Do girls loke artists? Have you ever painted an acquaintance you know like you paint your french girls?
I once showed my poor art atempts to a girl I liked in early high school. She laughed. I felt so ashamed I pursued engineering and never tried to draw again util I had descriptive geometry in college.
I m now looking to pick up painting and drawing as a hobbie, but what are your experiences?

I’ve overcome procrastination. Everything is clicking. Anatomy, perspective, form, linework, I’m making breakthroughs in them all. Maybe this this I’ll make the leap from int to pro. I’m going to make it!
