So I have this problem... I get really crest fallen when I see art that is better than mine-- which is really often because I'm not that good. School is crazy bad because everyone there is better than me and my teachers spend their time telling me that my stuff is no good and I need to change my style if I want to get anywhere in this industry.
I understand.
But I have tried... and I hate my art when it doesn't look like this. I just can't manage to draw... it makes me sick to have to change my style to fit in to this industry. My sculpture teacher had the greatest comment on the issue, "Anime is amateurish high school art."
Ok, ok, I get it.
I think Budgie does the best at blending the two styles. I don't want to "copy" her, but I think it will be in my best interest to sort of tweak my style into looking similar-- mostly in the eye department. Hopefully I can figure something out. I just really don't want to change who I am artistic-wise just to please my teachers...
But now I sound stupid.
I know I cant get a job in the industry with my style of art. I mostly want this degree for my own personal use. Sure, when I get into Maya and 3D software my art will change and maybe then it will be suitable for clients and employers alike. I'm not saying I wont try to change-- I'm not saying my art is phenomenal enough to override what my teachers want. I'm just saying I am afraid for myself.
This may be why I quit school the first time. This might be why I hate being around other artists. I know I am a whiner and I'm probably just being silly-- but this is how I feel.
