Can't afford art school? – Tips for self taught Concept Artists.

I have 2 children I originally was gonna go to art school decided against it but my little girl started begging me for a "draw book" I remembered me begging my dad for a pad and along with my daughter I have jumped into it while hog and have improved so much thanks to your advice

I LOVE your videos! I can't tell if it's the way you speak or what, but you really know how to pour confidence and ambition into my head. I can't thank you enough.

What about people that lives in other countries ?,can we dream about work in big companies like blizzard or riot games without a degree?

I've been consuming your videos immensely recently to help me improve since my art is nowhere near the level it should be. They're very motivating!!

I'm wondering if I should even try to go to an art college. I could go for another passion of mine at a cheaper school, but at the end of the day I'd much, much rather be a video game artist. But the other degree would likely mean a more stable job (that I could go into private practice with)- but, at the same time, video game art is my passion. Granted, I could theoretically do both, too… but at the same time, it would hard to be a cosplayer, video game artist, and have another job at the same time.

I'm super slow artist i can draw in minutes but colors in months…. And i don't know how to fix it

I love listening to your videos while I work on my characters and designs

Hi, would it be possible for me to contact you?

06:00 thank you for sharing the secret ingredient to developing a healthy drive 🙂

This guys enthusiasm just got me through a massive creative block ~ thank you so much

You know what? You absolutely cannot mentor us about Twilight Monk and let us absorb your style more with daily videos.
Did that work?

Agree I self teaching myself since I was little first generation Goku and Pokemon here!

I know that this video is almost a year old (so I REALLY hope you see this) but, I am currently in college for game development right now, and I was hoping for some advice. My #1 goal is to make a character for league of legends. So do you think if i change majors to like animation (or something along those lines) that I can still be a concept artist? My biggest issue is that I have no idea how to use Photoshop. Where do I start learning? I have watched quite a few of your videos because I love the advice you give, and you inspire me. I talked with my instructor and they told me (because I had no idea) that making a character is never just a one person job and that honestly (I'm not just being dramatic) made me question my whole career choice. I want to draw characters and get paid to draw them. I would like to see a creation of mine hit the live servers one day, but if the only part of my character that I made hits the live server is the guns I drew or just they eyes and they change everything else about it I would be so crushed and broken (I'm sure it doesn't happen exactly like that but I hope you get my point). So what should I do? Sorry for rambling i guess to boil it back down to my original question(s?) Can I be a concept artist for video games even if I don't major in Game Development? And how do I learn how to master (or at least novice?) in Photoshop if I don't know a lick about it.

P.S I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
P.S.S I'm sorry for being a bother XD
P.S.S.S Thanks for reading 🙂 (if you do T_T)

fantastic advise thanks for the info it really helped me out now you have got a new subscriber

hopefully one day, I'll be able to "TWINK! This is gonna be my style"

Do you have recommendations for how to improve for someone who doesn't have alot of time to do this? I'm doing PhD in an engineering field with no intention to quit, so obviously, that will be my career path. I look at stuff that Feng Zhu does and I do want to be at least 1/5 as good, but sadly I don't have much time to spend painting and doing focused exercises.

Thank you for this ♥♥♥

Thank you for the tip! Its really helpful
