Nowadays you can actually draw anime art, as long as you're able to also have a wide variety of art styles, it's pretty ok now. It's better to not just stick with a style, you need to have a range, that's what people want in the animation or art industry. (If you're going in seriously and not like a TH-cam job/freelancer.)
Wait I can mix style! The illustrator of Dr.Stone has this interesting style teach. It’s like your narrow minded version of anime art style mixed with the old ones, you see?
My grandmother (an obvious very, VERY old school person) told me that I need to get off my phone and start drawing on paper, because digital art isn’t real art. I asked her about Disney, and that that wasn’t real art? She responded with “Well they started in paper.” -.- My grandfather, a traditional artist, walked in and said “Oh please, if digital art isn’t real art, then neither is sculpting because that isn’t done on paper.” He then went to go get a Coke and my grandmother sighed and kept doing her Sudoku. I kept drawing.
It’s not about whether it’s real art or not, posting fanart of copyrighted material on the internet IS a federal crime even if the owners of the IP don’t usually come after artists for it. Any reasonable well meaning professor shouldn’t give their students permission to break the law. LT should have done her damn homework, this misconception has gotten people into legal trouble
@@olivesusername you know you can credit the artist in the description, right? and pretty much all the fanarts i have seen mentioned that it is fanart for a certain character, or a redrawing of someone else's art. also, federal crime? legal trouble? what, are they gonna throw a 13 years old in jail for drawing sasuke or what
Traditionalists: Look at this historical figure! They went against the tide by trying something new! Student: *_Tries something new_* Traditionalists: No, wait-
Everyone’s like “art teachers hate anime” but that’s completely the opposite with mine. She encourages us to draw anime, and we even did a project studying anime.
I think that’s pretty smart. Considering most art schools lean towards more traditional art. Anime originates from Japan, it’s an art style and culture. It would be fun to learn.
I love how teachers say to copy an artist like Picasso’s painting and nothing is wrong but if I draw and anime character it’s immediately wrong and “ it’s not real are it’s just a copy “.
I have a tip on how to NOT buy EXPENSIVE paints just to like appease the teachers: Grab the used container of expressive paint that has ended or unusable wash that and then buy the mid tear and less expensive paint and put it on the recipient, it’s not like they are going to notice, you just have to find one that looks like expensive paint but you don’t need to buy the more expensive paint Also discard the less expensive paint recipient before they see it
people who say "fanart isnt real art" confuse the heck out of me. like,,, just because i don't own the character im drawing, that suddenly invalidates the years i spent learning how to draw, and all the knowledge of art and it's rules that i used to create said fanart??? that don't add up, chief > _ >
“Fan art isn’t real art.” Well technically everything _is_ fan art. When you paint a landscape picture, you’re making fan art for nature When you draw a self portrait, you’re making fan art for yourself And the list goes on, and on..
Another lie: "Stress is good for you." But they never say where the line is drawn. So they cram 4-5 final assignments in each semester (mine is 4 months per semester) and expect us to do well and have our sleep schedule intact.
@@sungquette Karoshi in Japan, but everywhere else. Personally, I don't believe that just because someone went through tough times, it warrants them to make it mandatory for others experience the same. Even if a few can work under intense pressure and succeed, it's few and far between.
Me: *looks at finished piece about the paint.* Left side of brain: “Expensive paint is good paint.” Right side of brain: “Expensive is good, paint paint.”
I live in italy, in my art school they encourage to do everything that its art (fan art are actualy accepted) and they ask to buy the paints we want. I didnt expect that american art schools were so outdated
As an american i can confirm that most of our political and education systems are filled with idiots that don't know about the different ways people learn, like i have adhd and anxiety, and my teachers basically just gave up on me early on and i failed middle school
@Giannirey well, fun fact: our teachers says that we need to go wild with our drawings, they often disencurage us to do "classical" and "perfect" stuff
About the fanart comment: everyone in the pjo fandom knows about this artist but for those of you that don't. There's been a big fanartist for percy jackson for years that rick riordan actually made her the official artist for the series.
I'm going into my first art class next year (where I live middle school starts in 7th grade) and I don't know what I'll draw. Who knows, I might draw sans lol.
My art teacher called every type of cartoons as anime, and basically hated animation. He tried to change my entire style. In the end as a little f you, I made a realistic drawing of Danny Phantom. He had no choice but to judge a cartoon based on “the bases he had taught”. It was glorious
Japanese natives also called every type of cartoons anime because technically they are. Anime is just what they call them. My Japanese sensei called Frozen and Dora the Explorer anime.
@@caramelu2525 heavy metal poisoning. If you keep touching the paint with your bare hands, the metals in the pigment are absorbed through the skin and go into your bloodstream.
Yes this is a good idea! There’s a popular misconception that digital art is somehow “easier” according to non-artists. Would love to see LavenderTowne disprove some myths/misconceptions about art in her videos.
@@atlaslovesedm bruh, I only find actual furries annoying but it's just because of the ones I've met. The ones I met full on act like animals, like this one girl bit my flipping arm for who knows what reason. I mean I would probably not have a problem with them if I had met other ones that didn't act like they need to be put in a mental asylum and could actauly handle being around them ;-;. In the end idk what the point of saying all this was. *awkwardly walks away*
*deep breath* WHOEVER SAID THAT DESERVES THE DEATH SENTENCE (I'm kidding) But seriously, using a sharp pencil makes it harder to erase when you've got the finished lineart done (it indents the paper)
@@kadan2889 no matter how sharp your pencil is, it should not indent the paper. That only happens when we sometimes get heavy handed, it just comes with practice to use pencils (mechanical or not) without applying too much pressure.
I have a funny (kinda) experience with art teachers: My fifth grade art teacher was very very strict, and always wanted us to draw “perfect”. I’m not exactly the best in traditional art, although I’m waaay better at digital art (not on a level that I personally like, but still better) and I once mentioned that I do digital art in class and she went off “Oh, digital art? If you ask me (jokes on you, I didn’t ask) it’s not even real art.” Without giving any real reason. And since she was one of my favorite teachers, it totally discouraged me and I stopped doing art for about 2 years. My 7th grade teacher tho, was different. Yes, she was strict, but she wanted us to explore it on our own. She had certain standards but everyone was free to figure out the way they would meet these standards. After I have gotten back to digital art, I once asked her while cleaning the classroom what she thought about digital art. Her answer was “I personally think that digital art is an amazing form of art. It gives the artist more opportunities to explore, without being afraid that they wasted too much money in the medium. It’s complicated and complex in its own way, which makes it really unique! I don’t think it’s invalid just because it’s a screen” and this made me really happy!
I'm the polar opposite of you. The reason I find digital art so fascinating is because I suck at it, and I'm trying to learn it, but I'm too used to paper art. I don't suck at the drawing itself anymore, but I just really suck at doing the digital coloring, but I don't have a printer at home to print out my digitally drawn sketches.
@@pixelg7047 that story wasn’t even that unbelievable, it is possible for that to happen, just asking, what about the story made you think it didn’t happen?
I remember in 6th grade we were making art for a competition. The theme was hopes and fears. I drew myself in a cave of failure trying to reach the end, which was the light of success. I drew in a cartoony style and my art teacher kept on coming over and would take the pencil from me, drawing my work in her own way, making it realistic, while giving me suggestions. Every time she left, I erased the work she had done and would do it again in my own way. She told me I was doing it wrong and I told her that it was MY work, and if I wanted it without details, I wouldn’t make details. She gave me a lower-than-usual grade but I didn’t care. As long as she kept her nose out of my style preferences, I was fine.
My kindergarten teacher would always be like in the Middle of art period : "you need to do this not that" and would erase somthing I did on it and draw somthing herself. And god pray for me if I erased it
Crawly Lé Spider lmao imagine if you were like “Fuck lady, YOU draw it then!” People really think everyone has to act like them, it’s beyond me how people like that become teachers, let alone art teachers
my art teacher has us draw realistic quite often which she is amazing at if your having trouble she’ll make light lights to help you with shading and stuff only after asking permission though
aimalisapro123 In 6th grade an artist that did collages came in and told us to make a collage using magazine cutouts. I wasn’t that good at drawing and painting so I was excited to use my creativity in art for something I would be proud of. Anyway I used loads of dark cutouts and only like four lighter cutouts because I already had an idea of what I was gonna do. Every time that artist walked by me she would be like “Oh sweetheart, don’t you want something lighter, like the roses here?”. I would always say no thank you and she would turn up her nose and walk away. When I was up to the gluing stage, I had decide to make a beach with a huge cave with water in it. Out of magazine cutouts. It was looking really cool and realistic and the artist came over again and PEEELD OFF the already glued on pieces and rearranged it while saying “See, it’ll look better if you cover all theses dark pieces and move them under this.” I quietly told her what I was doing and she told me that it was a bad idea for a GIRlL to do and I should do a flower garden instead. So I nodded and did what I was going to do anyway
"Why are the eyes so big???" "Why are the fingers only four???" "Can you draw me?" "Why is the mouth seperated??" "Are you an artist??" "Why don't you show the hands??" "Is that you??" "What is that??" "Can you draw me in anime??" *The most annoying questions they ask me at my school..*
It’s the worst. I could list like 20 more annoying things they tell you off the top of my head. It’s also extremely irritating when they act superior, think they’re better, and basically imply that they know best when they can’t even draw a freaking stick figure. (I’m talking about classmates, although I wouldn’t be surprised if adults did this too.)
@@musical_clementine993 This hits too close to home. And when they just *stand there* over your shoulder and watch you draw while criticizing your art and asking too many questions, that just makes me *not want to draw at all.* 😫
Thankfully I’ve had people who are like ‘ooh... your drawing is so good’. (Bless their pure souls, but I’m like a thousand miles from being good). Anyway, I think anyone who can draw even remotely good has been asked ‘can you draw me?’. Personally I appreciate that they think my art is that good, but it isn’t.
One day I drew a character and the face was that of someone who had been caught in the act and had a shadow in the middle of both eyes and my friends started saying "What is that ??" "Why does he have a nose between your eyes? " And it just annoyed me alot ( No one is going to read but *OK*)
Art school is still sometimes worth going to! I mostly put this out to just straighten out a few of the incorrect things I was taught but the majority of things I learned helped a lot. ^^
@Flufflingg People can do edit in gacha and do art, who are you to put restrictions on them? People can do gaming and art, or graphic design and baking, they can do whatever the hell they want.
@Flufflingg just because people use gacha doesn't mean there's a better or WORSE chance to be an artist in fact wouldn't it be better because it would give them at least some art history to make there art better rather then doing nothing at least they actually are starting to practice art rather than doing nothing and having no idea on how to draw
One time I went up to my grandma showed her my tablet and was like Look at this cool drawing I made! And she said..... DiGiTal ArT Is NoT ReAl ArT.. IT's juSt TrACiNg... *Bruh*
I am glad that some art schools are changing this now. I just got accepted in an art school and guess what 80% of my portfolio consisted of? Fanart drawn in manga style. Got an A+ on my portfolio. I asked my future teachers how they got the idea to become a good and modern art school and they just shrugged and said "Manga and fanart sell" And I love that 😁
Luckyyyyyyyy😣 Ok, yeh, my college does now accept anime/manga. But the only reason my portfolio was passed was because i used my own characters. My BNHA and Steven Universe fanart didn't do so well....
That’s really interesting! The main reason art teachers rejected anime/manga style art in the past was mainly because it didn’t sell at all in the west. Anime was considered a niche, underground market only a few decades ago, so it makes sense why art teachers would discourage western students from pursuing paths like those. However, now that anime/manga has become mainstream in the west, it’s now acceptable to use it at certain art schools considering how it actually has a market.
Ok so the part about toxic paints is absolutely valid and true, but you left out that it is only a small number of *pigments* that do it, not colors. There isn't a specific shade of orange that can be toxic, but there is a specific orange pigment that can be toxic (usually cadmium). To be sure, look at the pigment identification number (ie PB28, or pigment blue 28, for a cobalt blue) not just the name. You also left out that this isn't just for acrylics, but for all types of paint. But an upside is that paint companies are starting to phase out using those toxic pigments in their paints. Now either having mixes/hues of that color, removing them from preselected sets, and/or making them more expensive to make people reconsider buying them. Ok that's the end of this massive PSA
Thank you, I feel like this is the same idea if I said drawing tablet give you radiation poisoning, she isn't aware of the stuff she's talking about when it comes to pigment cause she doesn't really use them
@SleepyLam some pigments are toxic but not specific colors. ie xyz brand paint named "Cobalt blue" may not actually have the pigment that makes Cobalt blue traditionally toxic
My Art teachers Elementary: Art is everything and anything (She didn't like when people rushed and didn't like it when people did amazing on the drawing then just scribbled for the color) Middle School: Art is everything from drawing, to music, and plays (liked effort and didn't like rushed work) High school: Lets have some fun
Awwww! Thats nice.i dont have an art teacher in my middle school i think,but i think that thye wouldnt really care what we drew,as long as it was appropriate.
@@Alex_01908 Yes and no. I remember someone talking about improvement by putting themself on time limits. Though I think that is more of a after you already know how to draw step.
I had an art teacher in high school who thought like this for a while. She and I butted heads until she finally relented when presented with the logic of, "If I'm getting it done and what I'm doing is working, then what's the problem?"
Same about math teachers! I had a really hard time figuring out my teachers' way of doing math, and when I figured out my own way that was much easier for me (and a lot of my classmates) I got a 0 for using the wrong method even thiugh I got all the right answers. The teacher got chewed the fuck out for failing me when I should have gotten a 4 (100%)
I had this brutally honest art instructor during a workshop, one of my favorite guys ever. He sat us all down and said "I'm going to show you the work, I'm going to show you what and how, and I'm going to suggest the assignment, but I won't care if you don't turn it in, if you're unmotivated, that's on you, you're ultimately my future competition, and if you fail to do the work, that's one less person to worry about later" I laughed so hard as the jaws of my fellow workshop students dropped. He also used to tell us all about the lies of the art academies, his favorite to bring up was connections. He would tell us, "you get connections by going out into the world, not hoping someone suggests you inside a campus"
Sounds like a cool teacher. Sounds honest but not in a “just mean but claims he’s ‘just being honest’” way, like in an actual “Look I’m not gonna hunt you down for missing assignments and realistically you gotta put yourself out there.”
Art teachers: It’s all about expressing yourself! Yea, drawing struggles from my life is way more fun and interesting than releasing stress by drawing what I love.
This. I'm always weirded out by artists who make "tortured genius" art. Why dig yourself deeper into the depression hole if you can lift yourself out by drawing something cheerful?
@@imperfectimp in their defense, doing that would be a form of toxic positivity. Many make art about their struggles to regulate them. What I meant in my comment was that art shouldn’t be forced to always be personal, it can be anything.
torrented cracked versions of the adobe CS6 suite exist and were the entire reason I was able to learn digital art because I didn't know about free programs, I found it on piratebay at 14 and it still exists and works now when I installed it on my new PC in January (I'm 22 now). It's like 3 steps, anything I didn't understand I usd google for. Since then I've moved to other free programs anyway because I like them so much more, but there are still effects that I can only achieve in photoshop, so I still keep it around.
I’m glad I’m not alone in having issues in art classes. My teacher would yell at me for being the slowest drawer. :/ I enjoy taking my time in art to make sure it’s the best that I can physically draw. (I once spent 7 hours drawing grass once) It’s hard when art teachers complain about how quick or slow you are at drawing. Since I was the slowest drawer in my class.
So you're saying that your teacher complain about "slow people" even tought like you said for you it's just to make the best version of what your doing ... interesting
So about the "Adobe or else" section: My teachers in the Digital Media department absolutely HATE Adobe and Autodesk, and have been looking for any kind of software that can do the same job so they can make the switch. Cheaper is better, and if they find alternatives to subscription-based software, they'll teach us how to use that program instead. For 2D and 3D animation, they had us use Blender. For Post Production, they had us use DaVinci Resolve which can substitute for Audition, Premiere, AND After Effects. They didn't have substitutes for Photoshop and Illustrator, but I think the Affinity Suite might just replace it in the near future. But also, my teachers were trend breakers who did freelance work, and sold 3D assets on online marketplaces, so they're not exactly the old fashion types.
"They dont like fanart" *me thinking about my 13 sketchbooks full of fanart that I'm planning to use for applying uni and hoping my dream school doesnt mind it*
Follow the words of Ethan Becker: DRAW FROM REFERENCE. DRAW BY STUDYING THE PROS YOU LIKE. NEVER DRAW FROM IMAGINATION* *well, not NEVER but perfect practice you big baby. ALSO TRACING IS JUSTIFIABLE IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES Wise words
Well I think getting inspiration from other character (or anything else from someone else’s drawing) is fine but you do need to try and make your own characters or own backgrounds so you aren’t so dependent on other people’s work. I don’t mean this as ‘if you’re professional you shouldn’t use a reference’ but you will find it hard to make an original character if you copy other people’s characters.
Rj 27 yeah, every group and teacher i met thought their art was the supreme form of art. They did have some people that were like cool and there was a stairwell where everyone painted random stuff on it which was cool but oh yeah they were pretentious lol. Even super simple art was presented as super brilliant amazing expressive stuff.
I’m not an artist, but to me it always seemed like there were a lot of opportunities for an artist with all the platforms, like Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, TH-cam (where my history is just filled with Hamilton art animatics) WEBTOON, etc, so it was really surprising to me when you said there were only 2 paths given in college
Oh my gosh, the Adobe one hits so hard. I don't even go to an art specific school, just a community college with digital art classes. I told my instructor that I use CSP at home and she literally just laughed and said "no one uses CSP". Like really? I can name a few big time artists who use CSP. Jhonen fricken Vasquez uses CSP. Joke on you teach, I pirated Adobe Illustrator for your class :P Though the fan art thing is something my instructor encourages us to do. We had a project to make a t-shirt/poster design based on whatever TV show, movie, video game, etc we wanted. Our final project is literally fan art of whatever character we wanted to do.
I used the school computers at my community college, until quarantine. Even then I was constantly giving out other options than Adobe during legit Adobe classes like Photoshop and After Effects. XD I have 3 different drawing programs that all work better than Adobe photoshop. 1 for sketching (Autodesk: Sketchbook ) 2 for comic making, logos, and other projects requiring clean line art (FireAlpaca) 3 for animation, and paints (Krita) I also found VSDC for a Premier replacement. Best part? They are all FREE and work AMAZING.
Everyone at this point pirates any adobe software. Its almost a rite of passage. It’s unreal what they ask for and they can’t bother to make a tutorial or a user interface that’s easy to remember as well as pick up and on top of that, it requires a subscription? Fuck that noise.
@@CosmicGaijin Yes, I too have pirated after effects and photoshop for varies things. It's sad when Adobe charges more than a World of Warcraft subscription. Both are shitty, hell, and have sucked dry the wallets of thousands, but at least WoW makes an effort to show you how to do stuff.
but all artists *do* study human anatomy before they start to develop their own art style?? like if you look at picasso's earlier works they're more realistic and not as abstract. anime is just an art style, like wtf is wrong with art teachers
Their viewpoint is problematic in the way it is presented, but you should consider learning the rules first if you want to break them. Stylised art is good, but you should also know the basics and the rules in order to warp them. Not learning the fundamentals can stagnate your growth as an artist. The fundamentals are there to teach you methods on how to tackle your art, not just waste your time. You need to be able to warp it in a way that is still aesthetically pleasing, or just easier for you to do because you know the techniques that you can apply.
As far as I know, all manga artists actually have to go through school studying anatomy and all that before they can even start writing manga, so some realism is present.
Honestly it’s crazy how in art school I’ve had professors be like “cartoon/comic book/anime art bad!” Especially compared to the art that they praise half the time. At least in my experience
Yeah sad tbh. I see so many people saying in these comments staying you have to follow the rules to break them. That’s suck a load of shit. I’ve worked so hard over the past few years to be a self taught artist without doing traditional art. You don’t have to follow the rules to break them just make your own damn rules.
Art schools want their students to use their emotions and expressions like they are all misunderstood edgy emo kids from the movies who splash on paint and create masterpiece. Critics adore standing in front of an art work for 2 hours and understand nothing of it, than seeing a good figure drawing in a superhero costume. It will always be annoying to me, because I prefer comic-book art style to anything else and some bitches really gonna stop in front of it and say it's not worth a dime, when I've worked my whole life to reach that level of accuracy, but will stop next to a naked gal in weird position and be like "THIS IS ART."
@@plants-xo7ug the people who were known for rule breaking in any art form more often than not weren't even doing it consciously (ie."...there were rules??"), whenever they developed their fundamentals or encountered such things it was put into practice along with their personal stylization. Not by doing it by a prescribed order, because the two feed each other.
@@plants-xo7ug That's really cool! Although I think they mostly mean learning anatomy and color theory and all that kinda stuff, cuz digital art needs that too. With anatomy, you can make cartoon art look good w/o anatomy practice, but from personal experience, my art looks a lot better once I do learn anatomy basics
Bruh- a substitute art teacher came up to me when i was drawing and said " fAn arT isNt ArT!¡" ....... I wasn't doing fan art- it was just a creepy lookin rabbit-
See that’s the thing: when people and organizations _say_ “fanart is bad” they usually always _mean_ “stylized art is bad.” I’ve also seen people go “Oh, but they mean ACTUAL bad art!” Like... but they don’t. They mean any art style they just happen to dislike. People have used anime with bad anatomy as examples but like, if the goal of art school is to get a job, who fucking cares if it looks bad if it clearly _does_ make money, proven by their own examples. If you really want people to get better, use positive feedback, constructive criticism, and specific assignments. Not “Your art is bad because I don’t like it.” That’s just tearing students down.
if any of you are scared of toxic paint, they make hue versions of pigments like cobalt, manganese, and cadmium which are safer than the colors without 'hue' at the end @-@
cad •me accidentally ingesting inks, waxes, oil paint, acrylic paint, plus my classmate making highly toxic, highly cancerous chem experiments as the prof lets him• so who’s up for that 5th coffee today?
Joseph Goforth why does my water bottle have paint on its cap? Did I- did I just put my paintbrush in my mouth- oh god why am I putting a permanent marker against my tongue?!
I guess this goes for pure art schools cause in my Uni, the art department was sorta "meh" on fanart and anime, mostly bc the art curriculum pushes for modernism and design and not really for pure fine art. In fact, alot of drawing teachers at my school respected anime and never outright hated anime or comics or cartoons. They mentioned, however, that there should be a focus on fundamentals and building a strong foundation. Edit: there WAS this old fogey fine art painter teacher who talked about how the school didn't go for rennaissance style art when it comes to practice and preferred Modern Art(tm)
oH my god, the expensive paints one got on my nerves! One of my professors literally said we had to get 7-10 specific brand paints and what she said about it was literally "oh dont worry, its only 95$ for a bundle" I didn't say anything much to her besides i literally only make minimum wage and that is _not_ a small fee, and i only ended up using 1/4th of the 60ml tubes
I used to just do any painting assignments with cheap $1 acrylics. And when I’d present my piece that was done and ready, all the other students had barely been able to put on their 2nd layer because they were using oil paints because that’s apparently the only way to paint according to my old teacher. I still pases and got hundreds all the time since I was the only one turning in completed projects.
@Laura S. , ahahahha no. The calss that required those paints was an _introduction to colour theory_ class, in my first ever quater of college. It would have made more sense if it was a high level class but :/
Me: I like surrealism maybe I should use it on my pro- Art teacher in my highschool: Nah nah nah.. I said REAL art styles. She legitimately thought that surrealism wasn't an actual art form. Like.. 🤔🤨
Lavender: *posts* Me: Yeah sure why not. Me later: I'm still going, and I'll use my teacher's blood as red paint if they say anime sucks or fanart is trash.
Every other teacher: Anime isnt real art My class art teacher at school: WERE GONNA IMPROVE BY DRAWING SOME ANIME BAKAS My whole class: YAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAY
I was hella blessed to have a high-school art teacher who supported my anime art. One time I made an anime pop-art sorta painting and protested that anime art is just as valid as regular art, and she gave me an A :)
Yees! My middle school art teacher was such a doll and she was so supportive. She loved my works and encouraged me to try new things and gave me so much advice. While she only taught realism, she always encouraged us to apply certain factors to our styles to make them nicer, which has helped me so much in making my art nicer looking. If I can track her down next year, I'll make sure to thank her for everything she's done!
The paint one surprised me. My professor wore gloves while he painted and we used mineral spirits instead of turpentine, specifically because of the chemical danger. We spent a decent amount of time talking about materials and the benefits and drawbacks between price and quality.
It all depends on the teacher. That is almost 100% the case. Its also the case that education in general, in America, has become extremely lazy and complacent - especially colleges.
When she started talking about the toxic paint it remained me oh when I painted on my foot with some spare paint I mixed up and it started burning so my brother made me scrub it off. It didn’t stain my foot or actually burn it. It was FolkArt and Apple Barrel btw
I'm a self taught artist and my art teacher in high school really hated digital art, as a digital artist it really discouraged me. Especially since most of our assignments were for sketch books. I do get being traditional and all but there were kids who blatantly traced art or even stole art from other students, it was so bad that I had to hide my sketch book. And this art class is supposed to be for advanced only students but we had to do stuff the beginning class had to do, like how are supposed to advance our skills if we keep doing the beginner class stuff?
I've never picked up a Wacom or drawing tablet, I've never used the PC for coloring, I've never been good at doing Graphic Design or anything Art-wise digitally, but I respect those whose brains are "wired" to pick up "digital art" more naturally than me, the end result of that artwork blows my mind and I respect that finished product, but NEVER will I respect the idea of relying on non-traditional methods that don't start with mechanical pencil and paper and whatever coloring medium y'all choose! I'm content in the Traditional method of creating art because I'm in my comfort zone, and I keep learning the traditional way, because in the end, clients still want the physical feeling of paper, but not just paper, the feeling of the medium used on that paper, and that REAL EFFORT and Love went into actually drawing, coloring and getting one's hands dirty to create it! You CANNOT replace that with digital art or Graphic Design, which is why I'm proud to be a Traditional illustration artist!
@@michaelsimkins7078 I do get that. As I do sometimes draw tradionally. But I find drawing digital comes more naturally to me. I do like have a physical copy of art if someone does draw something for me. I've been trying to draw more in my sketch book rather on my laptop so often.
Im a self taught artist ,in south africa, my highschool teacher is kinda cool with things like digital art and pencil on paper art (whatever u call it )but school work art has to cover the whole page ,i think it kinda sucks for the others so i'd pretty much preffer digital art cause you have a variety of coloures (colors in america😒😒)and tools.
"Fan art won't get you a job." Me: Let's just ignore ALL of the THOUSANDS of youtubers out there who make MILLIONS of dollars doing fan art. Then your statement will be true.
Lies they tell me in art school: *_”You’re good at drawing.”_* Edit: I might delete this comment since it seemed to insult so many people. Edit 2: Alright, at least some enjoyed it. Thanks for the likes!
ha ... ha... That's I think when my parents say my art is good plus when my teachers say that (No I don't go to an art school they're just my normal school teachers) my art is good my brain is like "Well that's there job to be nice and supportive they're lying!" I know they're job is to actually teach us not that but I still think that stupid self esteem.
Art teacher: Ugh anime and cartoons aren't art! Me: Well you thought me drawing an emoji was an orange with a face so you cant really judge what's art soooooo yea.
Art teachers seeing anime: isn't art Art teachers seeing different colored scribbles on a paper: *Now this is art* Edit:Thanks for all the likes ive never gotten so many!
the anime artist: in this work of mine, i tried to expose the ignorance, hate and insults of the society to people who is different from them and how these people fee- art school: *THIS IS UGLY SHIT* random mOdErn artist: idk man. just bought some expensive paints and scribbled with them. art school: *NOW THIS IS THE R E A L ART*
「アキラαкιяα」 what I hate about it is the regular snobby attitude of the common people taste is worthless and only does with great taste and intelligent knows better then regular people.. okay I like modern art but I also like anime.. and I would mind some made a amine about modern art and so .. think about it a Anime about Andy Warhol.. The Factory.. Velvet Underground.. Studio 56 .. someone take my money and make it already..
I feel like people should really just accept what others perceive as art. I myself, including some of my friends, have gotten a lot of rude comments from people about fan art and different references to characters, quotes, etc. I don't really draw fan art but my friend does so she has a hard time.
About the fanart thing- A fanartist for TF2 drew a character design for the announcer voice that plays during game rounds. Valve loved her design and not only made that design canon, but hired her to be the lead artist for TF2's webcomic series ~
Ikr? But a similar thing happened to me. Literally seconds after the video was uploaded, 7 dislikes. Like... did you even watch it? Or just a hater with notifications on?
I personally think that fanart can help me practice different facial designs and facial expressions. Because it kinda forces you to look more closely at the features of the characters face that make them look more recognisable.
Bruh fanart allows you to go into big communities with lots of people to give you exposure, compliment you, give feedback, and most likely fellow artists to help you. Fanart is not gonna get you into trouble (unless you take credit for someone else's work thats a whole other rabbit hole)
High school art teacher: Don't draw anime, it's not real art. Now recreate the Mona Lisa. College art professor: *who is a giant weeb* You drew my fav anime character, and you used all this cool art stuff to get the composition you wanted. You get an A
Honestly my college professors have been huge nerds! I complemented one of my teacher’s Tri-gun shirts and we talked about the anime for 20 minutes of class
This was super helpful! coincidentally, ive been hearing a lot recently about how art schools can misguide you and these exact lies can get into your head. So hearing this from someone who has experienced art school, and what isn’t false information, really helped me see the bigger picture :)
art teachers: anime, manga, fanart, anthro art, and any digital art in gneral istn REAL ART *digital artists spending time and effort on all their work* -_- ... Well gee thanks OMG THANKS FOR THE LIKES - I have never gotten this many wow
As a digital artist, I can confirm that I have gotten a lot of hate and people who misunderstand digital art. I dislike them. I don't hate them. I wish people would try to understand something before saying "iT'S noT rEal."
My school isn’t an art school, but the degree I’m in is apart of the art department there, so we hold student show cases for the art students. This guy created a large digital piece, completely realism. From afar you would’ve thought it was traditionally painted. It got an honorable mention, while the piece that was literally orange and blue paint streaks on a small canvas got first place (and there were a lot of other beautifully worked on pieces there that deserved first). According to the judge on the digital piece, “Now that I know it’s digital, it’s not as interesting.”
I’m going to Columbia College in Chicago this August, and they have a whole program of classes teaching students how to survive doing freelance. Columbia is pretty modern and the art from the students they promote is very stylized and sometimes anime-like. If any of you fellas want to go to a modern art school, come to Columbia 👀
I wanted to go there when I was still wanting to be an illustrator and animator, but it's so expensive and I heard it has some problems that made me just go to a regular college for business and art.
AJtheGritic oh they offer incredible scholarships and financial aid opportunities (i’m really quite poor lmao) so i got a full ride. $0 in tuition and fees for my first year. what problems did the school have?
Even though I don't have many artists in my family, one thing I'm super grateful is how much my family believes in me and my art. Whether it was traditional, digital, or anything else my family would always try to help me get whatever supplies I needed to continue art. I still have a long way to go, but I think I've gone so much farther because of my family. Thank you, family.
I feel like every artist is exposing art schools- I don't even know if I want to go to one anymore, isn't art supposed to be about you being yourself, not tied to a bunch of rules?... Then again, my opinions have made all of my art teachers to hate me-
Yeah, it's not the school that matters, but your own art and artistic journey, personality (how well you work with others bc job), and unique background (which is just your life and journey at how you got to where u are now)
From what I’ve heard from a couple of TH-camrs (mainly her tho) it sounds like it sucks. I think I’ll just go to an ordinary school and major there, rather than go to a school specifically for art.
Just really depends on what your goals are. There are certainly useful things you can learn, but you can also learn a lot of that stuff from online tutorials. Something else you may consider is finding an industry mentor and paying THEM instead of a school. I only went back to school because I decided I wanted to be a teacher (something that is talked down WAY too much) and you *by law at least in the USA* have to go to college and get a license for that.
you think that's bad? try using blender in a game/animation setting. teachers absolutely HATE it! (meanwhile: its free software that is keeping pace with/sometimes outpacing "standard" programs is used by indie game studios and a freaking feature film (next gen) has even been made in it in a studio that is dedicated to said program). if you can't tell i'm salty =p
I didn’t have my first real art class till my last year of high school. That teacher till my next two brought me down and almost made me quit doing art. Teach 1 “artist don’t use rulers, black paint and must use heads for measurements. Teach 2 “anime isn’t real art” Teach 3 “anatomy is everything, it much be done perfectly and my the style I teach you and use” teach 3 didn’t have the nerve to tell me to my face why he thought of my style and art, he wrote a letter. In summery it said I have little to no skill in art, that I need to give up and do something else...oh and that I’m a distraction to everyone and leave my friend so I don’t bring him down. I almost gave up on doing more art, my friend told me to take one more art class and I did and I meet the most amazing teacher. She told use that art isn’t a long learning the teachers style but for the teacher to help find our style and help it grow. That there’s a difference between talent and skill, that art is everywhere; you just have to know where and how to look for it. I don’t see how art teachers can say and do stuff that can essentially break a person and keep them from doing something they enjoy or want to do in life. Their here to teach us not break us down but it’s sad that they do the opposite. Sorry I wrote so much, this video hit me hard lol
Student: *draws anime*
Teachers: *peace was never an option*
Nowadays you can actually draw anime art, as long as you're able to also have a wide variety of art styles, it's pretty ok now.
It's better to not just stick with a style, you need to have a range, that's what people want in the animation or art industry.
(If you're going in seriously and not like a TH-cam job/freelancer.)
yeah, im in a club at school and my friend asked if she could draw anime for the newspaper and she said no lol
I might be wrong but seems like propaganda spread by Disney starting from cal arts.

My grandmother (an obvious very, VERY old school person) told me that I need to get off my phone and start drawing on paper, because digital art isn’t real art. I asked her about Disney, and that that wasn’t real art? She responded with “Well they started in paper.” -.-
My grandfather, a traditional artist, walked in and said “Oh please, if digital art isn’t real art, then neither is sculpting because that isn’t done on paper.” He then went to go get a Coke and my grandmother sighed and kept doing her Sudoku. I kept drawing.

I think that’s pretty smart. Considering most art schools lean towards more traditional art. Anime originates from Japan, it’s an art style and culture. It would be fun to learn.
I love how teachers say to copy an artist like Picasso’s painting and nothing is wrong but if I draw and anime character it’s immediately wrong and “ it’s not real are it’s just a copy “.
Yeah

I have a tip on how to NOT buy EXPENSIVE paints just to like appease the teachers:
Grab the used container of expressive paint that has ended or unusable wash that and then buy the mid tear and less expensive paint and put it on the recipient, it’s not like they are going to notice, you just have to find one that looks like expensive paint but you don’t need to buy the more expensive paint
Also discard the less expensive paint recipient before they see it

I have a funny (kinda) experience with art teachers:
My fifth grade art teacher was very very strict, and always wanted us to draw “perfect”. I’m not exactly the best in traditional art, although I’m waaay better at digital art (not on a level that I personally like, but still better) and I once mentioned that I do digital art in class and she went off “Oh, digital art? If you ask me (jokes on you, I didn’t ask) it’s not even real art.” Without giving any real reason. And since she was one of my favorite teachers, it totally discouraged me and I stopped doing art for about 2 years. My 7th grade teacher tho, was different. Yes, she was strict, but she wanted us to explore it on our own. She had certain standards but everyone was free to figure out the way they would meet these standards. After I have gotten back to digital art, I once asked her while cleaning the classroom what she thought about digital art. Her answer was “I personally think that digital art is an amazing form of art. It gives the artist more opportunities to explore, without being afraid that they wasted too much money in the medium. It’s complicated and complex in its own way, which makes it really unique! I don’t think it’s invalid just because it’s a screen” and this made me really happy!
I sawypur art and I'd love to share mine !!! I'll link my channel and upload speedpaint :) its rlly good
Ok im super happy that my art teacher in grade 6 was really chill and always let us explore on our own when it comes to art.
I'm the polar opposite of you. The reason I find digital art so fascinating is because I suck at it, and I'm trying to learn it, but I'm too used to paper art. I don't suck at the drawing itself anymore, but I just really suck at doing the digital coloring, but I don't have a printer at home to print out my digitally drawn sketches.

@@pixelg7047 that story wasn’t even that unbelievable, it is possible for that to happen, just asking, what about the story made you think it didn’t happen?
I remember in 6th grade we were making art for a competition. The theme was hopes and fears. I drew myself in a cave of failure trying to reach the end, which was the light of success. I drew in a cartoony style and my art teacher kept on coming over and would take the pencil from me, drawing my work in her own way, making it realistic, while giving me suggestions. Every time she left, I erased the work she had done and would do it again in my own way. She told me I was doing it wrong and I told her that it was MY work, and if I wanted it without details, I wouldn’t make details. She gave me a lower-than-usual grade but I didn’t care. As long as she kept her nose out of my style preferences, I was fine.
My kindergarten teacher would always be like in the Middle of art period : "you need to do this not that" and would erase somthing I did on it and draw somthing herself. And god pray for me if I erased it

my art teacher has us draw realistic quite often which she is amazing at if your having trouble she’ll make light lights to help you with shading and stuff only after asking permission though
aimalisapro123 In 6th grade an artist that did collages came in and told us to make a collage using magazine cutouts. I wasn’t that good at drawing and painting so I was excited to use my creativity in art for something I would be proud of. Anyway I used loads of dark cutouts and only like four lighter cutouts because I already had an idea of what I was gonna do. Every time that artist walked by me she would be like “Oh sweetheart, don’t you want something lighter, like the roses here?”. I would always say no thank you and she would turn up her nose and walk away. When I was up to the gluing stage, I had decide to make a beach with a huge cave with water in it. Out of magazine cutouts. It was looking really cool and realistic and the artist came over again and PEEELD OFF the already glued on pieces and rearranged it while saying “See, it’ll look better if you cover all theses dark pieces and move them under this.” I quietly told her what I was doing and she told me that it was a bad idea for a GIRlL to do and I should do a flower garden instead. So I nodded and did what I was going to do anyway

Thankfully I’ve had people who are like ‘ooh... your drawing is so good’. (Bless their pure souls, but I’m like a thousand miles from being good). Anyway, I think anyone who can draw even remotely good has been asked ‘can you draw me?’. Personally I appreciate that they think my art is that good, but it isn’t.
One day I drew a character and the face was that of someone who had been caught in the act and had a shadow in the middle of both eyes and my friends started saying "What is that ??" "Why does he have a nose between your eyes? " And it just annoyed me alot ( No one is going to read but *OK*)

I asked my future teachers how they got the idea to become a good and modern art school and they just shrugged and said "Manga and fanart sell"
And I love that 😁
Hi, so I'm a bit curious. What kinds of mediums did you use for your portfolio?
what art school?
Luckyyyyyyyy😣
Ok, yeh, my college does now accept anime/manga. But the only reason my portfolio was passed was because i used my own characters. My BNHA and Steven Universe fanart didn't do so well....
That’s really interesting! The main reason art teachers rejected anime/manga style art in the past was mainly because it didn’t sell at all in the west. Anime was considered a niche, underground market only a few decades ago, so it makes sense why art teachers would discourage western students from pursuing paths like those. However, now that anime/manga has become mainstream in the west, it’s now acceptable to use it at certain art schools considering how it actually has a market.
*awkwardly glances at cutthroat realism art school* ...well that’s the only art school near me ....fuck
I’m just over here waiting for the new generation of art school teachers to blossom.
My teacher teaches us to do pattern designs and poster designs rather than cartoon/anime/realistic 👁👄👁

Ok so the part about toxic paints is absolutely valid and true, but you left out that it is only a small number of *pigments* that do it, not colors. There isn't a specific shade of orange that can be toxic, but there is a specific orange pigment that can be toxic (usually cadmium). To be sure, look at the pigment identification number (ie PB28, or pigment blue 28, for a cobalt blue) not just the name. You also left out that this isn't just for acrylics, but for all types of paint. But an upside is that paint companies are starting to phase out using those toxic pigments in their paints. Now either having mixes/hues of that color, removing them from preselected sets, and/or making them more expensive to make people reconsider buying them. Ok that's the end of this massive PSA
Thank you, I feel like this is the same idea if I said drawing tablet give you radiation poisoning, she isn't aware of the stuff she's talking about when it comes to pigment cause she doesn't really use them
I have acrylics made from sunflower seeds that work fine, so that's good I guess
ScreamingBird thankfully they don’t have lead in most colors anymore. Just don’t chew your paint brushes
ScreamingBird I didn’t actually know this - I’ll be careful to look at my paints in more detail, thank you!
@SleepyLam some pigments are toxic but not specific colors. ie xyz brand paint named "Cobalt blue" may not actually have the pigment that makes Cobalt blue traditionally toxic
My Art teachers
Elementary: Art is everything and anything (She didn't like when people rushed and didn't like it when people did amazing on the drawing then just scribbled for the color)
Middle School: Art is everything from drawing, to music, and plays (liked effort and didn't like rushed work)
High school: Lets have some fun
Ture in the 1st one my elmerty the art teacher told us we should full in everything and we got a lot of peruses cause of it
Awwww! Thats nice.i dont have an art teacher in my middle school i think,but i think that thye wouldnt really care what we drew,as long as it was appropriate.

art teacher: DROP OUT SISTER
I had an art teacher in high school who thought like this for a while. She and I butted heads until she finally relented when presented with the logic of, "If I'm getting it done and what I'm doing is working, then what's the problem?"
Same about math teachers! I had a really hard time figuring out my teachers' way of doing math, and when I figured out my own way that was much easier for me (and a lot of my classmates) I got a 0 for using the wrong method even thiugh I got all the right answers. The teacher got chewed the fuck out for failing me when I should have gotten a 4 (100%)
Why do I feel like that's not only art teachers..? 🤔
FUDGIN MATH >:^[
I had this brutally honest art instructor during a workshop, one of my favorite guys ever. He sat us all down and said "I'm going to show you the work, I'm going to show you what and how, and I'm going to suggest the assignment, but I won't care if you don't turn it in, if you're unmotivated, that's on you, you're ultimately my future competition, and if you fail to do the work, that's one less person to worry about later"
I laughed so hard as the jaws of my fellow workshop students dropped. He also used to tell us all about the lies of the art academies, his favorite to bring up was connections. He would tell us, "you get connections by going out into the world, not hoping someone suggests you inside a campus"
Sounds like a cool teacher. Sounds honest but not in a “just mean but claims he’s ‘just being honest’” way, like in an actual “Look I’m not gonna hunt you down for missing assignments and realistically you gotta put yourself out there.”
Sounds like an awesome teacher

honnestly there is plenty of great free program out there to compensate adobe's money grab whatever it supposed to be
torrented cracked versions of the adobe CS6 suite exist and were the entire reason I was able to learn digital art because I didn't know about free programs, I found it on piratebay at 14 and it still exists and works now when I installed it on my new PC in January (I'm 22 now). It's like 3 steps, anything I didn't understand I usd google for.

My teacher would yell at me for being the slowest drawer. :/
I enjoy taking my time in art to make sure it’s the best that I can physically draw. (I once spent 7 hours drawing grass once)
It’s hard when art teachers complain about how quick or slow you are at drawing. Since I was the slowest drawer in my class.
So you're saying that your teacher complain about "slow people" even tought like you said for you it's just to make the best version of what your doing ... interesting
So about the "Adobe or else" section: My teachers in the Digital Media department absolutely HATE Adobe and Autodesk, and have been looking for any kind of software that can do the same job so they can make the switch. Cheaper is better, and if they find alternatives to subscription-based software, they'll teach us how to use that program instead. For 2D and 3D animation, they had us use Blender. For Post Production, they had us use DaVinci Resolve which can substitute for Audition, Premiere, AND After Effects. They didn't have substitutes for Photoshop and Illustrator, but I think the Affinity Suite might just replace it in the near future.
But also, my teachers were trend breakers who did freelance work, and sold 3D assets on online marketplaces, so they're not exactly the old fashion types.
Krita is really nice for digital drawing
The Affinity programs are really good!
The Affinity programs are great! And cheap! And you actually own the programs!
Use ibis paint x and flipaclip. They are free.
Perhaps suggest Krita or FireAlpaca to your teachers?

*well, not NEVER but perfect practice you big baby.
ALSO TRACING IS JUSTIFIABLE IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES
Wise words
Off topic but...
Do you play Genshin Impact
Well I think getting inspiration from other character (or anything else from someone else’s drawing) is fine but you do need to try and make your own characters or own backgrounds so you aren’t so dependent on other people’s work. I don’t mean this as ‘if you’re professional you shouldn’t use a reference’ but you will find it hard to make an original character if you copy other people’s characters.
*You should be born with art skills and get them from REAL PEOPLE and the art should be REALISTIC*

They did have some people that were like cool and there was a stairwell where everyone painted random stuff on it which was cool but oh yeah they were pretentious lol. Even super simple art was presented as super brilliant amazing expressive stuff.
I’m not an artist, but to me it always seemed like there were a lot of opportunities for an artist with all the platforms, like Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, TH-cam (where my history is just filled with Hamilton art animatics) WEBTOON, etc, so it was really surprising to me when you said there were only 2 paths given in college
Oh my gosh, the Adobe one hits so hard. I don't even go to an art specific school, just a community college with digital art classes. I told my instructor that I use CSP at home and she literally just laughed and said "no one uses CSP". Like really? I can name a few big time artists who use CSP. Jhonen fricken Vasquez uses CSP.
Joke on you teach, I pirated Adobe Illustrator for your class :P
Though the fan art thing is something my instructor encourages us to do. We had a project to make a t-shirt/poster design based on whatever TV show, movie, video game, etc we wanted. Our final project is literally fan art of whatever character we wanted to do.
I used the school computers at my community college, until quarantine. Even then I was constantly giving out other options than Adobe during legit Adobe classes like Photoshop and After Effects. XD
I have 3 different drawing programs that all work better than Adobe photoshop.
1 for sketching (Autodesk: Sketchbook )
2 for comic making, logos, and other projects requiring clean line art (FireAlpaca)
3 for animation, and paints (Krita)
I also found VSDC for a Premier replacement.
Best part?
They are all FREE and work AMAZING.
Everyone at this point pirates any adobe software. Its almost a rite of passage. It’s unreal what they ask for and they can’t bother to make a tutorial or a user interface that’s easy to remember as well as pick up and on top of that, it requires a subscription? Fuck that noise.
Isnt CSP becoming the main software in japan by animation studios tho?

@@CosmicGaijin Yes, I too have pirated after effects and photoshop for varies things. It's sad when Adobe charges more than a World of Warcraft subscription. Both are shitty, hell, and have sucked dry the wallets of thousands, but at least WoW makes an effort to show you how to do stuff.
Art teachers: Anime isn't art because they dont study anatomy.
Me: *_Looks at Picasso_*
but all artists *do* study human anatomy before they start to develop their own art style?? like if you look at picasso's earlier works they're more realistic and not as abstract. anime is just an art style, like wtf is wrong with art teachers
Their viewpoint is problematic in the way it is presented, but you should consider learning the rules first if you want to break them.
Stylised art is good, but you should also know the basics and the rules in order to warp them.
Not learning the fundamentals can stagnate your growth as an artist.
The fundamentals are there to teach you methods on how to tackle your art, not just waste your time.
You need to be able to warp it in a way that is still aesthetically pleasing, or just easier for you to do because you know the techniques that you can apply.
Anime characters’ bodies are the most realistic and anatomically correct out of any cartoon style :/ why are art teachers like thissss
@@GayLuigi333 Some times they're correct but it depends on the artist.
As far as I know, all manga artists actually have to go through school studying anatomy and all that before they can even start writing manga, so some realism is present.

Honestly it’s crazy how in art school I’ve had professors be like “cartoon/comic book/anime art bad!” Especially compared to the art that they praise half the time. At least in my experience
Especially since nowadays a lot of people go to art school in the first place is bc they wanna make cartoons and animation for a living
Yeah sad tbh. I see so many people saying in these comments staying you have to follow the rules to break them. That’s suck a load of shit. I’ve worked so hard over the past few years to be a self taught artist without doing traditional art. You don’t have to follow the rules to break them just make your own damn rules.
Art schools want their students to use their emotions and expressions like they are all misunderstood edgy emo kids from the movies who splash on paint and create masterpiece. Critics adore standing in front of an art work for 2 hours and understand nothing of it, than seeing a good figure drawing in a superhero costume. It will always be annoying to me, because I prefer comic-book art style to anything else and some bitches really gonna stop in front of it and say it's not worth a dime, when I've worked my whole life to reach that level of accuracy, but will stop next to a naked gal in weird position and be like "THIS IS ART."
@@plants-xo7ug the people who were known for rule breaking in any art form more often than not weren't even doing it consciously (ie."...there were rules??"), whenever they developed their fundamentals or encountered such things it was put into practice along with their personal stylization. Not by doing it by a prescribed order, because the two feed each other.
@@plants-xo7ug That's really cool! Although I think they mostly mean learning anatomy and color theory and all that kinda stuff, cuz digital art needs that too. With anatomy, you can make cartoon art look good w/o anatomy practice, but from personal experience, my art looks a lot better once I do learn anatomy basics

See that’s the thing: when people and organizations _say_ “fanart is bad” they usually always _mean_ “stylized art is bad.” I’ve also seen people go “Oh, but they mean ACTUAL bad art!” Like... but they don’t. They mean any art style they just happen to dislike. People have used anime with bad anatomy as examples but like, if the goal of art school is to get a job, who fucking cares if it looks bad if it clearly _does_ make money, proven by their own examples. If you really want people to get better, use positive feedback, constructive criticism, and specific assignments. Not “Your art is bad because I don’t like it.” That’s just tearing students down.
DeathnoteBB idk people saying stylized art is pretty bullshitty ngl. I think it’s boring just sticking to realism, gotta be creative.

I guess this goes for pure art schools cause in my Uni, the art department was sorta "meh" on fanart and anime, mostly bc the art curriculum pushes for modernism and design and not really for pure fine art. In fact, alot of drawing teachers at my school respected anime and never outright hated anime or comics or cartoons. They mentioned, however, that there should be a focus on fundamentals and building a strong foundation.
Edit: there WAS this old fogey fine art painter teacher who talked about how the school didn't go for rennaissance style art when it comes to practice and preferred Modern Art(tm)
oH my god, the expensive paints one got on my nerves! One of my professors literally said we had to get 7-10 specific brand paints and what she said about it was literally "oh dont worry, its only 95$ for a bundle" I didn't say anything much to her besides i literally only make minimum wage and that is _not_ a small fee, and i only ended up using 1/4th of the 60ml tubes
I used to just do any painting assignments with cheap $1 acrylics. And when I’d present my piece that was done and ready, all the other students had barely been able to put on their 2nd layer because they were using oil paints because that’s apparently the only way to paint according to my old teacher.

ItzBlu That’s great! Major props to your teacher, they have the right perception of art. :)
Yees! My middle school art teacher was such a doll and she was so supportive. She loved my works and encouraged me to try new things and gave me so much advice. While she only taught realism, she always encouraged us to apply certain factors to our styles to make them nicer, which has helped me so much in making my art nicer looking. If I can track her down next year, I'll make sure to thank her for everything she's done!
The paint one surprised me. My professor wore gloves while he painted and we used mineral spirits instead of turpentine, specifically because of the chemical danger. We spent a decent amount of time talking about materials and the benefits and drawbacks between price and quality.
It all depends on the teacher. That is almost 100% the case.
Its also the case that education in general, in America, has become extremely lazy and complacent - especially colleges.

I'm a self taught artist and my art teacher in high school really hated digital art, as a digital artist it really discouraged me. Especially since most of our assignments were for sketch books. I do get being traditional and all but there were kids who blatantly traced art or even stole art from other students, it was so bad that I had to hide my sketch book.
And this art class is supposed to be for advanced only students but we had to do stuff the beginning class had to do, like how are supposed to advance our skills if we keep doing the beginner class stuff?
I've never picked up a Wacom or drawing tablet, I've never used the PC for coloring, I've never been good at doing Graphic Design or anything Art-wise digitally, but I respect those whose brains are "wired" to pick up "digital art" more naturally than me, the end result of that artwork blows my mind and I respect that finished product, but NEVER will I respect the idea of relying on non-traditional methods that don't start with mechanical pencil and paper and whatever coloring medium y'all choose!
I'm content in the Traditional method of creating art because I'm in my comfort zone, and I keep learning the traditional way, because in the end, clients still want the physical feeling of paper, but not just paper, the feeling of the medium used on that paper, and that REAL EFFORT and Love went into actually drawing, coloring and getting one's hands dirty to create it!
You CANNOT replace that with digital art or Graphic Design, which is why I'm proud to be a Traditional illustration artist!

College art professor: *who is a giant weeb* You drew my fav anime character, and you used all this cool art stuff to get the composition you wanted. You get an A
Cringe
Ker Shal okay.
I wish
Honestly my college professors have been huge nerds! I complemented one of my teacher’s Tri-gun shirts and we talked about the anime for 20 minutes of class
Well it's cool if ur professor is a weeb like me
This was super helpful! coincidentally, ive been hearing a lot recently about how art schools can misguide you and these exact lies can get into your head. So hearing this from someone who has experienced art school, and what isn’t false information, really helped me see the bigger picture :)
art teachers: anime, manga, fanart, anthro art, and any digital art in gneral istn REAL ART
*digital artists spending time and effort on all their work*
-_- ... Well gee thanks
OMG THANKS FOR THE LIKES - I have never gotten this many wow
As a digital artist, I can confirm that I have gotten a lot of hate and people who misunderstand digital art. I dislike them. I don't hate them. I wish people would try to understand something before saying "iT'S noT rEal."
My school isn’t an art school, but the degree I’m in is apart of the art department there, so we hold student show cases for the art students. This guy created a large digital piece, completely realism. From afar you would’ve thought it was traditionally painted. It got an honorable mention, while the piece that was literally orange and blue paint streaks on a small canvas got first place (and there were a lot of other beautifully worked on pieces there that deserved first). According to the judge on the digital piece, “Now that I know it’s digital, it’s not as interesting.”
Markuss 2.O, that’s so sad. I hope he got more recognition!
Me: /looks at animators who makes hit cartoons and anime that has a lot of expensive digital equipment/ you sure about that?
@@markuss2.o473 thats just BS now (judge probably too biased)
no one:
Literally no one:

I’m going to Columbia College in Chicago this August, and they have a whole program of classes teaching students how to survive doing freelance.
Columbia is pretty modern and the art from the students they promote is very stylized and sometimes anime-like.
If any of you fellas want to go to a modern art school, come to Columbia 👀
Thanks, Now i know where exist good art schools
I wanted to go there when I was still wanting to be an illustrator and animator, but it's so expensive and I heard it has some problems that made me just go to a regular college for business and art.
AJtheGritic oh they offer incredible scholarships and financial aid opportunities (i’m really quite poor lmao) so i got a full ride. $0 in tuition and fees for my first year. what problems did the school have?
Mason Heitner do they have any online classes for students in other states?
Mason Heitner damn wish i knew about this college before i committed :”)
Even though I don't have many artists in my family, one thing I'm super grateful is how much my family believes in me and my art. Whether it was traditional, digital, or anything else my family would always try to help me get whatever supplies I needed to continue art. I still have a long way to go, but I think I've gone so much farther because of my family.
Thank you, family.
I feel like every artist is exposing art schools-
I don't even know if I want to go to one anymore, isn't art supposed to be about you being yourself, not tied to a bunch of rules?...
Then again, my opinions have made all of my art teachers to hate me-
Yeah, it's not the school that matters, but your own art and artistic journey, personality (how well you work with others bc job), and unique background (which is just your life and journey at how you got to where u are now)
Art school sucks man...
From what I’ve heard from a couple of TH-camrs (mainly her tho) it sounds like it sucks. I think I’ll just go to an ordinary school and major there, rather than go to a school specifically for art.
@@exmachina8475 That's what I'm doing for my BFA this fall.
Just really depends on what your goals are. There are certainly useful things you can learn, but you can also learn a lot of that stuff from online tutorials. Something else you may consider is finding an industry mentor and paying THEM instead of a school. I only went back to school because I decided I wanted to be a teacher (something that is talked down WAY too much) and you *by law at least in the USA* have to go to college and get a license for that.
"i dont think it is far to make your students buy paint that is *toxic*"
me: hello yes *I'M SUEING*
LavenderTowne: Schools say ADOBE OR ELSE
Me: *Vibing with FlipaClip and procreate for 15 dollars* Shit.
I mean, it's pretty noice to use those.
Adobe these days are $10 a month on computer
Hah, I've been vibing with MS Paint and Ibis for several years
you think that's bad? try using blender in a game/animation setting. teachers absolutely HATE it! (meanwhile: its free software that is keeping pace with/sometimes outpacing "standard" programs is used by indie game studios and a freaking feature film (next gen) has even been made in it in a studio that is dedicated to said program). if you can't tell i'm salty =p
@@JennJurassic Try using TinkerCad instead of 3DsMax and having your teacher get mad at you for it
Fanart is how I found my Love of Drawing.
Fanart is why I tried to improve and I did.
Fanart is what inspires me.
Fanart is valid, ART SCHOOL!
I didn’t have my first real art class till my last year of high school. That teacher till my next two brought me down and almost made me quit doing art. Teach 1 “artist don’t use rulers, black paint and must use heads for measurements.
Teach 2 “anime isn’t real art”
Teach 3 “anatomy is everything, it much be done perfectly and my the style I teach you and use” teach 3 didn’t have the nerve to tell me to my face why he thought of my style and art, he wrote a letter. In summery it said I have little to no skill in art, that I need to give up and do something else...oh and that I’m a distraction to everyone and leave my friend so I don’t bring him down. I almost gave up on doing more art, my friend told me to take one more art class and I did and I meet the most amazing teacher. She told use that art isn’t a long learning the teachers style but for the teacher to help find our style and help it grow. That there’s a difference between talent and skill, that art is everywhere; you just have to know where and how to look for it. I don’t see how art teachers can say and do stuff that can essentially break a person and keep them from doing something they enjoy or want to do in life. Their here to teach us not break us down but it’s sad that they do the opposite. Sorry I wrote so much, this video hit me hard lol
Think that one teacher was just to jealous of your art ngl.
