and btw I faved this to is very beatiful love how you did it ahaha I suck at backgrounds -.-
Keep up the good work!
Lol sorry for getting all serious with ya XD
I understand what you mean by being scared to loose your original style. I felt like that right before coming to college. But after doing some experimenting, I did notice that my style had changed (though it was a little on purpose since anime style is discouraged here),but as it was changing I noticed that some things stayed or started to be more prominent in my art. And those became my trademarks. Usually they are strong collar bones, straight lines whenever it's possible, and organic lines. It took me a year and a half of experimenting before I noticed these things that defined my style.
So really, I don't think I can encourage experimenting enough. There isn't much to loose and if you don't like something you fried or if it really didn't work out, then you can at least say you've tried and discovered that it wasn't your thing
...wow this turned out into quite a long reply xD
Yeah, you do have a good point. Lol, no worries...I'm a sucker for long replies...just shows it's a healthy discussion =O
As long as they don't force you to give up your specific style, it's all good with me...I was thinking NBCC...have you heard anything good about that one per chance? It's just down the street so I'm just a little curious.
Their Media Studies/art fundamentals/whatever they call it now program is really good to get you started. From there you have all the necessary skills to branch off pretty much in any art field you want. I really enjoyed it since you start off following strict directive but by the end of the year the teachers give you their requirements and you're free to basically do whatever you want.
Right now I'm finishing up my first year of animation and even though it was a hard year, it was very rewarding
So if you have the time and motivation, the courses here are really good. Without that, then it gets hard.
