Welcome to Gaia! ::

I overheard a comment today, it went something like "I have a lot more respect for artists now, I didn't know that they had to draw every single frame!"

Looked like he was working on a flash animation.

As an animator I found that comment pretty hilarious, I'm not sure where he thought the other frames came from.

They probably thought all one had to do was push a button and the computer did everything.

Why don't you just draw it the first time?

She was referring to how it was a waste of time to sketch before you finalize lines. She had a ton of other stupid questions but I've learned to erase my memory over those string of incidents since then. Especially when this same person said that SHE could had easily done what I do if she had the time for it, tried if she wanted to, and was depressed because apparently all artists wanna kill themselves and thats how they get their art skillzorz. < she said all that in the same sentence.

..And I still didn't punch her in the face. I wish I had.

I always find it funny when someone walks over to me in class, sees me drawing, sees the pencil in my hand, sees the bag of pencils on my desk, and asks "Did you draw this?" Or even better, when they see all of the above and go "Did you trace this? You must have traced this." There are no books I could have traced them from in sight, and my drawing style is probably a lot more childish than a lot of manga. Do I just not have an artistic look?
