My "artistic" ability was ruined from an early age; "Fish, during today's art class, why don't you not bother and just do your Maths homework instead?" Even twenty-five years later I remember that whenever I pick up a pencil.

What's saved me is digitization :c)

Sometimes you just have to wait for the right medium to come along? Another thing that inhibited my early development was that "her sister is the artistic one". It kind of felt like there wasn't much point trying. She doubtless felt the same about science...

*deletes joke about Doris Stokes being the right medium*

I had Sister Problems too; I was definitely the black sheep to her pure-Persil white. I was rather pleased to hear the other month that she's now following me, having taken up an OU psychology module...

It was worse for me. My best friend was enormously good at drawing. I took a look at his freehand-drawn, completely original, incredibly detailed spaceships (age about ten) and gave up.

He also played both the piano and the clavichord and beat me by two orders of magnitude at videogames.

We're still friends tho. :-)
