I hate to butt in on your conversation but don't start thinking that
you cannot amount to much just because you don't have a formal
education. We all have to start somewhere yunno. Nobody was ever born
a great artist in my opinion. It all comes down to your passion for
self-expression. The last time I've tried to enroll in an art school
they were amazed of what even I'm capable of (I'm nowhere near as
good as Jim) but because I'm poor they wouldn't let me in. Perfection
is probably obtained by the quantity of artwork you've drawn, so keep
drawing and one day you'll amaze yourself.

didn't step on anyone's toes by writing it...I'm just hoping it
inspires someone to pick up a pencil and paper and let loose.
