I feel like when I went to school 10 years ago it was important. But online classes and tutorials available online today could definitely be an option for many!
Yes indeed but, would they help if you want to get in the industry as an international individual?
I know she mentioned a video where she explains this in detail but that's about Degrees and higher education which helps with the VISA right
@@christopher8869 yeah, if I remember right from the other video, it's that you need a degree in art in order to get a visa for an art job in the US. I could be remembering wrong though.
I'm actually a nurse with an associate's degree, been following you for years and just began schoolism classes! Just started on my portfolio, hope to get in to the animation industry at some point💚 can't even tell you how inspiring you've been
Hey, thank you for this,
I just need some information regarding Victoria yang course is schoolism animation courses are really worth to buy??
Hi, would you recommend schoolism after taking one of their classes? I am having a hard time deciding which course and school to choose. Would appreciate your input.
Ur artwork is amazing. Just subed
Laura’s Squarespace promo is literally saving lives 🙌🏻
Thank you for this. Becoming an artist for animation would be a dream come true. I appreciate the time you took to explain some cheaper alternatives. Thank you Laura!
lol im pre-med but I like watching Laura's videos because shes so informative
I love this, thank you 😂
I’m so sorry this is kind of a stupid question- but I’ve been seeing a lot of talk online about how the pandemic has affected the animation industry. Things like whether working conditions will return to normal post covid (requiring artist to come into studio everyday), or if animation has proven to be something that can be done remotely. Do you ever plan on making a video about something like this? I think a lot of people (including myself) would be very interested in what a professional like you has to say!
(Also this is just an idea from a fan, if you already have videos planned out I completely understand. I always love your work and I find your posts very helpful and informative!!)
Haven't finished watching, but I am finding it really helpful. Thank you Laura
I think it's important to continue to learn even after you get your bfa, to keep yourself fresh and to get a perspective from other artists in the industry. these are all great options!!!!!
Thank you, your advice videos are always so helpful
Do you think you could do more videos on the difference between schools, degrees, and stuff like that? Your videos inspired me to go for Graphic Design and Animation and help a lot of people I think.
I didn't go to art school, so I don't know much about the schools or degrees!
@@lulusketches Oh! Well all the things you tell us are super helpful and I love the content you do have!
@@ggoodd32503 she also did a video a little while ago comparing different art schools/education
@@kayles3745 Oh! I had only been able to find the ones about the pipeline. Thanks!
I could not listen. Your shirt colors just hypnotized me! :)
Laura this is so helpful! Thank you so much!! I’m going to be having a conversation with my parents soon about switching from art school to online art classes, so this will be really helpful for that.
Hi Laura, thanks for all you advice over the years. You previously covered art schools and this video covers what I’d call “a la carte schools” where you can get a class at a time, usually online. You’ve noted you went to UVA and since then there are a bunch of junior college and university programs in the U.S. focused on animation and entertainment art. It might be too much to cover but I’d love to hear what you think of them or at least which ones that are notable and how they are regarded in the industry. Thanks again!
Im in CDA right now taking analytical figure drawing and I love it!
I get so excited when i see you posted ahhhhhhhh!!!
Thank you for this wonderful information Laura. I want to get into visual development but have been struggling to find cheaper and legitimate alternatives to art school.
Class101 has a lot of great art classes for about 100-250 dollars. They're taught by industry pros from around the world. For instance, I took a watercolor painting course by a South Korean background painter who works primarily in animation and I'm currently taking a character design course by Arucelli, who designs characters for AAA videogames.
whats class101 exactly
Thank you sm, Laura! I hope I get to be in the animation world in the near future 💖
Thank you so much for this video Laura! I knew about some of these like schoolism, CDA, brainstorm, domestika, and warrior art camp but didn’t know about the rest!
I wish more artists would mention a couple of California Community Colleges! Santa Monica Community college and Fullerton College are both fantastic options. Cost is $46/unit or FREE if you are a California resident. As for university options; SJSU, CSU Northridge, CSU Longbeach, CSU Fullerton are all state schools with animation programs as well. Look at the student work and look at the teachers portfolios to help you choose the school you want to attend.
do those schools offer courses in visual development and digital painting?
@@lulusketches Yes! Fullerton college has three ex-animation industry folks leading their Digital Arts program. Phil Dimitriadis (Big Idea, 8 crazy nights, etc), Frank Guthrie (worked at Nickelodeon), Mike Sheehan (Disney Imagineer) all three professors have youtube channels of their class recordings you can find them by searching their names. There are several digital painting classes and they have a lab full of cintiqs on campus. art.fullcoll.edu/prog_courses.php#filter=.df_37 I found out about Fullerton college via Proko's podcast because Marshall Vandruff teaches there as well. The goal of the program is to offer a top class education at a fraction of the price. Thanks to the California Promise Grant (2 years free for California residents).
As for Santa Monica Community college, I could never get into ANY of their classes because it would all fill up super fast. They have life drawing for animators, career development course and way more. These are two great schools that attract CSU graduates who were not able to get all of the skills they needed without going broke.
Also just want to add that they want to expand their online presence since their program is the only one that increased in enrollment during the pandemic. I'm taking classes while living in the bay area :).
@@foreversunseekers awesome! thank you for the info!!
Laura you always have the best advice! Your videos inspired me to take my art more seriously and now I’m working at Disney TVA as a Location Designer ☺️💕
congratulations!! so glad I could help!
omgg really congrats how did u do itt
Just for a reference would u mind saying if u went to art school or not I am still trying to find out if I should go 😅
I’m actually starting my degree here in Mexico next month! (For the visa yknow) so I’m very interested in these resources to get me industry ready :’)
Yo cuppaint? Like from QSSA? :0
I'm Newt lmao!
@@pxssm LMAO I JUST SAW TJIS yes same cuppaint!! P sure there’s no other. Or at least that I’ve seen
They look interesting! I am currently taking courses at New Masters academy, they have a subscription based models and although they only teach classical drawing, it has really helped!
Thank you Laura for these videos!!! Your videos make me so much more confident in entering the field coming from a student whose at a regular university. Keep up the great work
Epic shirt! Thanks for the recs! I just did 2 courses on Domestika and they were awesome. Might do that Spiderverse one next, hmm.. Pretty jealous of people today with these alternatives instead of forking over for art school lol! Definitely agree it's only portfolio that gets looked at unless you're moving abroad.
Thanks again!
Thanks for all of the advice you provide in your videos. Also, that shirt is amaaaaaazing!
YESSS YOU ARE THE BESTTT
YOU ARE!
Love your channel! This is so helpful! My son is still in high school but wants to be an illustrator will definitely check these places out 🤗
Ps I love your shirt! 😍👌🏼
I’ve always wanted to be able to draw or just create art in general, but I almost feel like I have no creativity because I can never just come up with something from my head I always just have to draw from a model and my work looks like it was from my 1 year old son, maybe one day I’ll get there ! Lol
Just what I need to hear today. Thank you!!
MOOOOOOOOOM
omg this days i've wondering, as an international, what degree i need it and then this pop up omg thanks
Yay
I took the vis dev and art direction mentorship at cgma a few months ago and it was amazing!
Great list thank you very much for the help.
Also I could add The Gnommon Workshop as it’s great especially for CGI artists.
Thank you for sharing these resources!!
Thank you because IDK if I should go to school or not…..
When you rhyme something and feel like a freaking boss ahahaa thats the proudest look ive ever seen on your face ahahaha
art school isn't for everyone cuz it do be acting very expensive. I go to art school and it's very helpful but I still get the most knowledge from online classes lol. I'm not sure exactly what I want to go for so I'm willing to learn and try out every class available to me.
Hi Laura! Just wanted to say a huge thank you for this amazing and very valuable information! I literally need this right now! 💙 Cheers from Spain!
hi laura! i thought of an idea for a speed paint… you should do another family portrait!
Thks for the video . It's really helpful cos I didn't want to go art school cos it's expensive
Another online school for animation that people often compare with Animation Mentor is called Anim school 🏫 one of my 3D teachers told me about it and I honestly want to do both
A small note: for Domestika, most of the courses that I've looked at are in Spanish, with English subtitles. If you are fluent in Spanish or don't mind reading subtitles, then that's a non-issue, of course. There are a few courses in English too, like the one that is linked to above.
I started to watch your vedios recently . it is very inspiring ✨✨ I really respect your guideline 🙏🙏
Currently ,I’m a student in Artcenter , I totally argued what you said , If you take three term in ACCD, which tuition up to 69000. Suuuuuper expensive, that’s why the school full of super rich Asian student …
So cool I didn't know about several of these
Hi Laura, I love watching your video's,❤️❤️❤️
I have completed my bachelor's degree and love doing character design and I wanted to improve in that .Online courses are great but being an international applicant I really wish there was a school or university that offers just character design or any other particular course and does not teach things that we don't want to learn .
like ' Better alternative art schools' that would save you some money 🥺🥺
This video came up in time when needed it the most
Actually I have a story and concept which I wish to turn it to a game someday . I am a developer and have knowledge of Unity and Blender but I am not very skilled at art so please make a playlist for beginners to advanced so that we can quickly get into putting our thoughts into the art form.
Great video! Can you tell me where you got your top? It's so cute!
Thanks so much for this video! It is so helpful! Do you happen to know of any courses available in the NYC area?
Thank you much I so open to this
Thank you so much!
So I currently go to school at full sail university for computer animation and it’s like no one ever mentions it. I’m starting to doubt if it’s any good.
very cool shirt
What do you think about creatureartteacher.com by Aaron Blaise?
I was wondering the same
I have taken some of his courses and they are absolutely fantastic!!!
@@keyframesdaggers7023 me too. I was a little shocked that his courses did not make the list. But glad that a lot of people found out this great artist.
Me too, I love them
Kudos to the shirt artist.
Can you please make daily lessons and exercises for digital art with minimal setup. Things like basic drawing techniques, choosing colors for shading, scenery and background , proportions and scale of objects in art, choosing colors for shading. Basically I am asking you to create a virtual college for me ....🙂 🙃🙂 🙃🙂 🙃🙂 🙃🙂 🙃 ...I know it sounds crazy but I could find a dialy dose which will keep be engaged and assign work with some training. Also not to be intruding but I have a compliment....Not just your art but you look gorgeous too.
I would love to go into animation, either character design or story boarding. Any background emphasis on something specific I should focus on?!?
There's a huge need for story board artists...which means you will make more or have a better chance of getting a good job.
OMG THANK YOUUU! I’m a student trying to get as many opportunities for visual development learning as I can and this helped soo much! 😁
another great video, laura! :)
Thank you so much for your great vids
Would you say these are more for college level? Or could a high schooler take these?
Were you the one doing all the backgrounds in steven universe?
Hello! Anyone knows, for internationals, if "no need for bfa" means that a bachelor's degree is enough eventough its not art related? Or is there a system in usa which differs ba in art and bfa?
I recommend proko it has so many useful art courses
Hi Laura!! I’m interested in learning more about character animation but I don’t have the technical background or training. As a first step, do you recommend taking a class? What was your first step when you started animating in 2014? x
I've never been an animator or taken an animation class!
what does really visual development animators do
laura can make a video for internationals please im not living in usa or canada etc and its hard for me it seem and i dont know how to make it out there so please help 😭😭 because these are for usa citizens mostly so HELP please
and rn cant afford those classes and schools as u mentioned bcz of the currency for me costs a lot so idk what to do exactly please help
these are not mostly for US citizens, these are almost all online courses for everyone!
Nice Recommendations!
I found myself Art School for digital Artists from Marc Brunet which is very affordable and you can get all terms and do it in your own pace and how it works for you.
I would love for you to take a look and that and your opinion on that!
Can someone answer this pls, do u need mathematics?? Is it important to know it and pass the exam to be doing anything art related like animation
animation mentor? the rookies?
Where’s Mable and your usual “outro” music?
I LOVE you shirt!! Can I ask where did you get it? It's fabulous!
thank you!! it's from anthropologie! I went to get you a link but apparently it's sold out 😭 they have a lot of other colorful buttonups though!
Hi, thanks for the advice....what do you think about the school CGspectrum online?...it could be' a good alternative?
Does anyone knows about domestika background painting course from Susan Yung, Do i need drawing skills for this course?
I joined arena animation
I just got accepted to CalState LA for animation (because my gpa was too low for Fullerton as an example) and now im seeing this.....WHAT DO I DOOOO???
Sorry this is long but definitely try to apply again to Fullerton, CSULB, or San Jose state. Tuition is not as expensive as art schools and the programs for animation/illustration are solid. I was a student at csula for a semester but the animation program is just so terrible that I ended up transferring to Fullerton. The only thing is that you need a strong portfolio for these schools in order to enter to the animation programs, they're competitive but you'll learn from professors that worked in Disney and know all about the industry.
I bought a class from Udemy. It didn’t offer much feedback.
Not me, a sophomore at Ringling...
BESTIE WHERE DID YOU GET THAT TOP I LOVE IT
anthropologie!!
Heyy Laura!!! I will be starting 11th grade next year and I want to pursue a career in Graphical designing or Animation, After my 12th I will be gng for Ba or Bfa but am really confused on which Stream i should pick for my 11th and 12th..which stream would you suggest me to go for??
I didn't go to college (or university, as they call it here). Immediately after my "high school", I enrolled in animschool. Maybe I was lucky but I managed to get an animation job with my reel so it is possible. The only thing I'm worried about is going overseas since I don't have a degree and I'm not in Canada or US so it might be hard to obtain a working visa. Haven't tried it yet though
That's my biggest fear. Because you can have the skills but you located in a different country without a degree. So I guess its a problem to not have it, as it seems like you will need it to apply for a VISA
My question is what if an international studio wants you but you don't have the VISA and degree
@@christopher8869 US animation studios will sponsor your VISA if they want you to work for them, but you have to qualify for it with the degree
@@lulusketches I'm still a little confused. How are they going to sponsor what you don't have. Bc you saying you still have to qualify for the VISA right.
Or is it the other way around, like do you get a sponsored VISA through the studio or something like that and then maybe you can enrol in a college while working for the studio 🤔
@@christopher8869 can u please tell me when u got the answer
how did u do exactly because i am like u and im trying but i dont know what to do rn and dollar&euros cost so much here and i cant afford the classes or online schools as she mentioned so help
Are you going to be speaking at the Lightbox Expo online this year?
not this year! since it's virtual it's already what I do (make videos on youtube) so I'll just keep putting up youtube videos instead, but I once Lightbox Expo is back in person I'll be there!
@@lulusketches Completely understand, we love your videos! ☺️
umm can i ask a question .......... bcz i m an indian and i wanted to be an artist like u and i know that in this life i m not going in any of the art schools and not gonna have art degree of mine so is this still possible to work in industry as an international artist without any degree?
love your shirt! where did you get it?
thank you! Anthropologie!
Love your shirt! Top?
Can I kindly ask Laura
and everyone that reads this
if Animschool is legit?
If so, would you recommend it?
Loved the video! Quick question. For going into 3D character animation at say Walt Disney Animation Studios or Pixar Animation Studios would a masters degree at my local state collage and all 6 Character animation courses on Animation mentor be enough to be “equivalent” to a bachelors?
by 'state college' do you mean you're a US citizen? you don't need a degree to be an animator if you're a citizen, just a great reel. it usually lists 'BA or equivalent experience' as a requirement, but many of the artists and animators I know in the industry didn't finish college
@@lulusketches yes I meant I’m a citizen lol and thanks for clearing that up for me 😁 I assume it’s still recommended I have some sort of degree in the field. Right now I’m about to go to a career center for interactive media and design for 2 years which would finish high school and get my foot in the door. I’m just trying to get as much experience as I can to stand out when I apply to a studio 😂😂
So if i’m international and want to work in the US, im gonna need an art related bachelor degree 😢 ahh damn
Any pointers on Animschool? They claim to have certified courses. So between Animschool and animation mentor, which one is preferred in America?
Also as an international applicant, if I take courses from Animschool, which is certified, do I have a chance to work in the United States or do we need a traditional degree? I'm a little confused, so asking. Thanks in advance!🙏
I've never heard of Animschool, sorry I can't help you! and it depends if it offers a Bachelor's degree!
@@lulusketches Thank you!
❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹
It all starts with a Donut, doesn't it?
No need of art school just [ Pinterest , CZcams , Behance , Dribble , Instagram ] are enough
I hate when people show their bed in their videos . It just makes me feel weird . Like we don’t want to see how you sleep , the pervs might but not the regular decent people . Thanks for the video though
Did you really not consider the Americans who need a visa to... leave? Okay...
They need portfolio reviews to go to the trade schools? So basically you need to start with a mommy and a daddy who can pay all your bills while you sit around drawing? Y'alls parents weren't beating you too? Well damn lmao
PLEASE MAKE A DETAILED VIDEO ON.... HOW AN INTERNATIONAL ANIMATOR CAN GET JOB IN USA ... HOW TO GET H1B VISA ETC.... PLEASE IT'S A HUMBLE REQUEST ...
