of my work because i am not satisfied with it. It is nothing i would put into my portfolio since they are only doodles or not finished or too old.

for a good artists, no matter how you good are, there are always toons of things to learn and study, never is enought. I'm in the same moment that you are. I prefer to work more in my portfolio and study full time until i feel that i have surpassed myself and demostrate all my talent. If you get a job, you will no have… -

Looking at what you can already do a full collage degree really is not what I would do. I used to sign up to sculpting and drawing classes at the San Francisco community collage not to far from my apartment when I was still in the US. The class was cheap, you can also choose to attend without credit, and they provide live… -
Re: To study or not to study? (portfolio example included)
I think you'd learn more taking 5 or so projects through the full pipeline to finished, polished portfolio pieces than you would attending school. Maybe, since you want to be a sculptor (?? more info on your job aspirations would be helpful; do you want to make toys or statues, or do you want to be a character artist?),… -

Thats really hard to judge based on one image and its hard too see definition as a cause of the material. Taking a weekends only job and working 6 months intensively on your portfolio should be enough to have a good portfolio and many doors open Id say, but thats only one option.
