Sorry for the late reply- sometimes I party at dA then leave for months, anyhoo-
I was discussing natural talent vs work ethic with my friend, and she disagreed, believing that people can be born as Da Vinci. Okay, so maybe people are born with a certain level of interest towards art, but that and making art 'good' are two DIFFERENT things- my doodles were SHIT SHIT SHIT but guess what- practice practice practice BEEYITCH. (im not calling anyone a bitch btw 0_0 I just like shouting) And influence by comic books, daily events, cartoons, is what has me drawing, somewhat recreating that humor I grew up with. I draw what I envision, and how we envision is all gathered up from what we see and experience. Show me a fucking baby who can draw the Notre Dame. SHOW ME.
I'm in MANASShattan. Lexington Ave. Studying at SVA. God, I don't know how I'm able to live, because everything here is expensive as sheeyit.
