>>85750870>Do you have any pics of your pen workI really don't know where it is at this point. I'm 31 now, it's been a pretty rough near-decade and that stuff is long gone. The only thing I have is a hard drive filled with a bunch of bullshit PS renderings and vector images I created for a dead-end career I hated.
I really, REALLY wish someone had taken the young 20-something me aside and said how important it was to keep intact what made me unique. The type of thing where complete strangers that were in other graduating years would look over my shoulder in the common room and feel compelled to say how much they loved what I was doing.
I think about that and just get so fucking angry with myself that I listened to people that barely knew me and that I spent so much time in class wasting away on bullshit.
If any art students read this: don't be swayed. Don't listen to anything in art school save for critiques of projects you loved doing, and any technical information that will help make you a better artist. Those are literally the only important things to learn. If an instructor tries to steer you towards a style or medium that will get you a job rather than help you flourish and expand upon what you have demonstrated as your innate style, do not listen to them.
Then again, maybe just ignore this. I'm not even a has-been; I'm a never-was. Who am I to say what the winning formula is.
