Does anyone else feel like that they learn art better if someone teaches it to you?

I know that they are a lot of self taught artist out there but for me, the self taught route hasn't been working for me. I have always felt better when someone shows me what to do or what I am doing wrong and or improve and then I improve and eventually develop my own style from the skills I was taught. Now before you say it, yes i know: SOME THINGS CAN'T BE TAUGHT but it doesn't hurt to get some help on the things that can be taught

The Visual Fan Art section is used to share fan art of MLP. Because this thread is not doing that and instead asking a more general question, I will be moving it to General Discussion.

Ok

Me personally, I go by on my own judgement. Sure I’d pick up some few tips online, but to me it’s pointless, as in taking art lessons is pointless.

Being taught by someone else has a couple useful benefits. It can teach techniques that may help streamline the artistic process, and getting the input or perspective of someone with a fresh eye can be of some use if you respect the opinion of the person appraising your art.
