Excellent choice of mediums for depicting this nightmarish scene. Is pathos the right word for what I'm feeling right now? ..not quite, it's more empathetic than that.

It just doesn't look good in a notebook I suppose. And it's also an exercise in following basic directions. I would frequently write on the wrong side by accident though.

I can totally relate to this and I am SO glad I don't have to go to school anymore. Well, not as a student at least.
Anywho, love the color scheme. It's really dark and menacing... and that teacher would make anyone wet their pants.

Dude.... that's "what's-her-face". You know, the clothing Nazi, was the other "art teacher"... if you could call her that. I swear man, it totally seems to be her.

No it doesn't represent any specific individual.

That comment means nothing to me.
I suppose this character to which you are referring has a fear of failure as well. In which case, haha yeah.

Thanks.

I didn't want do something cliche, so I felt one that did not deal with any real danger, but isn't completely obscure would be the best choice.
