I had only really just started the class, had never watched a cartoon and had never done anything even remotely similar to animation before (except sketch art). The first time I met the guy, he gave me an introductory lesson, and I blew him away with how smooth I was as a first timer. It was like I was already at intermediate skill level and had been doing it a while. Don't think he ever believed it was my first time. My mother canceled that class and replaced it with study hall, because she thought the intructpr was goving me unrealistic ideas.
Perhaps it is time to talk to the school about what you desire for your own education. You're 18. You can legally call the shots.
My tablet keeps erasing what I'm trying to post! Apologies for repetitive edits.
