During part of my "what the fuck do I want to do with my life?" crisis, I decided I would learn to draw and become a cartoonist, since the funnies were such a huge part of my life since childhood, and back then, they still were. So I tried to learn to draw with the aid of a how-to book... and I couldn't fucking stand it. So I gave it up after a little bit.
It probably would've been better if I actually enrolled myself in an art class, but I wanted to just get straight into cartoons.
