Thank you very much! I can't say whether or not self-taught is always the way to go. It varies per person. Some people learn better in a structured environment while others do better on their own. It can definitely be a challenge learning purely on your own, because it requires a lot of discipline and research! However, you'll never be a professional if all your practice and through school alone. Allowing yourself personal practice even outside of the working environment is key for improvement! This fall, I'll finally be taking some proper animation classes at the Savannah College of Art and Design, so I'm looking forward to seeing how much it differs from what I've been doing and what more I'll get to know that I didn't before!
