My Art Teachers HATE Anime And/Or Me

[@LemiaCrescent]

I wonder if I can pin my own comments... Anyway, I added to the description of the video. For everyone out there on the internet trying to justify why I should fail, I talk a bit more about the details of the high school years. Oh those lovely years. If the Q&A doesn't help shed light on what I mean, I don't know what else will. XD

[@seoulmoonchild649]

LemiaCrescent I had a teacher in fith grad that absolutely hated me and I would draw wheil listing to her give math or reading and when she woud see me drawling .she would come up to me take it off my desk and rip it up and so I even hid them in my locker and she would go threw my Locker and start threwing my art away

[@zanielainie]

OMG I FOUND THIS VID AND I WAS LIKE "and this is my first semester in 6th grade all over again , but with art instead of everything" No but for real I had these 3 teachers in this school (now mind you there are only 3 6th grade teachers because it's a private school, so yeah I was screwed) you see the reason for said 1st semester is because I quit that school after that because they were probably gonna kick me out anyway:P now for the reasons they hated me (I think, we still don't know why) 1: my dad is a drummer they probably hate this because the school is based on The Church of Christ ( they don't like music T-T SRY IF UR CHURCH OF CHRIST ) 2: I was new a student (even though there were like 51 more new students) and I was very different, I was creative, funny, I new reality unlike everyone else there, reality is not unforgiving all the time 3: I wa- I mean still am very sassy (more Reality) 4: I TOLD THE FRICK'N TRUTH. Ok so this one teacher asked me "*insert nam here* why are you falling asleep" and I was like "um Mr. *insert name here* I don't call it falling asleep I call it being bored" and I had this smirk on my face that said "oh yeah you told him" so yeah I still technically am in 6th grade but I am now homeschooled now and I enjoy it a lot. So what have we all learned today kids! kids: that *insert name here* hates you!!* me: CORRECT!!!!

If it's any consolation, I can relate somewhat. I was denied entrance into the school musicals even as CHORUS of all things so I wanted to take the Drama 3 class since their final project was to do the fall musical (spring musical was for everyone.) I asked the drama teacher if I could take that class even though I missed the middle class (because the music teacher put me in women's chorus instead of mixed choir and Drama 2 was at the same time as women's chorus.) She politely explained to me that there were things that I needed to know from Drama 2 and I accepted it. This WOULD have been fine...until I found out that the girl who bullied me got into said class just by ASKING HER when she hadn't even BOTHERED to take the drama 1 class. Said bully ALSO was allowed to be the TEACHER'S AIDE in my class even though she didn't know a thing the class was talking about and the rule our school had about aides was that because the aide assisted the teacher, the student had to first pass the class they wanted to be an aide in. A similar thing happened to me when I tried to get into a dance class because I wanted to learn how to dance (their excuse for not letting me be in the musicals was that I couldn't dance) and the dance teacher let a girl who just waltzed right up to her ON THE NIGHT OF ENROLLMENT be in the class when I'd begged her to let me in for MONTHS and the class was supposed to teach you HOW TO DANCE. I LOVED music theater and honestly if they had supported me in my ventures to become a musician (rather than just a music teacher which even with that, they treated me like I was beneath them,) my confidence would have been a lot better. tldr; teachers play favorites...it's unfortunate but it happens a LOT (and is one of the reasons I want to become one so I can CHANGE how the system works)

[@Nekoinuhanyou]

Teachers also compare you to your older siblings especially if you are the younger sibling. I kind of gave up on math in high school and deemed the stuff they were supposed to be teaching us useless as when the hell was I ever going to use it. I went to a private school for part of elementary and the teachers always believed the bully instead of me. I got accused of cheating on a test when the bully had copied my answers even though I tried to cover them. I was also picked on for taking too long to complete a test due to my disability. Its why I want to become a teacher for those with special needs.

[@vichraev.5386]

As a professor of art and design, it pains me to hear this. When I was an art student, I had several teachers crush me because I chose a realistic style. Your teachers had no right to inject their own opinions of art style into your critiques. That means they are terrible teachers. A teacher's job is to inspire, encourage, and give the gift of their own knowledge and experience. NOT to impose their own sad opinions and feelings of failure on to their students. You have great courage for putting this forth, and I think you have great talent! A+

[@julienielsen3746]

Teachers are there to teach. And in high school they are there to teach the basics. And the kids are supposed to be learning the basics at that time. Yes, the teachers do have the right to tell them that they should not be doing a style like Anime in school, because that is only copying another person's style.

[@marslego501]

How the fuck is anime copying another persons style? theres anime realistic etc but who cares that your copying tat style? if you couldn't draw either of those styles, then you would run out of styles

[@julienielsen3746]

Of course it's a style. It's a cartoon style. It isn't truly realistic. Who has eyes that large? Have you ever looked at any other artist's work that wasn't a cartoon style? If an artist isn't copying another person's style they do have their own style. Not all artist's work that is painted or drawn realistically look exactly alike. Not all are photo realistic. There are a lot of realistic paintings that I can tell by looking that it is a certain artist's work. I can always tell a John Singer Sargent painting when I see one. And there are many other styles. Impressionistic, for one.

She then said "they are trying to make u feel better" she walked out of the classroom and i decided to be nosy, i counted the two stacks of votes and MINE CAME OUT TO BE THE WINNER!

I had an art teacher who really liked me but hated another kid who was wayyyy better than me. Anyway, at the end of the year we had this big art contest where we tried to draw my principle in 20 minutes as best as we could. The teacher said everyone could compete... except the one kid that she hated. She told him "you're no where near the level you have to be in order to join this competition". I later told her that I would not compete so he could take my place. She tried to talk me out of it, but I managed to get him to compete. He won second place because his piece wasn't complete, but he did get another award for it being the most realistic/detailed. The art teacher was just staring at the kid like he had kicked her fuckin toddler.

While I agree that just doing experiments without regard for the scientific procedure does in fact void the point of what your doing and not count as science. That being said it is NOT a waste of time as preforming experiments does provide understanding of what expected outcome is as well as drive to understand the aspects behind it which gives more of a reason for people to learn about it besides the typical "If x then y because z" and lab write up.

[@Mackerachi]

When I was in highschool my art teacher was really well known for hating anime and would get upset at anyone who did. I knew not to bring it into her classroom, though I'm pretty sure I saw her turn her nose up at me when she saw some of it on other classes notes when I was in grade 9. We didn't ever have sketchbook assignments during any of my HS years (which is what I attribute not sketching enough to) so it never really came up. My grade 12 year, second semester I took AP art with a bunch of people from the first semester. I was almost bottom of the pack. But I had a spare in 1st period so I painted in the art room with the grade 10's, coming back in the afternoon to do my actual class work. When I finished my portfolio pieces, I was still only around middle of the class in terms of quality. We had one last assignment after the portfolios were submitted - complete 2 works of anything, any size within the last 2 months of classes. I did all anime. I completed 4 pieces, but one in particular I hung on the wall while it was in progress (cause I didn't want anyone to touch it and my art bunk was constantly being raided). In the 2 months I worked on it, she didn't once say anything bad to me about it, and never asked me to take it down. I was really happy with that. Not only was I not being scolded, but she proved herself as well. It wasn't that she hated anime, I think she just hated the mindset of people she had in class that drew anime. I proved that I could draw anime - and - do art. That I wasn't limiting myself by drawing anime, I was open to new ideas, I was trying things and getting better. I said I finished the class with around middle talent compared to my peers. Awards ceremony the AP Art class award for highest marks went to me. I was flabbergasted. Of a class of 22, only myself and one other student did the 2 paintings at the end of the year (the rest mostly chatted all class and were lazy bums, some just didn't show up). Instead of marking me for the 2 pieces, she added two additional projects to my list and marked me for all 4, giving me 100% on all of them, raising my average. She laughed at my expression when I went to grab the award. She told me later that while she still didn't really like anime, I was the hardest worker there, and I had definitely proven myself of creating whatever I wanted to create. I kind of wish I had given her more credit earlier.

[@fobija1378]

Mackerachi Lucky you then. Mine was well... Let say many good drawings (that was not even related to anime) gone missing because its not drew in my art teachers special style (thats not even realistic)

[@Tanjaaraus]

this is just it. I mean I was not great at drawing back in HS (I hadn't even tried drawing before - now it's earning me money lol), but I respected the hell out of our art teacher and did the projects just like she asked us to do. When we got out grades I would always get full marks and the other more talented would either get a lower grade or fail. They called me an asskisser for the teach - but she taught me how to draw and how to study art with her projects, while the ones who "already knew how" was in the corner drawing anime and not giving a shit about the projects or tasks. And I am not hating on anime, or how it's drawn - I love it, but the attitude of those people made the entire class experience turn sour for the rest of the students

[@Goshi]

Yeah, and speaking of references, that's what even artists historically noted as professionals would use. Picasso, DeVinci, Matisse... the list goes on. It makes no sense to shit on people for using references when for a lot of artists referencing something works really well to perfect their art.

[@elspoek1]

[@jacobreynolds3917]

I had a teacher when I was in middle school named Mr. dissinger. All throughout the year I noticed that he was trying to ignore me and not give me any type of help on ways i could improve. He would also give me c's and even lower, grades when my pieces were a lot better than anyone elses and give negative comments all the time. The reason is, because I was a lot better than his son and I had been selected over him to go to the art competion against other schools. At the end of the year I was done and I didn't wan't do do it anymore because it wasn't very fun anymore. Over time gradually, after he left the school, i started to do art again and i found that i had found my passion for art once again.

What's "not suitable for highschool" about a portrait of a character, colored or not? On a different note, the art teacher I currently have (in high school) has turned drawing from a fun experience into a chore. We had to read six textbook pages on portraits, then make notes, analyze pictures from those pages, and write a couple more things before we even started *sketching.* After we had done all that, we were allowed to draw frontal, profile, and three-quarter profiles using fellow students as models. (because screw using photo references/technology in school, amiright?) This also happened over three days, so for *one entire class period* we were doing nothing but writing. In an "Art 2" class.

[@Frasian2162]

one thing i will say straight up, If you don't like being scolded for drawing anime, then don't go to art school. It won't be worth the time and money. Once you get to high school level, classes aren't there to "let you freely express yourself", it's to develop skills and basic techniques. But college is really about using your skills you learned in high school. I've seen quite a few of my anime friends get immediately rejected because their portfolios were just anime or the same thing over and over again. I used to be in all AP art classes in high school and with a style that was mostly anime, i had to bust my ass to prove i deserved to stay in there. That's when i started doing semi realism which was the saving grace that prevented me from going to the art classes for the kids who are just trying to take a BS class so they wouldn't have to "try hard" And because of my efforts, I'm in a really nice graphic design job that pays me well because of the skills and techniques i learned from dropping my anime style and doing different thing and drawing things i found hard at the time. Now that aside, I feel so sorry that you had to deal with a crappy teacher. from what you described, they were just picking a fight to pick a fight. Sometimes teachers see something they don't like and permanently brand you with the idea that you're stubborn or this or that and blah blah blah. That really can't be helped. but it always runs the risks of ruining a person's desire to continue to do art just because the teacher decides to be an ass for the sake of such.

[@xejune]

Honestly? It depends on the art school. I went to one that was used to having students that adore anime, and they didn't mind students drawing in that style at all as long as they completed the assignments and as long as their technique was good and improving. (of course there were plenty of assignments where you didn't have a choice of style. Like when we were learning about shadows, drawing still lives or figure drawings. But then again, I dropped out so I don't know if that was just a ploy to prevent new students from being scared away.)

[@sundancent2202]

I don't understand why art teachers don't like anime style art. Usually it takes a lot of detail and beautiful colouring to look good. My art teacher wasn't really mean about it but she would usually say that she didn't like it or she thought it was sexual or something...

[@Nikku4211]

Anime style art is probably not in their tastes. Even if someone really did put that much effort into the drawing.

[@deafblood]

Anyone with an understanding of the anime style knows it's a trap that's easy to dig yourself into but very, VERY difficult to get out of. The mistake young artists make is starting in anime without understanding how the body/face works in the first place. Only when you understand correct anatomy and facial structure can you exaggerate it in a way that makes sense.

[@fakeghostthe2448]

A majority of the teachers and professors I've come across don't hate the anime style. They just don't want you to start out with that style or any highly stylized styles because it is very hard to learn the basics of portions, vaules, ect compared to if you were to learn/start off more realistic then go on to develop your own style or go into the anime style.

[@Cantrona]

Art School (as in post secondary) hate it.They rarely accept students that feature anime art in their portfolio because they think it stunts creativity. They think we're 'copying' or 'stealing' from Japan, so the high school art teachers have developed a strong aversion to the style since it's detrimental to getting into art school.

[@dragdramane]

[@idontcaretbh2999]

I had an art teacher in gr 9 who was very manipulative. I was always quiet but my friend in that class was expressive and extroverted. This teacher also happened to be similar to my friend and I think that they hit it off well but she really hated me. She basically said to my face that I'm less intuitive because I'm not very vocal. She didn't know how to mark sketches fairly, either. One time, I worked really hard on a portrait of a wolf's facewith shading/colouring, a background, and detail. It actually matched all criteria for a 10/10 in her marking scheme. When I showed her, she just kind of smirked and gave me a 7/10. It was a coincidence that another student also did a wolf face portrait that day, only their's was traced from a printed image off the internet (he even told her that and she said it was fine) and it wasn't shaded or coloured at all but she still gave him a 10/10 for no obvious reason other than that it looked good and he was her favourite student. I could type all day about all the other unfair things she did to students.

[@dear_totheheart]

They hate disproportions and want you to actually improve to the point you'll be able to draw anything. I hate this trope within the artistic community. Anime is no lesser art form, but it's rather ridiculous in my opinion to act like art schools/professors are the culprits or that something is wrong with attempting to maintain and pass on standards and quality advice/techniques

[@tinguyen999]

Apologies if I’m wrong, but she said she drew anime in a sketchbook where her teacher said she could draw anything, then proceeded to threaten to fail her even when she did draw realism. A kid can still draw anime in their free time and learn realism in class. She never said she drew cartoons when she wasn’t supposed to. To discourage someone from their hobby is just wrong. Yes, if a student isn’t following the curriculum and blaming their teacher, they are in the wrong. If a student is either told they can draw anything in any style, draw differently in their free time outside of class, or has their teacher turn against them and fail them just because of a single incident even though they followed along, it’s hard to argue for the teacher. Lemmie has a point. This is not meant as an attack. If you argue, I’m not going to argue back. Sorry if I wasted your time.

[@dear_totheheart]

@@tinguyen999 Good points of distinction, especially on the points Lemmie brings up from her experience. What I said pertained more towards this overall attitude in the art community - regardless of an abrasive teacher or a poor experience, standards matter and if you embrace them, you'll improve and produce the best possible content in the future. That was the point I was trying to make, thanks for understanding!

I became a freelance visual artist because I'm in love with anime + games + pop culture, and till this day~ It's sad to hear that teachers like that exist. I also have a professor who dislikes anime, but I don't paint anime that much during college because it's all about other kinds of art, which is ok because I get to experience it.

As an art teacher you shouldn't put down a student for an art style they are good at and enjoy No matter if it's anime or not

[@bibibibi7904]

cat fla yeah I finished my art major but I do understand why in basic art classes there's no room for creativity . I have to admit that in highschool nobody hated my art and actually had a positive experience with anime/manga though of course I did realistic stuff too since that's what you learn I find it disheartening to hear that teachers would do that to their students some people just wanna have fun being serious about art doesn't mean you're going to art school it just means it's precious to you

[@gumimegpoid6810]

bibi bibi "being serious in art doesn't mean you're going to art school, it just means its precious to you" thats actually a really nice quote. i am now in 10th grade and as i watch these kind of art school related vidz i'm confused if i should go to an art school in college. my art style is mainly anime, but i have no problem working on realism. but with these art school stories i'm having second thoughts.

[@bibibibi7904]

Gumi Megpoid If you want to go to art school just remember that the classes are meant for basic techniques and more traditional art forms than personal desire it doesn't have to be what you love it's about learning what you have to learn if you love drawing /painting you can use books or free sources online I can't say going to art school is useless but since many classes and workshops exist I guess it's good if you start on your own and grow from there Only practice can make you reach better skills oh and don't get obsessed by every book in the store I like many have been doing this instead try reading reviews and see videos and decide which one you want my skills grew faster than my need of more books about a certain subject just remember if e.g. figure drawing book can you draw the human figure after having finished the book ? if yes then continue simply with this book don't add more books about human figure too much information is no information at all because an artist goal is to draw and if he can do that what's the point of more details and complicated info? nothing be simple many artists just use the basic info

[@gumimegpoid6810]

I'm sorry for all the hateful comments your getting! People are so rude. Glad you stuck it out and kept on trucking and doing what mattered to you and what you found fun. I was lucky in the whole teacher department. Though usually they started out absolutely hating me at first and then finding out that I wasn't so bad after all -- to very much liking me in the end. That happened about what, four consecutive times? Not art, unfortunately, though I was pretty lucky in that department, too. They liked what I had to offer... I was just never really there.

[@jjc1172]

Few things. Teachers should never hate students to the point that they cause a ripple in their lives. Sure, they may not have their favorites, but unless the student is disrespecting the teacher, then they should keep it to themselves. Yeah, always use references. That is a truth beyond all measures. But there should come a point where it doesn't appear you do. But, lastly, and people will hate me for this. You honestly can't go into art school with anime as your portfolio. When I entered into animation and gaming, my professor said, "Who here likes anime?" Majority of us raised our hand, including me and the teacher himself and then he said, "Kay, don't draw it." While it does come with talent, as far as animation and art school goes, it doesn't cut it. Especially since they fall into same-face syndrome. This is mainly because once they animate one head turning, they've animated all heads turning. Being that I am clearly an animator, I can tell every single time they reuse another character's animation. I'm not fond of the style anymore, but the stories are just breathtaking. (There are a few anime that still have a good style. Ones that you can tell take the time an effort to provide the best anime. Such as, Made in the Abyss.)

[@TheFLAMEXD]

That is such hypocrisy. If any art teacher says that anime has "same-face syndrome", they should look at western cartoons, because there are a lot, and I mean A LOT, of them that share very similar artstyles with same-face syndrome.

[@leopoo6553]

I hate it when art teachers force you to put bold outlines around your art. it looks awful to me

[@LemiaCrescent]

This is a great comment that further proves the point of this video. Here is why... My art teachers would have gotten into a FIGHT with your art teachers over this. My teachers did not want ANY lines in the art whatsoever. I would have loved to put the two teachers in a room and see what happens. :) And to explain what I mean further, just because one person likes something doesn't mean someone else feels the same way. Just because one teacher says "do this"doesn't mean that it is the "right way," as art is a largely subjective matter. To force someone to draw a certain way or do a certain thing is really stupid. @_@ Unless you're specifically taking a class to create art a SPECIFIC way ...like... I don't see the point.

[@ChipmunkiousD]

My art teacher did the exact opposite. If she saw even the slightest hint of an outline that wasn't covered with shading, she took points off. She wanted all the art to look realistic. I can't draw realistic-looking hands and I got points taken off for drawing my thumb too wide and not shading it enough. Like, she said my hand's not paper white but I couldn't use colors, so I should've shaded my entire hand. I only have three levels of shading I can physically get myself to do: dark, light and none, but she wanted so much detail in the shading and I just couldn't figure out how.

[@IRISHGIRL318]

It's fine for a middle schooler to begin and experiment with anime, but when you're a senior in high school and still pumping out same faced chibi drones, it gets really old. People need to be challenged in order to find something original

[@hamster_in_a_wheel_8099]

"chibi drones"? Anime is a bit more varied then that.... yes they need to be challenged and be original in their art but they CAN do that with an amine style. Even if its not a art style you like, its not unoriginal

[@Juliet_Marie]

savannah steed do you have any idea what anime encompasses? anime is a varied art style, everything from Chibi, to super detailed hyper realistic art style, to a style focusing on movement and color, or on eye expressions. It is wildly varied, and whatever style an author uses illustrates the story they are trying to tell. This person was clearly ostracized in her classroom, even considering her circumstances with a brother battling cancer. Even if she had been disrespectful, "shut up" is NEVER the right way to go when disciplining a young adult and is grounds for at the very least a strong warning in today's times. doing so in front of an audience was worse and if you don't like anime keep it to yourself, because the point of this story had NOTHING to do with anime and everything to do with people who unfit for their positions and take notes from Umbridge on how to treat their students. Also if you don't like anime, go swim in the shallow pool of the internet with all the other unenlightened individuals because we do not need you.

[@kixtayo]

I haven't been criticized on my art before, except from my best friend back when she was good at art and I was bad at it. I didn't mind, I already knew I was bad, but I had been drawing since I could hold a pencil so... I hope I keep on improving :)

[@AuroraDeLirio]

Savannah's term was kind of rude but I do get where she's going. Gotta say, I LOVE anime and manga and I've been following the genre for many years now, and in spite of having gone to design school and taken fine arts courses, my drawing style (for my hobby) is based off anime. But as someone who studied art styles through history, I have to be honest and say anime style is not as varied to the fine artist as it seems to us, the anime fans. I had to admit that while I was in university. Allow me to explain. Anime has a lot more common denominators, even in its full spectrum, than fine art styles. Even if you compare a moe, shoujo anime style to a grotesque semi realistic seinen style, they still have more in common than a cubist and an impressionistic style. This, and the fact that it has a very heavy load of cultural influence of its original country. In fine arts, the styles have an origin and a reason. If you don't have a reason to draw the way you draw, it's not gonna hit the nail for a fine artist. They just won't understand why you're picking a japanese pop culture style to talk about the topic of the assignment. This said, all artists, even cubists like Picasso, started off with realistic style - actually he had it well mastered in his early teens. Once you understand the complexity of reality, you can simplify it through your own eyes and make your own style. Side note: let's not confuse "complex" and "detailed"". Complex is, for example, the different muscles interacting, flexing and contracting under the skin, forming a single volume, then how it intereacts with the area light, a focused light and a secondary light. Detailed could be drawing one by one every single blade of grass in your landscape, or a lot of different sections of hair in your character - but being detailed does not make it right. Anime (and all non realistic styles) simplify complexity; but in order to simplify correctly and not just copying other person's simplification, you need to know the basics of realism. Do I think students should be told to totally stop drawing anime until they master realism? absolutely not. But they have to study realism too, and they will eventually start applying their knowledge to it. If they already master realism, they should cooperate and show the teacher that they can do realism too, and decide to use another style due to personal preference. Just because they have to prove it. But in high school, they usually don't master one or the other and of course the teachers will decide to teach realism. This said I think the teachers mentionned in the video had a very bad approach. I had a teacher who would give the drawing class to the animation students too, they all either drew anime or other cartoon style. Instead of being mean to them, she only dedicated half of the course to realism until she realized they were all more than decent on it and then made the class about sculpting their own characters, giving them actual volume in their style of choice, and draw from different angles so their designs were consistent in a 360° view. I think this was an amazing way of teaching and all of the students refined their style a lot during that semester. Some ended up leaving anime too and took another cartoonish style of their own, others kept anime but with a much more mature approach.

[@awk-wordwriter7179]

People shouldn't control creativity. Creativity is letting your mind wander around and explore possibilities. I had a similar situation. Well... Similar but opposite. I typically draw and do art free handed. I normally don't use references. I respect people that do use them though. For an art show that was coming up our teachers told us we could do whatever we wanted. I had two pieces in mind. One was a piece inspired by an animie I watched. It was a girl's hair piece. I thought it looked very pretty and simple. Another was inspired by a song a listened to. It was called "Dear Diary" and it was a song about recovering from anorexia. (Which I had started recovering from.) But when my teacher walked around and saw me with all my materials and no reference she asked what was I doing. I told her about my idea, but she told me I needed a reference. I told her these were all from my head and I often drew without a reference. She told me I had to have a reference. So I began searching the net. I eventually settled on something. But the teacher came up to me amd told me and I quote "Emily, you just have to do this one. It fits you perfectly. You love to read." Which is true, I love to read...but the art style was something I didn't enjoy. It was a modgepodge piece. But I didn't know how to say know. So I did the project. And I hated it. I didn't like my fingers being sticky or having to put papers on a canvas. I just didn't have a good time doing it...and that's what art is all about: having fun. I didn't get to do either of the pieces I wanted. Thus I was deeply aggravated.

Anime artstyle is indeed not proportionate and its certainly not the best artstyle ever and certainly not suitable for everything you do creative BUT it is and always will be art, like anything else humans consider art not a lesser or superior style and like anything artistic and creative when done right its a feast to the eyes. Also "anime" art itself looks different depending on your way to draw things. When it comes down to it Art teachers are just annoyed by anime art and probably think its like an epidemic because a lot of young artists try it because it looks fascinating to them and instead of giving it a try and conclude this topic with their students by maybe telling them that this artstyle isnt everything, find your own style, they are disrespectful towards animeish art and those who legitimately like it and thats just disgusting.

The only instance where I've seen that happen is when the beginners in question are actual children and the more experienced artists older (professionals or students). In these cases, this does make sense to some degree because young children have limited comprehension and mobility skills so people are easier on them. Even when you aren't talking about children, it's more helpful to let someone's art develop a bit before you start laying on the criticism.

Back when I was in school(aeons ago) we were encouraged to participate in a popular National Art Competition. Back in 6th grade, I was the 2nd runner up in my zone(East zone)! Now, I wasn't particularly great, but I was better than the average Joe, and I loved to explore a lot. That result encouraged me a lot(I mean, if you get a cool water color set as a prize at that age, who wouldn't be encouraged), So I worked hard and polished my water color skills. I entered the same competition next year(7th grade). The topic was WAR. I did a watercolor of a mountaintop ambush and painted with mostly cooler shades. When I was submitting my painting, the teacher refused to accept it. He accused that it was too mature to be my work, and I had gotten it painted by someone else! Luckily, my classmates vouched for its legitimacy, as they'd seen me paint it in class. He then tried to point out that my painting's colors are too cool, unlike in a war, so I might not stand a chance! I wanted it to be entered anyway, which he did reluctantly. He placed me at 17th in his personal list from all of the school's entries. I won in the Eastern zone that year, and also won a special Jury award at the nationals. The one who had topped my teacher's personal list, got just an honorable mention in the regionals(although I must admit, he has always been better than me and is a really good friend. He was one of the kids who stood out for me). The teacher never behaved the same with me. I found out about his hatred towards me when I was in 11th grade(He was the HOD in Arts and Crafts then), I had asked for his advice on how I should proceed in order to pass the entrance exams in the art schools in my city. He told me I didn't have enough quality to study art, because I barely know how to draw balanced human figures. He was right in this case. So, I practiced for the next year and applied for a Diploma course in 2D animation film making. I struggled a lot because I lagged behind in the basics. Now, I am a professional animator and designer with 7+ years of experience. Recently met him when I visited my school for a reunion. He was visibly surprised at my career choice, but invited me to his exhibition anyway, which he was doing with the Economics teacher from my school(who is an excellent as well as a trained artist, and the only person in school who encouraged me to pursue art). At the exhibition, I called out an inexcusable flaw in one of his paintings(I wasn't trying to be a dick, it was instinctive), and a lot of his patrons happened to be around. A few days later, I found myself blocked from his FB profile. I later learned from my Economics teacher that the painting I called out, didn't sell! Moral of the story: if your teacher doesn't like a particular style and insists on practicing the basics; Don't villify them. Look beyond their biases and try to take in whatever skill they have to offer. But don't abandon your preferred style! Do it on your own and apply the skills you are taught by that teacher along the way! You will improve a lot more that way. Even the teacher will overlook his bias and acknowledge you this way! But if your teacher is a dick who doesn't teach and always criticizes your work(like mine was), always remember, Karma's a bitch!

[@reaganmarie0]

Honestly, i draw in an anime kind of style, and my art teacher really encourages me. She tells me she loves how animated it looks and how i can draw the hair. Am I like the only one who had a nice art teacher with me still drawing anime? Probably.. cause im forever alone ;-;

[@mediiherbs]

Ever my Art teacher is like yours ! He understands our tastes and our styles ! He always appreciates my cartoony art works and compliments it ! He's a really nice guy

[@Klee99zeno]

all artists in history have used models to reference. This is the only way to draw anything accurately. Your imagination will only be useful once you've fed that imagination through observation.

[@MyaSuri]

Jonathan Lewis imagination and observation are both extremely inevitable to Art. Don't you agree ?

[@Klee99zeno]

both observation and imagination are needed to make art great. You can't draw from pure imagination. Anything you draw will always end up looking like something in the observable world. To make it a convincing drawing, you will need to observe the world.

[@felipewerner6670]

when you have a profound notion of anatomy, and a fertile imagination, you can bring to this world something new, never seen before. Beksinski has a incredible classical techinique, with an astounding imagination, his paintings dont have name, and reflect something that cannot be found in this world, only in his mind.

[@Coratison]

Sometimes I think art teachers just are jealous of what their students can create if maybe they wanted to be a professional artist but it didn't work out and they see someone with a lot of skill for their age

[@littlebean7764]

Yeah that, and because of our new generation. Older teachers are use to see past style types of art works, not anime. They need to realize things have changed.

[@ayrtonhayes2453]

Yep.

[@astrangeperson1719]

your drawing is so amazing!! I am super jealous of your artistic ability.

[@zttchristine]

I think you should have told the principal of your high school about the art teachers hating on you. It sounds like they were bullying you by singling you out a lot, which is wrong, and they could have lost their jobs because of it.

[@ANIMEBEAST27]

zttchristine Exactly what I'm saying but I wouldn't of directly told, I would of played a game. If I got an f on an amazing piece I would of went to the principal showed her and said hey is this an F, then when the principal says no and goes why is there an F on this I'd be like I don't know she just gave me an F. This puts it all on the art teacher and gives her an option to explain herself without directly throwing her under the bus yet, if she some how gets herself out of that one which is likely then she knows that was a warning, If she did it again next time its pretty much a sure if you bring something like that to a principal twice. That's what I do if I was in her situation, but usually I don't even have to do stuff like that because I have no problem speaking my mind without getting upset or yelling, I would of had a long talk with that teacher before it ever even escalated. she was way too passive

"Give me one good reason I shouldn't fail you right now.." Your job is to help your students improve their technique and creative expression, not to arbitrarily define what "art" is and fail someone just because you don't like or get what they produce.

[@okayokay6963]

kinda ironic how art teachers want you to express yourself yet its to their needs only.

[@DARITZ13]

When I was in High School I had this Art teacher who at first was nice to me (The beggining of my Junior Year when I took Art 1) I made a drawing of a car and she wanted me to enter a contest with it (which I did and I didnt won), then by the middle of my junior year my projects started to look way better and she changed.. she started to judge my art in a mean way... she said like “This doesnt look like a person” and at the end of my junior year she was returning all of the projects we made throught the year and she didnt gave me back some of my art work that I had made for her class, I asked her for them and she said that she didnt know where they were/she lost them.” My Senior year I took Art 2 with the exact same teacher and she sat me on the second table where my friends were at and we were doing a practize of how to shade some circles and I was shading it with my pencil and everyone else except for one guy was shading it with their fingers and she told me “you are doing it wrong!! Do it agaain!” (She accepted everyones work except mine) Then I did it again and this time I used my finger (thinking she wanted like that) and when I turn it in she said “Noo thats cheating!! You are doing it wrong! Everyone else did it perfectly except YOU!” so she failed me on that assigment. Then a couple of days went by and the assigment for that day was to do a portrait of ourselves and I started mine (we were using a photo as a reference) and I went up to her desk and asked her how I was doing and she didnt said anything, she just looked at me and she erased one of the eyes and she drew an eye there but the eye looked so fake without soul and I told her “uhmm... the eye doesnt fit my portrait...” and she looked at me as she was mad so she said “well you see? Thats how you look!”. Then when she put our Art work on the wall she didnt put mine and then she said “LOOK (my name) this person has talent not like youu!”. That same year my councelour put me in Art 3 (with the exact same teacher) and she didnt want me there, she complain about everything! (At the time I was doing all her work), she complained that I wasnt doing any work, she yelled at me several times and she always kicked me out andsent me back to the counselour. Until one time at the end of my senior year when we were doing a mural for the 2012 graduation class and everyone (all my classmates) were drawing on the mural and I was sitting on a table alone (cause thats were that teacher wanted me to sit) so one of my friends told me “hey come here and draw with us! It’ll be more fun!” And I went and I was about to draw on it when I heard the teacher yelling at me “NOOO!!! You are not allowed to do so! You suck and you are going to ruin it! GET BACK TO YOUR SEAT” I was on my way to my seat when one of my friends said “why not? I bet she’ll do a good job! Let her draw with us!” and she did a disgusting face but she allowed it and when I was drawing the forms on the mural that teacher came up to me and said “you are ruining it!! Now I have to put this with your trash on it” and after she walked away, one of my friends said “dont listen to her! You are good! Look you are doing a really good job!”. Then that same day at the end of the class everyone were sitting and the teacher called me to go up there... so I did (I was really nervous since I was really shy at the time) and then she tell everyone to pay attention to her and what she said changed me (for a couple of years), she said “LOOK!! All your classmates have talent!! Not like youuu, you definetely dont have talent!! You suck!! You will NEVER have the same level as everyone else in here, you will never accomplish anything!! GET OUT OF MY CLASS I DONT WANT TO SEE you in here anymoree!! GET OUT!!” (I almost cried infront of everyone but I didnt... I was shaking) I left snd I never came back. From that day I just went to the library on that class period and I gave up art for like 5 years... until one day I saw a youtuber and I started drawing again. Even tho I have been drawing from scratch all over again... I’m progressing and I’m becoming better little by little. Dont let anyone stinguish you internal fire, ignite that passion and keep burning not matter what (: I’m proving I can be an Artist too... I hope one day she can look at my DevianArt account and realizes what I can do... until then I will keep doing my best, from there and beyond. NEVER give up on what you love!! Cause life without it its too empty. Ps: I lovee your art, I love how you made the details! (:

[@derpyranchufish8696]

[@myumyu1644]

Anime doesn't even have one standard style that goes along with it! I've seen so many different animes with different art styles, so it really upsets me when someone comments on anime being a bad drawing style - "anime" is not confined to one style.

[@XLRBoss]

Anime is gay tho, and people dont like gay anime.

[@sharklostworld]

All anime looks the exact fucking same to me. The only one that looks different is One Punch Man, and that's because it looks like they're trying (and failing) to replicate Rick and Morty's art style.

[@mslaughter2821]

Yes, thank you! Anime is just as varied as any other animation style. Besides, with the lengths modern art took to push the boundaries of what can be defined as art, it's ridiculous to say that any anime-influenced pieces can't be "artistic"

[@AifosViruset]

Shark Lostworld I'm not going to try to argue with you about if all anime looks the same or not, you seem to have made up your mind. But I must ask why you think one punch man reminds you of rick and morty? I don't see any specific similarities. To me the movement is especially dissimilar. Rick and morty has that distinct 2D feel to it that comes with flash animation (etc) while one punch man uses fish eye-like distortion in high tention moments (like the manga eyeshield 21 by the same artist). I'm interested in what makes you make that connection, because it seems kind of random to me.

[@vsuyao]

maybe the anime you heard about sounded gay or looked gay

I was on the brink of tears,as I was so excited to draw a dragon, as I drew pokemon and dragons in my free time. And then, I saw the kid the teacher loved (he drew a tree,and she kissed up to it a ton. He was arrogant and thought he was the new Leonardo Da Vinci) draw a dragon with pokemon style eyes, and she said "Oh -----! I love your dragon, it is so creative and stuff"(he drew a generic fire dragon, I drew a cloud dragon with bows and angel wings.

She tore me down a lot and made me feel bad about my self and she always said that i draw anime when i don't its more of a cartoon style. She shatterd my confidence.

I have an art teacher, and she does not like my art style to the point where she erases my works that I've been so proud of creating, I'm still trying to deal with this problem, I'm trying to explain my art style is what makes me unique. but when I say that stuff she laughs at me and says I'm wrong. I've spent 6 years drawing and I am finally proud of my works, I finally take pride in what I do, buut, I have my art teacher who is trying to make me switch from my style to realistic..I have a problem with realistic because it's expected and most artists do it, and that dosnt dosnt make them unique. I'm struggling a lot and I'm pondering if I should just quit art all together because of this preassure, I have my teachers voice in my head saying "that's too anime, that needs to be rounder, that needs to be longer" and when I finish my piece it's like a four year old drew it, my style and realistic styles don't mix and I'm having a hard time with that if you want to see my art you can check my instagram (I'm not trying to self promote I swear) and give me feedback on what I should do and change its @peached.t my best friend who is trying to help me get through this sent me the link to this video saying "SHOW OUR ART TEACHER THIS" and I think I will

I CHEcked your instagram and your art is actually really nice i'm gonna follow you when i get a chance to login ;O

[@idlethoughts8352]

Hmm. If you'll consider one stranger's recommendation. Perhaps for one of your pieces in art, you can consider the general feeling towards your art style -- like all the reasons why your teacher may think it is subpar or sophomoric... then you could put together one single composition where your art style becomes ironic due to your thematic intent. I usually perceive anime art as carefree, almost as if the subject is unrelatable and below me. Perhaps you could represent that. Whether it be showing ignorance to real life issues, to expressing something as pretentious yet fundamentally impure, or whatever you can think of. Maybe something where you can have a piece where you differentiate two art styles, one anime, and one a tad more realistic, and use those to associate a disconnect between a romanticized idea and its reality. Either way, if you choose to go this path, afterwards you could take a few moments to explain to your teacher what you tried to accomplish with this piece, the message that you angled to express, and exactly how the use of your vaunted art style has aided you in achieving that message. Also, be sure to thank your friend for all the support he/she has given you, I can't help but feel like they are thinking about everything they can do to help you work through this problem. Be sure that they feel appreciated.

[@breannathompson9094]

Sollux Captor its good to know your style and to further develop it but despite liking that, ask any artist, you need to know how to do realistic things. Not expertly or anything but just as like a guideline to help further your own unique style. You have to know the generic realistic to be able to break out of the generic back into your unique style, if that makes sense. For example I really like cartoon drawing but I had to learn realistic before I could get better as an artist in my cartoons.

[@samalarcon8707]

Never in my life have I heard as ridiculous a statement as "because he uses references, he couldn't draw from imagination". Using reference, in other words, referring to reality as a way to build your visual library, is critical to ANY aspiring artist who wants to become great. Everything that is fictional or imagined (even in the most cartoony works imaginable) is in some way based upon the things we see in real life, and in order to make up your own stuff, you have to understand where it comes from and how it behaves, REFERRING to that as much as possible. Any good (or even legendary) Disney animator will tell you this, and some of the most talented artists in the world (no matter their style), after years and years of studies and real life references to build their visual library, will also tell you this. And I'd like to think that these great artists are a heck of a lot better than some discouraging high school art teacher. Nuff' said.

[@xxfrosty609xx3]

Sam Alarcon true

[@ghostofpolaris]

Sam Alarcon It is sad but it happens. I had an art teacher who did this to someone I knew too. It was horrible. Because everyone made art from some type of reference. It's like telling a painter they cannot use people or nature as references- the way most paintings originally started.

There's this teacher who really hates me in biology. (yes I know, it's not art XD) She would normally accuse me of doing something I'm not doing, and forcing me to get out of the classroom and work somewhere else. Since her voice was so loud, I got intimidated and so were my friends. One day, when I was having my 'scolding' time, a girl I saw in the cafeteria, came and stood up for me. Instead, she got the 'scolding' time and I was free! We soon became friends and drew some art together (yes now I'm talking about art XD) but the sad thing is, my friends had gone through the same thing I got. The funny thing is, the principal came in while she was 'scolding' one of my friends. It was really, the best moment in my life. She was soon fired and we had this superrrrr sweet biology teacher in replacement. What a small world.

[@user-pc3lg8tf3q]

That still doesn't justify squashing a student's creativity.

[@StephonZeno]

You're squashing yourself when you don't do anything outside of your comfort zone.

[@user-pc3lg8tf3q]

You could make that argument for any art style, but I don't see any art teachers getting fed up with seeing too much still life and not enough anime. It should be their job to make an environment that welcomes any kind of creativity and nurtures growth in whichever form it may take. Not judge their students because their artistic passion doesn't match what the teacher thinks "real art" is.

[@mercyfromoverwatch]

I have to go through the same thing with some of my teachers. For example, my drama teacher HATES me just because i'm shy, and took the class to get over my stage fright. She constantly picks on me, and then we had an assignment in which we had to sing a segment from our favorite song. I chose Bittersweet Tragedy by Melanie Martinez. I was surprisingly good at it, and from that day on she failed me on purpose. I ended up reporting her to the principal, and it turns out, she had done this before, and was fired, because she literally destroyed people's dreams. Please, PLEASE, do NOT let one person, or multiple people's words affect YOUR future, because if they say that to you, they're most likely jealous of your AMAZING talents. :)

i once had an art teacher in 4th grade that would grab you violently by the arms (it did leave marks on some kids) if you didnt/couldnt do what SHE wanted. The same year she "retired" but really the school fired her because the parents told the school about her. And the next art teacher we had didnt care about anything, she just sat at her desk on her phone while most people in class were: yelling, running, throwing paint palettes, throwing erasers, throwing pencils, writing cuss words on the white board and then erasing them, and so on.... And the kids that were good were always in the middle of the chaos because the "bad" kids targeted them and the teacher didnt care! Then i went into sixth grade and the art teacher encourages us and actually teaches :D

This is actually really encouraging for me. When I was in middle school, I wanted to get into art. My bother was extremely good, and I honestly looked up to him. I still do. At first my teacher seemed to be really nice. She guided us with everything we were doing. But as time grew on, she stopped teaching us even. She never helped us when we needed it. And then criticized us when we did something wrong. Then with even more time we were no longer doing art. We just did computer based assignments. I never took an art class again after that year. But seeing you, and how far you have come since your time, I see how giving up on art was a mistake. Thank you for that.

The picture you drew is amazing, I love it! And art teachers, huh... I had similar experiences. Maybe not that bad since they never said they'll fail me, but they also never encouraged me. I was always told that "anime is not art". My middle school art teacher was also music teacher (she was mostly interested in music) and she wasn't at all interested in helping me improve. I was just starting at drawing for serious, my art sucked, my proportions were horrible and I didn't receive even a single piece of advice about it, had to slowly figure out stuff by myself. I did copy some pictures, but mostly drew from imagination, which made progress painfully slow as I tried to figure stuff out and to apply it to MY way of drawing xD My high school art teacher was even worse. After first class I loved her. She talked about all this stuff how being creative is great, how she has an art club we can attend, how we even have "art journal" monthly assignment which meant I could doodle all I wanted and get grades for it! Awesome, right? Nope. I started attending her art club, I tried different stuff for assignment, tried to slowly improve and hoped I'll get some good advice. And then she saw my drawings and I heard "If you're serious about art, don't draw anime". I was like, really? REALLY? You talk about creativity and all, and then you say one style is not ok? Slowly I lost all respect I had for her. During art club and class she was never really interested in me, she mostly loved 2 other girls. One liked to draw but did it rarely, but it was, according to teacher, real art, so of course she wanted to guide her into art related future (even though she never wanted to go to art school). But both of them looked like artsy girls. I was just plain, always wearing jeans, t-shirt and ponytail introvert. Everyone knew that it's me who draws all the time and always carry sketchbook everywhere, but it didn't matter, cause I draw "anime". She only gave advice when I drew something realistic, like hand practice, never could get advice about proportions, so again, I had to improve by myself, always thinking that it'll always be a hobby and I can't go to any art school. I didn't. I got scared that I can't do portfolio, I can't do a lot of stuff needed for art school and I'm just hobbyist who likes to doodle. I don't really regret it, I like my uni major and if I could even get into art school it could be even worse or I just wouldn't get in... I still draw when I have time and I think I improved a lot, but I still have this mindset that it's just a hobby, I could never be a pro, that I can't learn everything needed for being a pro, so I just draw for myself. I heard a few times from friends that I could make money with my drawings, but I always give up, don't know where to start and end up doing nothing with it. Because "I'm not real artist". I know it's wrong, it's not like that, but I still end up getting scared, thinking that if I tried I'd just hear that I suck, that nobody would pay me and people would laugh at me for trying. I post my art in instagram, but I could never bring myself to make a facebook page so people who know me would see my art, I could never make any post about commissions even though I planned a lot of times to do it. But I end up backing away and just drawing for myself, thinking up excuses why I can't do it, say I don't have time because of studying, that I can't draw this or that. I can't really see myself having future in art, even when I look at my drawings and thing "damn, it's awesome!", I still feel I'm not good enough and can't make myself think otherwise. It's irrational, I know that something COULD happen if I tried, that it won't happen if I won't try, but I can't help it.

[@behlding]

Natalia J By the sounds of it, it's the teachers fault for this outcome. I'm probably just gonna keep art as a hobby, but you sound like you have talent. If your simply not ready it's understandable, but I'm pretty sure people want to see what your gifted hands can do. I just have to say do what you want, but by the sound of it, your beyond capable of it. You can and could do it, just make sure you don't drown in drawings like I did in elementary :P.

[@nicholaswilcher4838]

Natalia J you can be an amazing artist while thinking its just a hobby i just do it as a hobby because it stresses me out to have a deadline and pushes me away from drawing but its all about a mental block if you beleive you can get there you can THE ONLY way you can lose is if you give up you can lose if the games not over

Is because she really isn't an artistic genius, she draws very well but there are artist that is simply mind blowing, like "ilya kuvshinov" or "Sakimichan" but everybody have their style and I think everyone is the best drawing on their style (sorry for my bad english)

[@TamaoMizuki]

It depends if you find her art amazing or not, a lot of artists don't find their own art good enough so that's why we can hear that a lot from them.

I am in 8th grade and the Middle School art teacher told me I had a unique style and was very outgoing with my artist pieces. When we had to make a "fish vessel" out of clay (it was just a thumb bowl with two fish on the side) but I sculpted the head and tail individually and I was still done before everyone else.

[@LadyHawke78]

I relate to this story so much. My high school art teacher... HE HATED ME even though I was one of the better artists in my class. Not because I drew in a Disney/anime type style. Nope. It was ALL because my sister was good friends with a woman he got in trouble for sleeping with she was a student of his... NO JOKE!! 😂😂😂 One of my good friends got into AP art though, so I lived vicariously through her. And I STILL got a few freelance contracts after college. So sometimes things work themselves out. 😊👍🏼

[@Fukagamine]

I don't get why people hate the manga style but not the western cartoon style. It's even less proportionate than manga. Most cartoon characters look waaayyy too anorexic! Why isn't that criticized more than manga?

[@mao7859]

Because no one draws in that art style in art class, if they did they would immediately fail

[@seashell9570]

You guys are wrong. I'm assuming most of you guys live in America or a country that is not where Anime originates. The reason why art teachers don't want you to draw in the anime art style is because, if you don't live in Eastern countries and you want to get a career in art, drawing anime will get you nowhere. This is because the animation style or art style of the western world is VERY different from the eastern art style, and if you were to keep the anime art style that you are comfortable drawing in then ultimately you would not succeed professionally in the art or animation industry because you would not be able to get a job. Like I said the art style in western countries is different from the art style in the eastern countries where anime does not originate, so if you continued drawing in the anime art style you might be able to live off of commissions, but no one would hire you for a professional job due to your at style. That is, if you don't want to move to the Eastern Countries, you probably won't get a professional career in Western art or animation.

[@likeanuuk6612]

[@karuno9721]

Seashell That doesn't make sense for normal school tho, not every kid wants to be an artist, kids have art class in elementary school already, you can't blame a kid for drawing anime art for the reason you just pointed out. But in art school it's different of course but people in art school are people who actually do want to work art as a career.

[@ninjadanimo4141]

Magicalamity anime is art but most anime and manga art forms do not follow the teachings of school principle in art class, if you shown an art teacher manga or anime art that you drew on your own, they would probably tell you that you have a talent for “surreal “ art. However, there are some art puritans that hate anime or manga because of that. It really comes down to the teacher’s opinion on that kind of cartoon drawing.

[@cheekysaurus17]

My art teacher made me fall out of love with art, it's taken 6 years for me to finally try again. 100% feel this!

[@240subscribersandnovideosf5]

I think the reason why art teachers may despise "anime" styles is because if you are a person who is into that specific style, then it's probable that you will do only that style. Cartoons can be very disproportioned in comparison to realism, and often don't require the basics of art (e.g. shading, texture, etc.). Doing only cartoon-style drawings is treading a very dangerous path if you don't know what you're doing, as it can lead to slower progression and odd art pieces. It's good to try different styles other than classical cartoons. They are good for getting down the basics, line art, basic proportions (if you draw more "realistic" cartoons), precision, getting an idea of what your style is, basic shading, and so on. However, they won't get you far. But don't misunderstand my point! If you stick to only one style (only hyperrealism, realism, surrealism, impressionism, etc.), then the same will happen to all; you will only be good at what is required for that style. I agree that what your teachers did was overboard, and they should be fired. However, some do have a fair point (I'm not referring to your teachers). Be diverse; try different perspectives, styles, objects, landscapes, light sources, etc. Only then will you be a more well-rounded artist. Yes, do what you love to do. But, don't forget to try new things. Then again, I'm just a random person on the Internet that does painting for a hobby. You don't have to listen to me.

[@frank2654]

Thank you

[@verdantina]

they didn't tell her not to draw cartoons, and even recommended her to draw a disney style instead if she felt inclined to draw animation. their hatred of anime is pure ethnocentrism at best and racism at worst. not all artists are required to draw, or even be good at, fine art, and a good percentage of artists make a career as illustrators based on their own style. there's absolutely nothing that obligates you to be a "well-rounded" artist, and there are few artists who are exceptional at all things. most artists have a specific niche where they shine, and if that's illustration, there's nothing wrong with that. in my experience, it is extremely rare to find an artist who is exceptional at anime but unskilled at everything else. an artist shouldn't draw with the purpose of fulfilling other people's sensibilities of what "art" is.

[@audacious-sama8310]

I agree! I do all types of art, but I am especially passionate about manga/anime styles! I think it's good to be well-roinded and to practice all styles. :)

[@GrippyGoth]

My female art teacher didn't really care as long as we turned something in to her in honors art. My male honors art teacher though didn't like manga or anime and told me that I shouldn't. He was reasonable though, he sat me down and explained to me that to be an artist you have to have a style (pieces of you that come out in your work) so it would frustrate him to see me draw in such a mass-produced art style (which it honestly is made for mass production and uniformity for quick panels and stuff) when I could be finding my own voice through my art. Which I was drawing like a mangaka at the time, he really helped me not narrow myself into a corner, not be afraid to use references and just grow as an artist and not just get stuck in my manga/anime bubble. I only wish that digital art was around back then, then I feel like I would have made him much more proud of me by really showing him what I can do with color. I'm a graphite and ebony artist traditionally so it's just a whole lot of shading. With a digital brush though I can really make it pop which I'm really fond of now.

Now THIS is how all teachers should do to get students to branch out, instead of being a dick and belittling the student

[@amandadenning2220]

I have a friend that likes to draw The Lion King fan art, yet she struggles at times and can only draw a few poses, or basically copies another persons artwork and redraws it as her OC. I have encouraged her to try to draw a real lion and utilize what she learned from the real lion to her OC, Such as being able to draw more poses and be able to draw more from her head rather than relying on someone's art. Since when you are copying someone else's art, you are also copying their mistakes. I am not against her drawing Lion King fan art, I want to help her be able to draw better in her favorite style. She just shuts me out and say that I don't like her art, or going to a deep hole and says "That she should quit because she sucks anyway." reason why I am trying to teach her things I have been taught in High school was because she often gets frustrated when things don't turn out just right, and throws away her art, making the situation worse. She also been put down by some members in her fandom for her bad habits of copying other's art. Is there anything you would do, to try to encourage a student with these difficulties, to develop more skills so she could draw her OC in her favorite style in any pose she wants, and to break bad habits she developed such as pressing too hard on a pencil for the initial line drawing? (causing the lines harder to erase if she makes a mistake?)

[@hadiyasameen5461]

the first thing I did, when I drew lions, I searched up pictures of Nala, (since she didn't have a mane,) In different poses and copied them. then I made up poses and drew them lightly. I made tweaks of my own, such as claws or smaller ears. Then I drew in the details. Sometimes It wasn't very detailed. Its really just my own style

[@amandadenning2220]

@@hadiyasameen5461 Thanks, she does similar things, but presses on the pencil far too hard. If she did so lightly, get her picture the way she wants it, then she could go back in and bold the lines

[@asiu19]

let me tell you, you sound like a good friend for trying to help her develeop a better understanding of her art. And it sound like you are already trying as much as you can, your way of approaching how she should work on her art style is well thought out. But I have the feeling sometimes some people are a bit thick headed and almost need to run into a wall to stop and see, that they can only go so far with their attitude. But maybe she just doesn't want to admit she needs the help. I would try and maybe get an art book of disney with only/mostly artwork from the lion king, maybe even together with an animal book about lions and give her that under the guise of "inspiration" for her characters or since "she likes lions so much". She probably doesn't want to hear that she needs to practice in order to be less frustrated with her drawing abilities. Maybe, if you give her the tools, she will herself get courius enough and try it herself. And if she has a favorite art site, there are often art tutorials, even on pinteres, for certain art styles, including Disney. On the issue of "pressing down too hard", I once heard the hint to grab the pen/pencil/medium as far from the tip as possible, since it makes it harder to push down too hard, as the lead will likely break beforehand^^" Other than that, having a relaxed hand and making soft motions instead of hard ones. If she tends to push too hard because of frustration, maybe breaks with meditation excercises or breathing practice, to calm down.

This reminds me so much of my current art teacher in middle school. She has a funky attitude and she's very sassy. The first time I stepped into the classroom she immediately had a disliking to me. I tried being as polite as I could, offered her some help after school, and asked her for some help sometimes. However, when I ask for help she always gives me this reply; "Why don't you go ask one of your friends?" Yet when someone comes up to her she answers the question. I'm a big fan of anime. Some of my friends are as well. She gave me a C- for a unicorn that I drew with anime eyes and I thought it was pretty majestic. But she put an A+ on my friends project. I decided to put up with it until my Mom had a conference with her and had a disliking to her when she finished. I just have to put up with her for one more year, and then I'll be free.
