The Greatest Teacher, Failure is. - MASTER YODA

in art •  7 years ago 

My name is Jeremiah and I'm a professional failure in life. I failed the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test and at becoming a pilot. I failed (quit) BUD/s class 246. I failed in marriage and at being a perfect dad. I completed my California real estate license, but sold zero houses. Every business I've started has failed. I took only one class at Harvard Extension School, but they politely told me I was not welcome to continue. I've lost a few jobs, but becoming a comic book artist was my first failure. Here are some of my old drawings. I feel their lack of completion is reflective of my life in some ways. Master Yoda did say, "The greatest teacher, failure is." ผมไม่สำเร็จหลายอย่างในชีวิต ผมเคยเป็นทหารแต่ไม่สำเร็จอะไร ผมโดนเมียทิ้งและเสียลูกไป ผมเคยพยายามเริ่มธุรกิจออนไลน์แต่ไม่เคยได้เงินสักบาท ผมเคยโดนไล่ออกหลายครั้งแต่ซิ่งที่ผมแพ้ครั้งแรกคือเป็นนักศิลปะ ผมรู้สึกว่ารูปพวกนี้ที่ยังไม่เสร็จเหมือนชีวิตผม อาจารย์ Yoda เคยบอกว่าการแพ้เป็นครูที่ดีที่สุด

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Nintendo 64 is one of my all time favorite games. I remember after I got back from Basic Training and AIT, I played this game for two weeks straight only pausing to eat, sleep, or go the bathroom.

Spawn

Every comic book artist wanna be looked up to Todd McFarlane. You can see how I used the grid method to help draw Spawn from a reference.

Angela was an angel who was a Hellspawn Hunter and bounty hunter.

I can't remember what comic book this was from.

My students didn't believe I could draw, so I drew this for them without any reference as quickly as I could.

Thank you for reading my post and looking at my old drawings. Even though I've failed at many things in my life, Steemit gives me hope that one day things will work out.

I am a complete failure trying to draw like you, also translating into English that's why I use Google translator

Love the ninja turtles, great work, and I draw too.
