The first thing that one of my older art teachers said on the first lesson is: "Anime art is fucking forbidden!" And that if she sees any of it in works submitted she gives an automatic F.
That's just fu- I don't eve- Fuck. I felt so bad for some people in the class, who I know can't do realistic at all. I can do realistic alright, since I'v always tried to be a bit flexible, though, and it's a good to know how to do it, but that's just too cruel and strict.
