Wow, Thx my friend!
Your words were both encouraging and helpful <3
Thx for the help my friend, Iāll keep learning more at the time being, since i clearly have to cover alot more to form a general view on the whole thing
the thing about traveling abroad is the difference in the educational system, here im bounded to whatever college my grades got me, but out there i only need the admission test, but of course its way harder and more expensive

Also keep in mind that the actual reason you go to art school is to become as good as humanly possible within a short period of time and eventually be able start producing interesting work that might have professional potential.
Which is the final point that counts not how you get there. As for example if you say to me that you are interested to go the most presticious art school. And then do only 1 exercise just to pass the class it means that you skip training while if on your own you spend 10-16 daily doing the same thing again and again you eventually tend to have superior results than the other way.
You can get to an art school at any given moment in your life (eg: 25, 30, 40, ???) but you learn only once. Once you learn something is done. You move to the next thing.

IMHO Art colleges are a waste of money. Iām so glad I didnāt attend one and went the self taught route, started with VHS tutorials and Youtube just made life so much easier.
If you have money to burn, sure go to a Art College, student debt is not worth it otherwise. I chatted with a girl who got a degree from Art Institute in California, she was 20K in student debt and couldnāt land a job in the game industry. Art College wonāt make you better artist, thatās something you need to build over time, some people are just better at art naturally and discipline is something you need, but you can learn that on your own time at your own pace.

Maybe if you study in the US and in a presstigious school, but in Spain that didnāt happen to meā¦ Granted I didnāt went to study to Madrid or Barcelona, but even then, I think there is the same. I study graphic design (EASD title) and all I had to do was a exam of drawing and a text commentary.
Passing an exam is the same concept I reffering to.
You have to show some ability. And this requirement is only going to change based on the type of school, not necessarily where it is.
A lot of countries universities are not as expensive as the USAs and student debt is not really a thing there.
I think the best advise I can give here is that you become an āexpertā first, on your own. In other words. If you know enough about the subject you can better evaluate your school options and the value you expect to get from it.
Get as far as you can go on your own. And get to a place where you know what questions to ask and how to evaluate if the school will be the right choice for you. Also you may have to show your work to get in.

Im still learning on my own, but its pretty hard considering most āgoodā online stuff are not free, and pretty expensive where i live

Exactly what i was thinking, Self-work is as important, if not more important than actual education.

3D is a vast industry, which aspect are you interested in learning/working for? Alot of stuff on youtube is very good and its free. You just have to take the time to apply it and expand upon it, thatās where the discipline comes in.
Iām learning Blender mostly through Youtube. I do have some paid tutorials but they are not needed, alot of it is already covered on Youtube.
