Hi Austin! My 18-yo cousin is feeling discouraged because she feels like her drawings look like cartoons, which made me remember a video (that I think you posted) that was a sort of timeline showing someone's progress in technique and skill over several years. I've been looking through all your likeliest tags and even googled it, but can't find the video. I'm hoping it was a post of yours... Do you know what I'm talking about or am I nuts?
Hmm… doesn’t sound familiar. You might ask her, “What’s wrong with cartoons?” David Shrigley can’t draw for shit and he’s one of my favorite artists!
Buy her Picture This or send her to this Gary Panter post and give her Wayne Coyne’s advice: “Don’t think. Just start drawing.” (And keep drawing.)
