Why did this feel like a boss battle? I’m impressed how this series manages to continually up the ante/ tension with art.
“Somehow when I’m drawing […] my brain is attached to my hand.”
Yatora is still in crippling self-doubt with his artistic imposter syndrome, but he’s made it to his 2nd year.
I still have a low opinion of the majority of the art professors here, and while the latest one is quirky, he still appears to be a pretentious professor trying to “weed out” students. So many seem to be trying to break the students' spirits. But maybe he's not all bad?
There’s also a new wildcard character who is charismatic, which makes Yatora question whether staying in art school is worth it.
“Making a choice is both a luxury and exhausting.”
Ultimately, I learned a lot about art here. I knew about gesture drawing and sketching, but not the other types or the breakdown of the definitions.
