Is drawing realisim better then drawing cartoons?
So today I was in my Civics calss adn this girl who draws realism was holding these metallicy pencils and I asked her why. She told me they were “professional” supplies. I asked her why she wasted her money on those when she could just use Crayola’s? She told me because better artists use professional stuff and then basicly that my art was bad and hers was better. Okay now here’s the question; Is drawing realism really better then cartoons? (I’m better at drawing cartooons) And are professional tools even that good for amateur artists like us?
Remember ‘The Far Side’ cartoon drawn by Gary Larson? He retired at age 35 with over a hundred million dollars in the bank. He drew his cartoons on typing paper at his kitchen table with a #2 pencil for years. A REAL artist would never, ever put down someone else because of her/his tools or methods. Your classmate is a dink and she will die fat, unhappy, and broke amid a garage full of ‘realist’ art she couldn’t sell at a flea market. Professional tools are great — I have lots of them. The best tool you have is your imagination and talent so keep on drawing cartoons because everyone loves to laugh.
Best of luck.
