      @@nemo7228 I’m guessing that you probably have to get into where he teaches, and then as you build your status you will be able to work with more and more people. That’s what I’ve managed to find out in my research with concept art school

      @@talvarjitaahan3743 I'm not entirely sure in a professional setting myself, but contributing to communities I'm in has helped me get a lot of minor opportunities I wouldn't have had otherwise. For example, posting consistently in a community and having the head of that community notice your work. Working with one of the heads can get you _more_ recognition on an even higher level.

    I just graduated from school and I really want to get into the game art industry but I'm just having trouble getting my foot in the door. Most places are looking for senior level artists and there really isnt many options for junior level artists

    i am admittedly not a great artist. i’ve been drawing for a while but only started taking it seriously my senior year of high school. i started engineering school this semester, hated it and changed my major and hope that i can improve enough to build a portfolio and potentially work as a riot artist one day. i’m not really sure where to start tho, i’m mainly focusing on perfecting anatomy before i get to style and all that but i just don’t really know where to go from there.

I kinda wish we have art courses here in line with getting to this kind of industry, cause I always wanted to be a concept artist.

    • @GoingAery
      @GoingAery 3 года назад

      Graphic design student here and my opinion in this based on my peers in my major who are also artists and freelancers is that you should still go to school. I don’t know about Art colleges in the Philippines but at the very least get a minor or major in Business. Because if you’re going towards the freelance route, you’ll have to learn to market and manage yourself. A major in graphic design will still help grow your creativity and design process but if I’d known art bootcamps exist, I would’ve gone for that instead. Where I live it costs about $9,000 or more but that’s still cheaper than university education.
