Once, when I was at college, I had a tutorial.

My tutor said two things to me, and they were:

~ "My brother draws comics, and he's a really good artist" (thus implying that I wasn't?)

~ "You have no grasp of anatomy" (paraphrased; this one still stings when I think about it)

If I'd have been in my right mind, or quick thinking that day, I'd've said: "Two words for you: Rob. Liefeld."

Seriously. There is so much bad comics art I've seen since that day (by professional, working, artists!!) that I just want to shove through his front door and say, "I've no grasp of anatomy, haven't I? HAVE YOU SEEN THIS WOMAN'S SPINE? OR THOSE EAR WARMERS THAT, I ASSUME, ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HER BOOBS?"
