No, I don't. I know people who are knowlegable about art but sugarcoat everything a ton, and I know people who don't sugarcoat but know hardly anything. I'd honestly kill to have a solid, trustworthy mentor.

I want to. I want to just leave this place but I feel like I need a dose of harsh reality to set me straight artistically every so often. I just wish I knew who the people who told me this shit were so I could see whether they were just crabbing or if they actually knew what they were talking about.

I hope it shows, somehow. I've been bouncing from portrait studies to foliage studies to copying Yoshinari cause I've just been lost, trying to find what the secret ingredient I'm missing, and that probably cut back my gains by a lot. Thank you for the wise words anon.
