FFFFFFFFFFFFFU-

UGH. FRUIT WITH CHARCOAL. ON THAT NOTE.

The two hour a day drawing homework? Usually a continuation of something we'd start in class. When would be stuff specific to the art studio. In specific places/arrangements. Which, you know, other classes would use and move around.

So not only did we have to spend two hours a day on the homework. We had to spent said hours in the art studio, which because of the number of classes, were only avaiable from about 8pm-7am, AND you had to find all the shit you'd been drawing and reconstruct the scene before you even started drawing again.

God, I hate that man. It's been over five years now, and I still hate that man. I had several breakdowns that semester before I finally withdrew. It was not pretty.

But yeah, I still love doodling and drawing in my spare time, and sometimes I think would like to take an actual class and learn more actual technique and stuff too... and then I remember all the bullshit which, granted, #notallartprofessors, but still.

Uuuuuugh. Talk about petty tyrants and little tin gods!

Yeah, I practiced drawing by doing impromptu sketch crawls and life drawing wherever I was. A pet store owner was nice enough to let me come in during off hours and just draw all the rodents he had around. If I was on the subway, I'd try to gesture sketch everyone around me, never knowing when they'd move or get off. If I saw a neat building, draw the building!

I feel pretty good about how I've been learning. And I didn't need to spend a couple hundred smackers on art supplies I'm unlikely to use again either, eesh.

See, that is awesome. You are awesome. Go you.

Thanks! It helps that I've found I only really care about art as a way to tell a story, rather than as a goal in its own right. So I don't think I would've been a good fit for art school anyway, which focuses on art for its own sake.

Same actually! I've always loved animation because it told a story.

And then eventually I was like "you know what? I'm just going to get a degree in something that pays well and is not super high stress so I'll be able write my own stories on the side and one day I will be published and it will be amazing and then I'll get other people to draw my art for me."

Obviously, I'm not banking on the fanart thing, but I'm chugging away at the whole publishing thing. Plus I have the time to sing and audition for stuff on the side, so yay.

Yeah. In my case, I pursued linguistics (which I don't regret, turns out it's hella useful when you write speculative fiction), tried to become an office monkey, ended up disabled, and now I do art and writing and comics.

It's kind of nice to be doing what I love, at a pace I can actually MANAGE. Peaceful.
