/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Why did this trigger /ic/ so much? It's entirely true. It's like learning to compose music by tapping a pencil on a table, or learning to cook by mixing spices in a paper bowl and taste testing them. So far removed from the real thing, yet superficially resembling it enough that you can plausibly deny reality and believe these silly exercises are preparing you for something important.
Just draw a picture and stop listening to snake oil salesmen. Just draw a shitty picture. Seriously.

Am I doing it right, Reily bros?

where are you getting such a template? What book are you referring to? I thought it was a joke.

The article specifically was for the Johns Hopkins magazine series "Imagine" that ran from 1993-2018.

It was sort of a career pathway magazine for teenagers to read and familiarize themselves with jobs they may have not considered. Proko wrote an article for an issue of Imagine covering art-related careers, and specifically focused on working as an animator for video games. Archives of the series do exist, but they are behind a paywall. I'm not sure which issue Proko wrote in, (because he never discloses that, possibly so he can shut that chapter of his life, I wouldn't blame him) but I'm guessing it was during the winter of 2004 or 2005.

Here's an archive of Imagine from 2011 covering math-related careers if you're interested in what the magazine looked like.
