once you stop reacting to it, it will stop

Once it will stop I will stop reacting to it

I am not going to blink first on this

that's not how it works, but try it your way

Don't tell me what to do. I will try it *your* way

i'm not telling you what to do

I know

Well generally it stops when everyone gets tired of it. If you react to it this will happen more slowly but eventually people will still get tired of this

Which is why I will try it your way

But yeah it's only prolonging it

okay

how long have you been drawing?

I've been taking it relatively seriously for about a year and a half I think

cool

i used to draw, but i got disillusioned with art for a while

i'm slowly getting back into it

Show me some of your work please

I've never been good at it.

It's really hard to be good at it, especially when you do stuff from imagination

I don't have any online, it's all on paper, and unfortunately I never picked up my art portfolio when i left school, so it's probably all lost

There is a lot to warp your head around

It's ok

I used to work on it a lot more, but the closest I got to drawing would be world building and making maps.

that's pretty cool

Well you are still young

You can get back to it if you want

This is 5 years of work.

It's a good career to have, you can work from anywhere and there is a lot of demand

And it isn't as dry as most well paying alternatives

5 years? wow

cool

that's some serious dedication

started sophomore year of high school, slowly still add stuff to it.

You are very talented meratrix

I'm sorry for doubting you

the best art teacher i ever had was my middle school art teacher, and oddly enough the best thing i ever drew was in his class. I got an A+ on it, probably the only A+ i ever got in school lol

My middle school art teacher was similar like that.

the major point he tried to make was to not think about what you were drawing, and to actually not even look at the paper, but to just draw as slowly as possible and rely on negative space. he would actually have us turn things upside down to draw them

This one here is my masterpiece
