Requesting your advice, please help me choose between these two universities abroad?
Good evening everyone, I am aware of the fact that no one likes to read walls of texts so I will do my best to try and keep this brief. Basically, I am looking to study Computer Science abroad and so far I have been admitted into two universities, one of which is in Russia and it's called "St.Petersburg Polytechnical University", the other one is in Lithuania and it's called "Kaunas University of Technology". I have to make a decision soon but I am unable to do so simply because I like both of these two universities too much and I can't seem to be able to dismiss any of them. Can someone tell me whether or not Russian degrees are recognized worldwide? I know for a fact that European degrees (Lithuanian degrees for example) are recognized in the whole European region and in the west, but is it the same with Russian degrees? An advantage of studying in Lithuania is that I go straight into the 1st year of University without having to take a foundation year, I can start in English. Whereas in Russia, I have to take a foundation year (Russian Language) before I can proceed toward my major, I am fine with that though, I just need to know if it's worth it. After graduation, my plan is to apply to University of Oslo (In Norway) and earn a master's degree in Informatics there and wrap up my educational journey at Cambridge University (UK), but the start is always the hard part. I don't know whether my starting point should be in Russia or Lithuania, thank you very much for reading

2 AnswersHigher Education (University +)6 years agoHow can i learn how to draw?
Hello all, recently i've been struggling so much with drawing, my drawings are simply terrible. And that's probably because i've never drawn anything before in my life, so i lack soooo much experience. I've been following these 'how to draw a cartoon character step by step' videos on youtube but i'm failing hard and i don't feel like i'm improving my art skills by simply copying what someone else is doing. My dream is to become a 3D computer animator for films and/or video games, a lot of people have already told me that i don't necessarily have to know how to draw for 3D animation since 3D animators uses 'acting references' to setup their poses, however i still find it essential to learn how to draw (ex: for storyboards, what if i was assigned to make the storyboard). I'm currently a senior highschool student and i'm looking to apply to a film school after graduation, to gain admittance for the 3D animation & visual effects program i must have an exceptionally good portfolio that includes character drawings and a bit of 3D work. I already have experience in 3D modeling & animation but drawing is the thing that's blocking me to pursue my dreams. I have 1 year left to develop a somewhat good drawing skill, however i don't know where to start. Random youtube videos aren't working out for me so much i really need to start from zero, but i don't know where? can someone please point me to the right direction? Thank you for reading my question.
7 AnswersDrawing & Illustration7 years agoIs animation a good career to pursue?
I'm currently in my senior highschool year and i'm interested in both computer science and 3D animation. I really don't know which field i should pursue, i am fairly good at math & physics however i'm not that good of an artist. My drawings are relatively bad but i could always work harder on myself and become a better artist if that's what it takes. But is it worth it? is animation a good career to pursue? will i be able to find a job after graduation?
I'd be very thankful for any helpful information you could give me.

1 AnswerMovies8 years agoDo i need to be a good artist in order to be an animator?
Hi everyone, so i started learning animation for few weeks now and everything is going pretty well, i'm making some pretty cool walk/run/jump cycles and whatnot... but i was wondering, do you need to have a decent art skills in order to animate? 'cause i definitely SUCK at drawing, hell i can't even draw a straight tree, yes i'm THAT bad, but it seems like i'm doing pretty good while working on the computer, but i need to know this before delving more into animation, does certain scenes requires you to draw before animating on the PC? if that's the case then, i'm afraid animation is not for me :( which is sad 'cause i'm really having fun doing some cartoon animation and stuff :D , oh well, all answers are appreciated.
