Is this your first time drawing? Okay. Well, I can’t really judge. You’re an adult, and I started drawing in second grade. Kids don’t even learn about shading right away; they just color everything in solid. Their teachers basically show and explain everything in detail, as if they were dealing with people with Down syndrome.
I’m currently teaching kids how to draw with brushstrokes. It’s a nightmare. I always knew it was easy. Just easy. But now I have to explain it to 6-year-olds. I feel like an idiot myself. We take a brush and dip it in the paint, like this, like that, and then they just dab it on. What a bunch of idiots, haha.

Bring Me The Horizon - Pray For Plagues

Well, it's like the first time. I drew a bunny for you, for example x)
And in general, I used to copy various things. From pictures. Drawn ones. But I don same not think I ever drew real things in real space.
I copied shadows once too x) exactly as they were drawn on the picture.

And here the teacher helped me out. Well, just scribbled some shadows a bit. I shaded the cone myself; he even said it looked like straw there o.o

I'm teaching the little ones how to paint with brushstrokes now. It's a nightmare. I always knew it was easy. Just simple. But here you have to get through to 6-year-old kids. I feel like an idiot, damn. "Kids, let's take the brush and dip it on the paper, just liiike thiiiis, liiike thiiiis," and then a blob appears. Such an idiot x))

I don't get it, where are you teaching them? Do you work as a teacher in an art school or what?)

This isn't a school or an art class. It's an art studio. Well, it's kind of like an art class, but for little kids. There's a room, and there are a lot of kids. Small ones. And they draw. And they run and jump. And I'm there in an apron and a headscarf, with brushes in my hands, playing tag with them, then I get them to sit down, and we draw, we laugh, and that's it. And then I move on. To university and all that.

So, you work there, right?

System(x)Failure - Happiness (Imaris version)

Orphaned Land – From Broken Vessels

Orphaned Land - A'salk

Reamonn - Supergirl

This is the song of my teenage years.

So, you work there, right?

Yeah, I do. But it's probably not because of the money, haha. They don't pay much there. It's just the only job that doesn't make me want to sleep; it's dynamic and allows me to learn without any problems. I even have three days off a week.

Instead of studying, you're teaching kids how to draw? That's unbelievable. How are you going to pass your exams?

Blackmore's Night - Play Minstrel Play

Oh my god, Imaris showed up and wondered how it's possible to work and study at the same time)))
It's pretty normal. You just go to the professor and tell them you're working, that's it. They give you the questions for the exam, you get the lecture notes from your classmates, and you only come for the exam. But that's an extreme case; I manage to do most of the work.
Although, honestly, I'm already tired of rewriting the lectures. And copying is a pain. There are 7 pages of incomprehensible notes because the lecturers just keep talking, and you can barely keep up, and the subjects are difficult. But I'm even happy that I skip their lectures because my hand just gets numb. Everyone is complaining. On the other hand, it's better to write it yourself than to sit with textbooks later and add terminology. It's quite specific.
In general, it's not a problem if needed. But it's better to study. I just want to work.

Well, I thought students manage to keep up without any issues. I mean, they attend classes, not missing or barely missing any, you know.
I personally don't like missing or skipping classes.

Also, we have some kind of rating system at the university, where you have to attend seminars, for example, because even if you write all the tests and pass the session, you still won't get enough points. Or, I don't know, how it's set up. Actually, no one really uses this system (they say that last year, the teachers didn't care about it, and they introduced the system just last year), so everything is fine, haha.

And you don't have to take notes during lectures. The main thing is to find a hardworking friend with good handwriting and use them to photocopy their notebook >:3
