I just want to add that I went to art school and no one taught me about warm-ups either, I actually learnt about that when I started studying on my own

being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five

#But to be fair they taught me very little about art in general #Art school is overrated and next to useless #I said it i stand by it and i will keep saying it till the day i die #I kept sucking and not knowing jack shit till i took the matter in my own hands #Not that i am great now but jesus better than i was when THEY were supposed to be teaching me #The fact that i had a very shitty teacher for my painting class didn't make it any better #The dude was just a terrible human being and he didn't even teach at all he would just sit and let us do our own thing for like three hours #And then he would randomly pass by our desks and insult our technique and stuff #He was such a gatekeeper too he had this club that only the people he deemed worthy could enter #And he always made you feel bad about yourself if you weren't a favorite. At a certain point i understood that talent wasn't even the issue #He took a liking to people for different reasons - even people who didn't do any work #And if he disliked you there was very little you could do about it. He didn't even look at my stuff most of the time #He just gave me the same grade over and over again for three years. It was the bare minimum of course #That was seriously depressing. I almost gave up on art but that's when i decided to teach myself because clearly he wouldn't #He even thought art couldn't be taught L-M-F-A-OOOO what are you doing TEACHING at an ART SCHOOL then?? ULTIMATE CLOWN #What is it you cranky because you failed as an artist and you were forced to take a teaching job you clearly don't want to do??#I swear I hate the guy so much just look at where a simple mention got me #The only things that helped me through it were the knowledge that he was a completely freakin loser #And the fact that literally anyone hated him as much as i do. At least i felt like it wasn't just me and he was just that awful #Trash person i swear #Most hated living being in the entire school
