File :-(, x)
in 1986 when i was 6 years old the art teacher said there was a "no smoking" propaganda contest and all the kids in school had to submit their drawings, so we all did
some days later the winner drawing was posted, the 1st place was a drawing that looks like this, it was from a 3rd grade girl
the boys were tossing the skin of a dead cat that was under a wood made classroom for god knows how long (back then they were demolishing those classrooms to make new ones made of bricks) but i was watching that damn drawing thinking "man... why can't i draw like that?"
so, i started to draw/ copy/trace comic books. most of my drawings sucked ass. then in the 90's my teenager mind told me to draw gory stuff, in 1995 we had REAL art teachers who taught us some proportions and other things about color and perspective, too bad it lasted untill 1996 when they added more electronics and math bullshit
then i dropped my drawings sessions in 1999 because of my job and i started again in 2000 when i joined the army, i kept a notebook where i used to draw in the down times between instruction, there i met another guy who was a pro (he did some digital color in a comic) and we became the company's cartoonists
sometimes i bumped into random guys i didnt even knew from anti-armor/mortar/1st or 3rd rifle companys and they said "hey, you're the man! can you draw something for my company?"
then after the army i stopped drawing again untill i found a local art forum on the internet, there i learned something about lights and shadows and then in 2004 i stumbled upon 4chan, where this Conan O'brien guy was asking pictures of moot x W.T.Snacks lesbian sex
Tl,dr if you try hard enough you might end becoming good at it, it doesnt have to take you 20 years as i did
now i wonder if that girl keeps drawing, i think she's the only true rival i ever had and the fact that i could never beat her makes me sad and nostalgic
