None of this shit would've happened if I didn't had this anti-art attitude during my elementary school years.
My mind correlated art (regardless of it's form) with painting and "no fun allowed" old ladies who took the thing seriously and worshiped a time period that even predates them. Of course, I blame the mandatory art classes that also had professional painters teaching them. I also had shitty hand-writing and nobody could help me because I'm left-handed and have other dexterity issues, but if it weren't for those, I probably would have never gotten into computers in the first place because I had an AlphaSmart because of it.
I can appreciate art now and I realized that it was stupid of me to correlate all art with classical Renaissance paintings. I can draw somewhat, but I can only do full frontal or behind shots. I can't draw from angles. I can also do some pixel art, but working within those constraints is difficult. Case in point 16x16 character sprites.
