[Intro plays]
Back in high school. I had this art teacher [we'll] call her Miss Holly
[and] she was not a fan of anime let alone the anime art style. She wasn't a grouch or anything
I guess she was just loyal to the traditional art styles. I on the other hand loved anime still do today
It was literally the reason I got into drawing and art and without it. I might not be where I am today, [so]
[Freshman] year new school New Year new me blah blah blah
and I chose art as an elective course
I was excited to prove myself and show everyone [my] talent because I practiced so [much] and
Didn't want to keep it all to myself
One of our tasks was to draw in our sketchbook every day
Didn't matter what it was as long [as] we put some sort of effort into it I
Showed her my drawing. It was a sketch [of] an anime character
With her annoyingly nasally voice she said oh
Anime, huh, it's good, but I'm not really a fan of the style. I mean, how did they even get their hair like that?
What?
She doesn't like my art
Okay, first of all being an art teacher
Isn't it your responsibility?
To kind of encourage your students regardless of how they choose to visually express their work
the whole Basis of why I chose the elective was so I could step away from the objectiveness of the other courses
and have the freedom to practice my talents
granted I know certain art projects require certain discretions when it comes to styles
but we're talking about a personal Sketchbook here and
Okay, I admit. I was a naive kid and my mistake was that I felt
I needed the validation of an adult simply because I believed she had more experience and
Was therefore assumed that her skill [level] was our goal to emulate
Whatever [anyway] throughout, the whole year she would continue her anime criticisms and continue to try to convert me like okay palpatine
But near the end [of] the school year [I] got this
opportunity
you see my school was actually brand new at the time and we were the first generation of students to inhabit it and at the
End of every [year]. What book is made to represent the memories of the past year?
the Yearbook
Actually, it was miss holly who brought it up to me
she said the Yearbook committee required a cover design and she came to me
To design it this was my chance
This was my opportunity
[I] don't even think I did my homework that night it. It wasn't important. My pride was at stake
I spent the whole night on it
But as I made it as I was sketching out the roughs and drawing concepts
I felt like my style was changing as I drew it out. I kept hearing that nagging voice in my head
That's too anime
What's happening to me?
The next day I gave her my design
Looking back at it [hind] side [wise] but I think it looks horrible
Because you can see my internal struggle with trying to maintain my passion, but also my conflict with trying to please Miss Holly
She approved it
I had designed my high school's first Yearbook cover
Half of me was so proud to [have] been part of the history in the making
But the other part of me felt like I just betrayed the leaf village due to the seductions of Miss Hollychimaru
But the deed was done
There was no turning back
the following year
I took art again except miss holly wasn't the art teacher that time she was on Maternity leave
The new teacher will call her miss banff became one of my favorite teachers
She was this young hip woman who you could tell has been through some things, but those experiences nevertheless
I molded her into an amazing person
I respected her and she
Respected my drawing style
From that point on I [never] let anyone discourage me from drawing what I wanted to draw
I mean, I have to take constructive Criticism here, and there of course that's necessary in the art world
But I loved anime as a kid and I still do today
it's the reason I learned to draw and the reason why I continued [to] draw I
Kept with my passions and followed my dreams and look where I ended up
So eat it, [Miss] Holly
