Message: [QUOTE="WokiBakoki, post: 206268, member: 205793"] Always drew a kid, I would fold up pieces of paper and make comics that I put on the classroom bookshelf. Around 13-14 I slowed down on drawing a bit. I got a drawing tablet to go digital and my abilities and ambition started to split apart. I could envision myself drawing great digital art and animations but my brain absolutely hated practice and experimentation. Fundamentals and the tedium of practice and inconsistency is why I could never learn an instrument or pick up anything that didn't resemble the really good stuff quickly. After a couple years of frustration and started to get too hooked on likes and comments from posted work. I started to look for new ways to create without having to draw stuff. I had a real affinity for video editing. I could make hours pass like minutes making videos, so I really started to latch onto that for creative output. Plus since graphics in college meant free photoshop, I had about a year long phase of really enjoying making very abstract art. Which I can actually show you here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qlbzegeVbjELh8M-AFHpxizznGWsD8T8?usp=drive_link[/URL] That abstract interest, plus video editing with rarely my own original assets. Made me realise I much prefer taking other peoples work and twisting it into my own, instead of dealing with the open ended annoyance of making my own. With video editing, quality is MUCH more black and white. Wheras drawing is too vague for my intensely logic driven brain. That being said, while drawing is something I pretty much fell out of love with. It's something I've actually come back to very recently for a new purpose. I volunteer as a teaching assistant at a local primary school. To give me and the kids something to talk about, I've started drawing cartoons like I did at there age. Stuff I grew up with, so I see what they're into while showing off my older version of the same thing. Plus I feel these kids in particular have a pretty big rift between them and the teachers. Like teachers years ago understood us better than teachers now. But since I'm younger than the qualified main teachers. I can bridge the gap, and meet them on there level. I feel closer to being one of the kids than one of the techers... and right now I'm ok with that. Comes with adorable bonuses, like a drawing of me from one of the girls <3 [ATTACH type="full" width="411px" size="771x531"]70142[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" width="207px" size="314x428"]70143[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
