It is a simple side view with no background no shadowing no expression - pretty basic.

Now if it looked like this I would call it great:

Ohh, that's nice. I predict big things in the future for that artist.

OP, since your first piece can't compare to Frazetta, you'll learn nothing from school. Go fudge your dreams.

ok you've made your point now settle down.

[MR SigS]

Fair points

 

I didn't see this post. If I had, I probably would have just posted one at the Frazetta comparison, and left it at that.

 

Best of luck to you in whatever path you choose, Mercurious. I hope you're able to stick with it and achieve exactly what you want. Or at the very least, I hope you enjoy the ride.

An interesting quote from Frazetta on wiki, he does mention he didn't learn much from his teacher at the Brooklyn academy of fine arts, however he also says:

 

"He kind of left you on your own. I learned more from my friends there"

 

So one can assume the experience was still a benefit to him.

Part of the experience is that being in an environment helps develop your skills. Maybe Frazetta didn't learn much from the teacher, but he "learned more from my friends there."

Wonder if any of those friend attendees went on to starving artist status

I attribute much of my success in my life to mentors and my family who happily encouraged my pursuits. And now, I pass along that same support to younger people.

 

It's a beautiful life!!!

better to regret having taking a chance and failed than regret never taking a chance

Agreed. Mostly. I guess.

 

OP needs to report back in a decade.

Frazetta's drawing partner, Angelo Torres, went on to a multi-decade career at Mad Magazine among other realms. His other school friends included Bernie Krigstein, Joe Orlando and Wally Wood.

All of them...bums

But.

But, they went to art school.......... They should have failed.

Someone made the point of the people you go to school with

 

That's a big part. While in traditional schools networking is a big thing, I would imagine in the creative industry a big part of going to school is learning not just from the teachers but from your peers
