Wow ahaha yeah even I can use photoshop, I did a music performance college course, and literally all my spare time was me just messing around on photoshop.. I've made a fair few weird things on it in my time ahah!

Yeah for instance, I've spent 10 hours today on one large render, it's a pain but it's totally worth it!

And whaat it doesnt have a 3D class or nothing? D: I came across learning to do 3D stuff just by chance, at my college if your course requires a computer they can give you one if you're eligible for certain things, and turns out, I got one! It was an old iMac that used to belong to our college's multi media department.. And it had Cinema4D! And basically as you can tell, I never looked back ahaha!

Yeah, photoshop is taught all across a lot of high schools. Most people have somewhat of a basic knowledge of photoshop, I think.
I suck when it comes to actually photoshopping though...pfft.

Wow, nice! I need to go see it after I post this comment.

No, unfortunately D:
They don't have one for 2D animating either though. It would be nice if they did.
Oh, wow! That'd be cool if I got a free computer if I go to college (really, I don't know. My mom still thinks I'll work at McDonalds, lmao. Even though 90% of the time I have is spent on studying and homework... *A*). Although I'll probably be bringing my own laptop over to whatever school I go to in the future.

Over here in the UK nobody teaches you how to use photoshop unless you're a college student on a graphic design course >.<

And that mega sucks, I would've thought most places would of taught some form of animating, back in high school in computer class we were taught the tiniest bit of 2D animating, not like I can remember any of that though ahahah!
And wow I spent like 1% of my school life studying and I kinda made it through high school...
 im a musician so im dumb as shit and never payed attention during school what so ever oops

Awww D:
Over here where I live it's usually an elective or an optional course in high school, but never in middle school. I think they only have it as a stress reliever course XD

Yeah, most people weren't even aware of Wacom tablets at my school. Art and animation isn't really a high priority, unfortunately D:
I'm self taught in the worst way possible so yeah
I'm goin to set a self-goal to get straight A's and I'm pretty sure I'll fail haha

pfft I pay some attention in class but I'm sort of too sleep deprived to focus that well

Middle school?  o.O HOW MANY DAMN SCHOOLS DO YOU HAVE TO GET THROUGH?

And that sucks, when I was in school I never wanted to be an artist or anything, but I took it because it was the least stressful out of every other course I mean c'mon I'm as stupid as a chicken without a brain, so it's not like I'm gonna be like YEAH LETS LEARN ABOUT EVERY PLANET AND WHAT EACH PLANET IS MADE OF AND ITS EXACT DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE EARTH. Nope, I just sat in art class doodling stick men  

I'm also self taught in basically everything I do ahahahah, I taught myself to do rendering and stuff, I spent 10 years of my life teaching myself how to play guitar, drums, ukulele, piano... (I can even kinda play a mandolin whaaat?!) And tbh self taught is the way to go, because you have no one nagging you with how to do things so it's pretty relaxing
And no you wouldn't fail, like, personally, I'm not a fan of most things everytime i scroll down a search in dA I'm hating every second because I hate most art types (oops) but I actually fricken love yours and you do it so well! Makin' me jealous :c 
i spent my whole 15 years of education being sleep deprived, i know them feels

why the heck did i just write an essay

Three. Or four. Or five. Or six. Or seven. 
If you want to be *really* specific, you can count preschool, kindergarten, college and grad school.

I never want to be a artist for life when I grow up because I know people will only buy my art when I die, which is just...uh. 
I feel like my computer graphics class is just another class where I can finish all my English essays, since I already know the basics my teacher teaches us about Photoshop :/
Haha if you like drawing stick figures maybe you should become the next Randall Munroe XD

Oh wow, that's a lot of instruments! I only play four of them, really badly. I like being self taught because I can procrastinate as much as I want to. X3


There's a lot of art types I dislike because it just makes me cringe inwardly even though I think there is no good or bad art; I just dislike the style or portrayal, I guess.
Yay, thanks! I'm trying to keep a consistent art style for the sake of being recognizable, though that's pretty unlikely.
Some people have established art styles but I'm just like NOPE LET'S RUN ALL OVER THE PLACE XD
haha yeah
sleep deprivation everywhereee
except for elementary school
elementary school was BS

If it makes you feel any better I wrote exactly one more word that you did

Woah o.o I'd count everything that counts as education, like, here we have nursery, primary school, high school, college & uni and thats it ahaha

That got mega deep "people only buy art when I die" oosh the truth, and omg, I had a lesson like that where instead of doing the actual subject you just finish all your other crap you gotta do xD

And what instruments can you play and yeah, thats the story of my life, *learns half a song* *watches funny cat videos on youtube* *continues learning*

Yeah thats exactly what I think, although usually sometimes I'll be like "that styles pretty cool" but then "oh it's of a subject i realllllly dislike nope bye" for example, i get so infuriated when i search minecraft on here AND ITS JUST A BUNCH OF BRONIES SHOWING THEIR NEW PONy PICTURES NO THATS NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR.

m8 i was sleep deprived from the moment i was born probably, sounds about right tbh

wow, that word count tho

Lol you might as well include preschool XD

I feel like with DA now people actually get more viewers for their art and they can actually sell stuff before they're dead

Yeah I basically just procrastinated for 2 years on learning the ocarina; I'm self taught but ended up forgetting about it so yeah

omg yes I've seen them and they make me want to program a filter to filter those out

My life is 40% composed of sleep deprivation aha
Teachers love to give out a lot of homework on the days other teachers also give out a lot of homework and give out no homework when other teachers give no homework 
To summarize, they enjoy making your life miserable

Lmao I cheated by using Google Docs

AliciaMyerscough In reply to Proxentauri [2015-10-05 19:50:55 +0000 UTC]

Well yeah dA gets you more viewers and higher chance to sell - but people don't buy unless you're crazy talented *stares angrily at dumb minecraft renders*

AND OCARINAS ARE SO COOL?!? I can kinda play the harmonica, and I remember I kinda joined in with some folk band a few months ago at an open mic night just playing a harmonica into a mic, it was weird o.o

yes filter out all the pony bronies pl0x i hate them

and yes, the sole purpose of teachers are to ruin your life, i teach judo/mixed martial arts to kids under the age of 16 and i'm like the best person ever because other coaches are like YA BETTER LEARN THIS BEFORE NEXT WEEK and i'm like, bE FREE SWEET CHILDREN ENJOY YOUR FREE TIME

Well, not necessarily--I see a lot of people that get away with selling mouse drawn MS paint pictures for 300 points a piece, but I don't think those really count
Noo your renders are fabulousss

Yeah, ocarinas are amazing
Being a hardcore Zelda fan, I'm overly obsessed with ocarinas...hehehe
Oh wow, cool! I have a harmonica somewhere but it's really dusty and tastes like blood, so..

haha not all 100% of them are horrible but a lot of them are super annoying

Haha wow nice XD
I started teaching the science bowl team at the middle school I went to last year a few weeks ago. It's actually really cool because the teachers are all alumni, and when I was part of the team I was taught by the 9th grader who actually teaches with me now
plus I get free service learning hours for this so woo

I think you did a great job! And you'll get better with time, I'm sure. What programs do you use to edit/create your pictures?

Proxentauri In reply to EmberSiren [2015-09-04 18:50:57 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Yeah, I probably will.
I use Paint Tool SAI, and it's all from scratch. I have the worst skills with editing pictures.
