As I said I went to a fine art school (Ecole Emile Cohl) and then I passed the exam for Gobelins in Paris, where I am currently studying to become an artist for the animation industry. I always respect people who teach themselves but to a young wannabe artist, I think I will always recommend to go to art school. You know, nowadays, art schools don`t seem to be the only way to become an artist because with the Internet you can learn much more by yourself than before but with an art school, the big point is to be with people who are like you. Sometimes you learn more by speaking with people than to practice your drawing. I definitely think that becoming an artist is a subtle mix of learning from your practice and from the culture around you. Something I learnt in my fine art school was to be aware of other things than art.
