As an animation student, part of my core education was intense training in drawing. Drawing isn’t just for art students- it can often be used in military training because of the valuable skills that you develop in other areas that are transferable.
Similar to my experiences in marching band, I learned a lot of different skills from my drawing education that I use today, such as patience, observation, Revision, non-perfectionism, and criticism.
