Hello c:
I'm really desperate right now , so if you gus can help me, i will be so glad ; u;

I'm planning to study abroad next year. Probably to Australia or UK, i still haven't decided...
I'm so confused right now because I've searched many universities but I could't find any that offer major in illustration (which related to comics or at least accept manga / comic style)

There is one university that attracts me though, it's The One Academy. But it's located in Malaysia.

Honestly, i really want to live in Australia or UK. UK is like my favorites country in whole world LOL
But IDK about the university that offers illustration that teach digital painting.

OMG DOES ANYONE KNOW UNIVERSITY IN UK OR AUSTRALIA THAT ACCEPT MANGA STYLE ?


I have like, 2-3 months before i decide...and if i don't have decision, perhaps I won't have the opportunity to study abroad anymore and experiencing to live abroad is something that i dream  

So far these are my choices:
* NMIT in Australia, with Visual Art major. They teach painting using gouache, arcylic and such.
Problem is, IDK if they accept my manga style. Although i am willing to try to shift from my current style, it's impossible to switch to something like abstract

* University of West England in UK , with illustration major.
Problem is, again, IDK if they accept my current style. And from what i saw in their website, it seems the illustration they refer is like objects or nature or abstract

Please help me if you know anything

//now I need to take a break from thinking since i've been thinking about this for whole week and my mind is about to explode

I can't wait to go to Universal...~ <333

Rants below... please don't continue reading if you didn't like rants XD
Anyway...been thinking a lot like I used to X"D
and I might reach the point where I start doubting my decision to choose traditional medium over digital.

I'm not a person who easily feel regret of what I had chose. But there are things in my life that I regret doing so.
When I first join DA, I was so impressed (and still) by many artists out there, whatever their mediums is. I remember the only reason I chose copic over other mediums was because
Her Ouran art inspires me a lot. Even though at that time I have no idea of what copic is, I'm eager to seek information about it. I went to local stores but they didn't have sketch markers. Then I even went to my capital city to get the copics X"D

I still can feel the happiness when I got the first set <3
To think about what I have achieved from where I started, I'm kinda glad to be honest
I felt like I'm improving at the very least.

But then, after almost 2 years using copics, I doubt myself can improve more.
And copics are expensive. Perhaps I even spent more 10 million IDR ($1000) for refilling and buying new sets. Not to mention the airbrush system which also costs me a lot.

I have job from my parents that allowed me to buy my own supplies. But then, I have other RL needs that I need to use my own money for.
And it upset me that my parents keep complaining and asking me to gets money from my hobby as (they said) I already spent too much.

I tried to, but I really felt like my skills weren't enough, and IDK... if I think about it, I gets depressed and so I don't wanna think about it.
I seeks for tutorial, I seeks for tips but although I get what the tutorial means, but practicing it, is a whole lot different.

And suddenly I realize, maybe it's not about my coloring. Maybe it's about my drawing. I tried couple times to change my drawing style, but I end up having artblock T^T

I realize I still have long way to reach the level I desired. And I was wondering whether I can afford all those materials to support me while going on LOL.

Anyway, these few weeks I've been thinking about developing my digital. I have small tablet and I rarely use it, mainly because there is undo button in digital medium, and usually when I feel something is wrong, I always undo them and in the end, I got nothing done X"D (when practicing traditionally, I can't really undo what I've done, so I just let it be and hope to learn from my mistakes X"D )
I've tried to color couple times, (I didn't upload it because it is very awful that I feel embarrassed). I've done my homework (seeking tutorials, watching tutorials on youtube) and I feel I know how to use it, but then when I practice, LOL it end up messy and I keep texting my friend how to get out when I stuck in the program X"DDD

TBH, the other reason I want to develop my digital is (no offense guys, it's just my personal opinion ) perhaps digital mediums are much more known and liked rather than traditional. For me, in traditional, you need to be very good to be liked and your colors need to be awesome. But then, I realize digital art is much less burden (at least for me). It's honest from me, because I'm also someone who loovvvess to commission artists, and comparing traditional artists and digital artists that I wish I can commission, the ratio is about 2:5. I mean, I realize there are traditional artists who have HUGE potential, but then. digital arts always looks so attractive, even if it just a waist up without BG X"D

What I'm saying is, no, I won't stop with traditional. I had my doubts, but in the end, I already chose traditional as my main medium. It just felt better for me, completing art with the markers in my hand, and that I can see the real image on paper, the alcohol feels, XD. Now I just want to expand to digital, hoping that it could help support my traditional too.

Yeah, I think I change quite a bit after someone comments on my attitude to rants. I still feel sorry that he doesn't want to contact me again, but it's fine. At least he helped me with my point of view now. I get depressed, but I will always get up and give it another shot. Maybe this is just what I need. Rant and get better

T-thank you for all who spent time read this.. it's very not worth it
