Self Taught or Schooled?

1/14/08 -Self Taught or Schooled?-

     Just curious how many fellow artists here are either of the "self taught" breed, or were schooled...or maybe a little of both. I know the learning never stops, but just wanted to get an idea of what people's backgrounds are with this stuff.

     Hey...Don't forget the latest drawing contest and a chance to win prizes! Here's the link for the rules:[link]

Self-Taught. I was in School, but they did no good job in showing me how i must draw. Just what i can do.

whimsical is the word.
Self-taught! I went to school as well, but I only really learned how to use software as an "art enhancer." :)
both, school can only teach you so much, you have to want to learn more and get better, go the extra mile at some point.

style should be an artist signature

school classes have helped me on some stuff such as coloring, but as far as drawing style and what I draw go, I'm all self-taught. specifically, from watching too many cartoons. :D

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.
Kinda self taught - get a lot of help from books and observation and of course practice :D

I'm sort of self-taught and sort of schooled...

It's a long, sad and frustrating story... but who cares. Neither you not anyone would give a damn about it.
Imma self-taught guy. Started at the age of four and just went on from there. I remember exactly what my first drawing was. It was the profile of a truck my dad drove and it all came together from there. I tried to learn from classes but the only thing that I really learned was that you have to do the work for yourself, there's no real magic answer...

Why is it that closed minds lead to open mouths?

"I love being crazy, it's like being insane but you're self-aware enough to appreciate it." -Turayl
Self taught :B Which is bad in some ways, since I don't know how well I'm going to be able to learn like perspective on my own, but good in others...
I went to an art school for almost a year, but I started working very soon, so I left it. Didnt have enough time. So what am I?self taught? schooled?aaarggh!!

Self-taught. I'm still considering school, but can't justify it at the moment.
