[MBGamingLegends]

I guess I'm really lucky because I've seen comments saying that they wish they had those kind of classes at school and I do and I signed up for it. My friends watch and enjoy movies but I always look for faults in the special effects and animation and I'm a really talented artist so I'm on the right path.

[leoelmosca]

@MBGamingLegends good for you :D sadly here in uruguay we dont have the opportunity to take classes based on art. there are insitutes that teach the craft but managing that with school is almost impossible. i even took the architecture career just so i could draw something. nice to hear someone had the oportunity

[MBGamingLegends]

@leoelmosca I'm sad to hear that, there must be some college you can go to that offers an art of some kind?

[AndreaGehrke]

its interesting theres an xbox 360 in the background

[rubenvoorhees]

@AndreaGehrke lol ya but right next to it is my ps3, but the hockey mask is in the way :)

[Snarfzzzz]

[movmultilock]

BRILLIANT, but from 5.10 onwards was so crucial and inspiring, thanks for the advice!!!

Im currently in college, studying game designing but my mayor concern is: "do i have to be a perfect drawing artist to get at least a job in the video game industry?" because i suppose everyone that works there is a super cool drawing artist.

And to answer ur question, SuperMario

[rubenvoorhees]

@B3EtLejuIcE not really. i was a drawer b4 i started but not like a master at it. as long as u can do a sketch of an idea u have is fine. school will hound u to draw good but i personally dont draw as much in game industry. mostly just doodles as im bored or draw the model im gona build and see how the wire frame works

[dawid19900]

I screwed up my life... I always wanted to be an drawer, making tatoos, but in my country is hard to find a job like this, and my parents said that art school is too expensive and enviroment didn't help me with this, so I gave up... I listined to my parents about all this and i finished a mining school and started work in a coal mine like a lot of my family members... I can't say any bad word, it's a good paying job. But I've got conscience pangs that I didn't even try to do what I really wanted

[robertogomez1107]
