[vent] indignant
I'm sorry if you guys hate seeing this side of me.
I;m sorry. Please glaze over this, I just needed some place to vent.
in·dig·nant
/inˈdignənt/
Adjective
Feeling or showing anger or annoyance at what is perceived as unfair treatment.
Synonyms
resentful - angry
I am so sick of people being upset over the LITTLEST things and making it take a hold of them. Making them, apparently suffer when you're the key word: YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE TO MAKE YOURSELF SUFFER.
I'm sorry but my school has a good art program for those who want to be artists. I'm learning so much. My only issue is the environment, the people. But I'm not going to let that fuel my hate and anger just cause I have to be angry at people who I never get to see everyday, only every other day. that doesn't mean YOU should tell me to leave school or generalize and say school doesn't help me.
School is only a tool to help you get better, if you're willing to learn. And I'm more than willing. If you're going to be stupid in school of course you're not going to learn anything. Stupid. So very stupid. If you're suffering cause of school, don't make other people suffer, idiot.
But what I'm angry at the most. The thing that makes me wanna punch the wall, that makes me incredibly indignant. Is that I'm angry at the pain inside of me. I feel betrayed. And this has nothing to do with school, or being told school is useless, it's just the fact that I feel like no one in this place even recognizes how legitimate my drawings are sometimes.
Everyone around here looks for art that amazes or does something shocking or ahwtever like that's what supposed to define art. When I make art, I want people to understand it, to be happy, sad, or maybe even human. I cartoon, cause it's breaking things down into simple shapes, but also takes the viewer into a simpler place. But it's also embarassing. To be a cartoonist.
Going into art meets, people look at me like I'm some joke. Cause I always cut the jokes and am almost never serious. I hate being serious all the time, and people don't like that I'm smiling all the time.
But the core point of this is, there's this studio in town, wanting to get as much artists as they can. I want to be a part of it because they're looking for cartoonists, comic artists, etc. It's everything I wanted to be a part of. Stuff I wanted to do. But then my sister joins it. And she was always telling me how mural art and traditional art is more legit. All these years and that she wants to be an art therapist. Now suddenly she wants to be a illustration artist. After establishing herself as a dog portrait and human portrait artist.
She won't let me be a part of this studio. Because apparently I'm not skilled enough. Cause I haven't the classes she does. Even though I have a portfolio ready and stuff. And then she wants to make her friend join this studio. One who freaking draws anatomy straight from the anatomy book and doesn't have her own original style. Who disses people who make fan art. Who disses cartooning and thinks people who do digital art are trash.
I don't understand.
I feel like I know a lot more than those two and it's just like, they put a wall in front of me and treat me like I barely know anything.
And it's just all these years of this stupidity. Like, they would shun and talk hella shit on me. Saying that I don't know anything, saying that I wanted to steal that girl who hates fanart's crush.
And because of that, I was always alone in school. Because my sister left me. And now I feel like it's a slap in the face because SUDDENLY she likes the things I like to do. Only because NOW it's big in the art industry. Becuase the things she does could only take her so far.
And now I feel angry and upset. And not I have to work harder than I have ever worked to show them all up. To show them I could be better than they thought I was. To show that I could do it.
I;m sorry. Please glaze over this, I just needed some place to vent.

Man im sorry to hear about that. sorry i haven't introduced myself but you may call me Enzo but as i saw this vent picture in your scraps i decided to read the whole rant. I too want to become a Cartoonist and want to become quite original without always following anatomy from the books and stuff. i also agree on the stuff about how school is something that is very important if you're willing to learn. Even though i have not enjoyed school because of the homework and school work i still agree school is something quite important. Im most likely going to be a self taught cartoonist and not get into school since im not interested in getting back in school and doing work all over... aside from myself i hope you get into that class you want to get in!.. or was it studio? laters~
Hello Enzo, I'm Rev!
First,
Don't take me wrong; Art school, or at least being an art student in a college is what you make it.
This is a mega old rant.
But I still stand by some points:
-You need to learn the basics in order to get somewhere in animation or illustration.
What I mean by this is big name studios won't hire you if you have a portfolio with doodles that don't even seem strong.
If you're really wanting to be self taught, at least know what you need to learn and learn what resources you really need. Anatomy helps with making your characters move. If you understand how bodies flex, then you can successfully distort body parts to make them feel fluid. Same thing with lighting, it's something you need to practice!
Here's someone I admire who went to animation college and got bollocks out of it BUT he knows what you need in order to make it:
http://oneyng.tumblr.com/post/54440.....is-it-worth-it
-The thing good about school is you have all these resources available to you!
Paying 42k a sem. is pretty shitty for me. However, my teachers loan me free software, books, guides, loan you stuff to work with if you ask. Professors are pretty cool, and you also get friends you can learn stuff from. You see a lot of styles and it's a lot to take out of.
(It's almostt 1am here so I'm tired.)
I'm still going to college mainly because I know if I didn't, my family would force me to work/disown me/still force me to go to school.
I hate it but you know school does bridge you to professonal artists who are teachers.
For example, my illustration teacher is making us work with a commissioner who might pay us $300!
But I think the main reason I typed this rant long ago was because my sister was being a jerk. And then she wanted to be a cartoonist so she can only have a ton of money. She's like playing off of my dream and stealing it, (she still is now).
But yeah, don't worry about me... I'm sure things will be okay soon!

Im sorry but i didnt read your whole comment because i realized you assumed im trying to get into a company? Im not planing to get into animation as a career. As i said im not going to college. I dont have the money to do so and im not planing to stress or lift a finger to get financial help to pay for school or even a class only for art and animation. i know whats required if i plan to get into this career but at the moment im 100 percent positive that i want to animate on the side for fun while working in an average joe minimum wage job. it would be nice to get youtube famous and yes i know getting famous for an actual television cartoon would be better but right now im not feeling ready yet... sorry to burst you bubble. :/
Ah sorry. When you said cartoonist I thought like, real time on a contract, going to a studio cartoonist. (I'm really tired so its sometimes hard to thibk straight)
But the whole point of the comment was just you dont really need a school to get anywhere, it does help a lot in some cases but for some maybe its just having a strong portfolio.
Im not for art schools and im also not against them; they cost way too much and the debt is really hard to pay off.
And its cool, I'm just trying to fit somewhere I guess.
But its hard to, especially in a town that doesnt even respect cartooning or art in general.
I know im not getting into that studio in question.
But im mostly looking for places that would take my stuff.
