"In the movie Rapid Fire, Brandon Lee (Bruce Lee's son) is sitting in art class drawing a model. The instructor walks up and sees that Brandon has drawn a picture of a dragon behind the model. "Just draw what you see," the art teacher reprimands him. Brandon shrugs: "That's what I see." :) The figure drawing class I was in last May, there was one kid (weirdo) that, no matter who the model was, when you looked at his drawing pad, what he was drawing the whole time were little pictures of Donald Duck, Daffy Duck, Woody Woodpecker, Mickey Mouse, etc., and to hell with the model, I guess.
Never could figure out what was going on...someone must have told him he needed to learn figurative drawing to be a cartoonist.
LOL! Sounds like me in art class :) If the assignment remotely allowed it, I would draw pictures either of superheroes or The Hobbit, which drove my art teacher nuts. "Why don't you try drawing something else?" he would ask me periodically :)
