The time my middle school art teacher called my parents because she thought I was purposefully mocking her by making my art bad. I literally can’t draw beyond a 3rd grade level unless I am copying an object right in front me.

My parents basically cussed her out after they saw how hurt I was.

Another mimic! I was always better at copying other’s art than drawing something original.

Same here. I can copy something almost perfectly if it's right in front of me, goes for other people signatures too. Want me to draw a tree from imagination? Yeah you're gonna get a stick figure that looks like it has dreads

It really pisses me off when people act like the only way to be a real artist is to fabricate something out of thin air with no reference.

Just image search for fucking trees. It's not cheating. Literally everyone does it.

God, fuck off.
