Definitely not. I don't even think I'll play on my colleges competitive team. And if I did, I would sit on the bench. Training to be pro is much more intense (and consistent through ones life) than what I've done.

On the opposite end, art is a field that you can jump into. It helps to have skills, like drawing, that takes years to acquire, but if you have a good brain and a strong sense for composition and innovation, you can be a successful artist.

The pottery I make is a blend of functional and nonfunctional work. The potters wheel takes years to master, it's a skill like drawing. Pottery also has the process of firing and glazes to master, since the surface of a piece is as important as its form. I like making teapots, Japanese tea/sake cups, and bottles. The bottles I make are really carefully done, and intricate. Pottery is going to be a core piece of my artistic career (and I am training to go pro for art).

I also draw a little, I used to draw a lot before, now I only do it from times to times, but I want to restart doing it with more frequency, what I draw is more, comics and stuff, and scenarios, like a burning castle where there is a giant monster, and one very cool xP knight with dark powers on is way to kill the beast, and I also draw dark characters, like angels of death and those kind of things

This is cool, It must be entertaining doing this kind of things xD The bottles I make are really carefully done, and intricate.

If you want to really learn to draw, do one of these two things:

1. Try to draw real things realistically. Use good shadows (and highlights!), try to show the shape of the object and how it goes in and out (it's helpful for faces, cheeks and noses have strange shapes)

3. Learn to draw comics like the very best. Look for graphic novels and good comic books. Any classic superhero comic fits in this category and they're available online. Copy some of their frames. Notice how they use composition and different viewpoints to keep things interesting inside of the frame. Also comics are great at telling a story. If you study comics with an eye for facial expression, shading, and story-telling, you can become a really good artist, and draw some things that people will take more seriously than what you do now.

Played ball today. 1 on 1 and 4 on 4. Lost one, won one in 1 on 1, then had fun playing half-court in that group. Did ok. No spectacular story or anything.

In 4 days I leave for Israel. Today I am starting a no-fap that will go to the day I leave and as long as I can last when I'm there. Not posting about anything that happens there. Also quitting the sosuave high school section. Won't be looking at any threads except a couple of journals I've been following for a long time.

I might still be around the main forum and I like seeing that I have new messages.
