  I was once told western Disney-like animation was better than anything anime could do in my high school animation course. My counter argument was basically: “yutaka nakamura exists”

  I always say that your education doesn't begin or end when you're in class. If your teacher or professor doesn't want you to draw anime art or fanart for their class, then you should go home and draw anime art and fanart for yourself.

  I remember an art teacher saying &quot;look, i know you want to draw anime, but if you don&apos;t learn proportions how are you going to experiment with MODIFYING proportions? You&apos;ll end up stuck with what you know and never improve&quot;<br><br>It took me a while to stop hating her, but I&apos;m glad i heard her tbh. She didnt want me to stop drawing my way, but to learn perspectives and improve, maybe use these new things i learned on my stylised art later.

  Art is art. As long as it&apos;s not AI generated, it&apos;s not an issue.

  Did you know? Vincent van Gogh got really inspired by Japanese art OF HIS TIME to a weeb level. If I got inspired by Louvre-featured artist Hirohiko Araki, screw you, I’m the real high art appreciator.

  If an art teacher tells you to not draw anime... Tell them that the anime, Jojo&apos;s Bizarre Adventure, was featured at the Louvre Museum... The same Louvre that houses the Mona Lisa.

  One of my old art teachers. She liked all kinds of art, anime, fan-art, realism, she used to say that art isn&apos;t one style.

  My teacher told me once that I should never study art if I want to have a job as an artist or designer or something similar. He said that art schools don&apos;t teach you how to draw art in a way that would help you out in a modern day world where art could be a part of your job, but that they teach art &quot;history&quot; and the understanding of art in the past, which is not something what someone can use to earn money.<br><br>He too was once an artist, studying art but got crushed by his own teachers because he wanted to learn art as a means of making money. Therefore he instead became a teacher to catch future artist and set the record straight by warning them about art schools and that those who want to earn money shall learn how to teach themselves art by going through the internet and learning from other successful artist of their own times and not from artist of the past.

  Art teachers can be the worst.<br>I remember one in particular… she was kind of insane.<br>First she told us to copy a photo (not even a painting, an actual <b>photograph!)</b> and then color it however we’re feeling right now. It was.. somewhat interesting? But then she legit went around class making suggestions as to which colors would be better!<br>The “best” part? I used nothing but basic pencil for it, just shading stuff because I really like black and white aesthetic. She came up to me and <b>demanded</b> that I use colored pencils, too. Naturally, I told her “You said to do it based on how we’re feeling.” Her response? “You CAN’T be feeling like this!”<br>It was both hurtful, because how dare you, but also kind of funny because.. how does one actually say something that stupid with a straight face?

  From my high school classes, I was supeeeer scared to draw anime in College. A lot of my college peers drew it, but I thought I couldn&apos;t for whatever reason. One day though one of my teachers was really supportive. He actually listened to where I wanted to go in art, which was storytelling mediums, such as manga, webtoon, etc... Which you know, stylization makes a lot of sense in those mediums. He even let me borrow Scott McCloud&apos;s Understanding Comics. He was my favorite art teacher, and I always will remember him.
