The Art of Animation

Location

they say art majors are tough
they claim art students are poor
teachers, parents: all the same
no one looks the other lense. 
 
I was born with the wits of art
pencils on the left, colors on the right
I drew and drew til I declared
that drawing be my job affair.
 
but alll I have for support
is 'starving artist,' 'useless major'
so I gave up dejectedly
maybe art wasn't right for me.
 
time passes and I moved on
learned to code, as a new hobby
then it struck me by surprise
why not have art and tech combined?
 
why yes, animation is the key
to both my muse and financial demand
I can sketch, color, and ink
forget what other people think
 
begin with traditional art, design
the basics of shading and lightning
comes the principle of physics and anatomy
and 3D rendering and color theory
 
perhaps I will no longer feel
that my future will be unwell
perhaps I can finally sleep
knowing that life is quite complete
 
four years in college, I will be
to pursue this career that I choose
it takes patience, it takes time
but that's what I'm prepared to do.
