/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I'm such a fuck up at life.

I used to draw when I was a kid but in high school I got so distracted. Everything in the world told me not to pursue art. The internet wasn't what it is not, back then, you have to understand. Working for Marvel or Disney was about 1 in a billion.

For fun I switched to music, which I don't even really like. I was good at it but I don't care about music. I'm pretty content just listening to other bands, I don't need to be in one.

Actually when I got to high school I wanted to be an architect. I signed up for a mechanical drawing class, when i got there it was just 2 stoners. The teacher told me to drop the class because it was really just a bullshit class for fuck up seniors to get easy credits.

My counselor told me I couldn't take an art class, I had to take a foreign language. I didn't want to but they said I had to. Of the optioned offered I thought Japanese was the most interesting. I never heard the term weeaboo. I didn't give a fuck about anime. It wasn't even about the women.

I just hated all the ghetto spics in my school who acted like retards and Latin is a fuckin dead useless language.

So I studied Japanese, and I crushed it. Not only did I get straight As, I was winning oratorical competitions, I won a full scholarship from Panasonic to study abroad. I lived with a host family, and went to a high school.

When I came back it was basically time to start applying to colleges.

What am I gonna go to college for?

Do I still want to be an architect?

>Anon, if you go to art school, you're never gonna get a job. You're going to be doing characters for tourists on a park bench in central park. You're gonna have all this debt. Go to school for business. You speak Japanese, you'll crush it. You'll make real money and then you can draw as a hobby, besides if you make your hobby your job, you'll end up hating it. And then what will you do for fun?
