Marshall, about the composition bootcamp, if I purchase the eavesdropper tier, will I be able to watch the feedback and project briefs if I don't catch the streams? (Timezones make it difficult to watch live)

People who want to work in the games industry know how to make both 2D and 3D art. How easy is it to transition into 3D if you know how to draw and paint?

What is the best way to get inspired? Like when you want to draw something and you don't know what to draw?

Heya Sinix! I'm following your art path in life, self teaching and working to getting a professional job in concept art. Since I'm following a similar path to you, what would you recommend to yourself when you were learning? (Drawing exercises, books, etc)
Also will you make a course for concept art/digital painting?

Asked for help
Bean and structure study.
I would appreciate it very much if you could point out anything to me😊
And I don’t know where is the best place to post the drawings when I drew from few lessons🥲
I'd recommend posting these in the figure drawing section since you made the beans, not sure about the animal construction though. Though these are really good! Maybe the connection between the beans is a little thin, but overall, great work!

Heya Sinix! I love your art style and your tutorial videos on Youtube, so I'm really looking forward to this stream tonight :D
Over the past year I was planning to go to art university, however because of the world pandemic, I didn't end up going. I'm really glad that I did that since I've been learning a ton from teaching myself with online art courses, and I've heard that you only taught yourself too. Since I'm following a similar path to you, what would you recommend to yourself when you were learning? (Drawing exercises, books, etc)
Lastly, will you be offering any courses on Proko?
Thanks Sinix!
What is the most important fundamental to learn? (Observational skills, Anatomy, Gesture, Perspective, Construction)
I think they are all important as the basic fundamentals of art, but after you practice and be able to apply all of them well, you can start choosing which direction tou want to focus more on depending on the art you want to create
They're all important :) Think about it--if one of them is wrong, then the whole piece looks off. It's like if you try to bake a cake, but forget one of the ingredients--no one really wants to eat it. This whole art thing is a journey and it never really ends. Take your time and try to learn them all.
I wanted to ask if you can make a living from art if you don't go to art school?

You sure can! I know plenty of people who never went to art school who are pros. Among them I think are Jim Lee, and Kim Jung Gi.
I went to the Watts Atelier and Jeff used to always say to me "You have 100,000 bad drawings inside of you no matter who you are. The job of an art school is to show you how to correct them yourself and get through 10,000 of them". If you can self motivate, and stay consistent, clever and creative with your artwork you don't have to go to art school.
Also, art school is expensive! For a lot of the really big ones, you'll end up with tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.
In short, the job of an art school is to guide you a bit. But after that 4 years, you have another 40-60 to do it yourself. I highly recommend @Steven Zapata's channel on this stuff. He has a few videos on art school that explain it well.
Hope this helps!
Is it possible to make a living from art without going to art school?

My name is Cyan, and I've been teaching myself to draw and paint over the last year. I'm looking to become a professional one day, and I'm working hard to achieve that!
This essay piqued my interest because it provides the reader with important information https://cupcakes2048.io and makes a solid argument.
