No wonder people look sideways when you tell them 'i'm taking art.'

Kill me, people.
PLEASE.
I've been struggling with my first h2 art piece for at least 2 hours andddd, i've only completed 5 grids out of 20. With only partial rendering and shading.
Miserably forced to take note of the minute details and SUPER FINE LINES, plus the dark and light sides of the photo. (When, the photograph doesn't clearly show the shades.)
!@#!@##$%^!@#@!#
What's the first assignment?
Take a photo of yourself in different angles and do a portrait.
Usage of grids and only pencils.
It would have been a lot easier if i used the less unglam shot of me. Buttt, the freaking printer just wouldn't work for MY FACE and the printed shot of my portrait burned twice in the printer. There was even smoke.
Didn't know what caused it.
The teachers were baffled and instead of getting the less unglam one, which meant less drawing and less time-consuming, the other printer was used and hey presto, (I HAD TO DO THE UNGLAM PICTURE BECAUSE THE PRINTER CHOSE TO SHUT DOWN AT THE PRECISE MOMENT AND IT JUST WOULD NOT WORK IN MY FAVOUR.)
*Yelps* THE PREJUDICE IT HOLDS AGAINST MEEE.
i swear, i tell you, i will use my adidas sneakers and bang against that stupid, old photocopier printer the moment i have the chance. And when there're print marks all over it, i'll make sure i tell everyone it was me.
LOUSY, USELESS PRINTER.
Okay, enough of that. Its not the fault of that piece of thrashy, metal junk that's got me ranting anyway.
IT'S THE FACT THAT ART DOESN'T SEEM AS EASY AS IT LOOKS.
Hell 1: 12 extra practical sessions per week
Hell 2: Almost everyone takes o level art which leaves me on a what? Basic art? i'm completely out of their league. (Meaning to say the art terms they use, eg. a light table.)
Hell 3: ALL assignments are graded. 'I repeat,
ALL.'
Hell 4: Why didn't you take art in o'lvl?
Because, i always thought i wasn't good enough. (Of course, no one knows this reason.)
YES, HELL 4 is like this faulty siren that has to go on until its battery life dies out and everyone goes deaf. Whenever i see some new, weird, drawing technique the other art students use, i'll be expected to know it. *sighs*
JUST TODAY, i learnt, from the internet, what CROSSHATCHING is all about.
I'm starting to get why people always tell me,
'You take art ah?'
'Ya...''WOAHHH. SIAO AR?'Sheesh.
I've never done such tiring and painstaking art before, in my entire life.
I mean, its DRAWING, for heaven sake.
And i feel like i just died and came alive.
Screw it.
I passed the selection test, still.
So i've the abilities to pull through it, no?
(Do kindly allow me to self-deceive myself for a little longer.)
SCREW IT.
I. WILL. DO. IT.
Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the candy empire.
Hello. My name is liying, without any spacing in between.
I'm obviously a girl, if it isn't obvious enough.
I also have this super, uber, long name which says
Any one will do, its your choice.
My awesomeness can't be contained in such a teeny-weeny box because i'm sensational.
Yes, I'm loved, bayy-beh. I blog about everything under the sun and anything that's the past, present and the future. My profile page is non-existent, because its not long enough.
