But since I couldn’t take the classes yet for the years that have passed, I would watch Bobby Chiu’s videos on his YouTube channel where he gives insightful tips and advices and holds interesting and helpful interviews with artists in different industries. I’ve always loved learning, and while I’m still at the start of my journey as an illustrator and writer, I know that I should be investing on my skills and knowledge as early as now. I’ve worked at a corporate environment in an IT company for three years and after that, I decided to take on the full-time artist route, a path that is not usually taken so early on, but perhaps the timing presented itself already.

Besides, I was taking a Multimedia Arts course, so it would be practical to go back to learning again when I’ve graduated and gained a little experience already. Since learning about Schoolism, I wanted to take a class, but I still couldn’t at that time in college. Applicants get the chance to be handpicked and stay for 30 days there and learn through their training program from instructor Thierry Lafontaine. In addition to these, they have what they call the Schoolism House at a lakeside environment in Sainte-Julienne, Quebec in Canada. The instructors give an assignment to apply the topics covered in a certain lesson, and students can apply what they have learned immediately afterward.īesides online classes which you can either learn on your own or with the teacher himself (and get feedback from too!), they organize workshops called Schoolism Live at different parts of the world. Think of Schoolism as an online art school where your mentors are award-winning, talented, and hard-working artists in the industry.Īnd when there’s school, there’s homework! It was in that platform that I got to know about Bobby Chiu, Kei Acedera, and Imaginism Studios too.Įventually, I found out about Schoolism too when I was in college if my memory serves me right. Going back to my deviantArt days, I had so many artists that I admired.Įven up to now, I still remember how their art made me feel and what had influenced me throughout time.
