classes

Don't quote me on this, but school doesn't really matter as far as getting a job goes, because they'll base their decision on how good your portfolio is.

It is possible to learn everything on your own, or by reading books and talking to other artist on the Internet. That can be difficult, though, and there's a good chance you'll not find out about some important things.

I'd recommend going to school. I've learned things I wouldn't have otherwise, gotten to take classes about non-art things, plus I got to interact with people who had other goals than working on computer games. It's good to learn about art beyond concept design.

There are different sorts of schools to choose from. One is a university or art institute. Then you can also see what they teach: illustration or fine art. The latter could be more classical or contemporary in approach. You should look at the websites for different places, and look at the faculty or student art work.

thankyou so much mtw

Sorry I got back to you so late. I've been at a friends house.
