As someone who can’t draw a straight line, with a ruler, this breaks my heart.
No wonder you still look back on it now.

The really galling thing is the picture I copied from was one of those early 3d pictures which must have come out in the 70s. No way I could have traced it.

Winner.

I love Fantasia Mickey the best. I love the imagery itself and it also reminds me of my late Grandmother who I loved dearly.

Not bothered about winning. It's actually helped me a bit with sharing this story. I've never told anyone this before.
Hold onto that powerful imagery and those happy memories mate.

I have a tale of woe. When I was a kid I was an exceptionally good drawer for my age. At about 9 years old I entered a local drawing competition. I drew this picture of Mickey Mouse which I had previously drawn many times and had been obsessed with for a while. It was perfect and that was the problem. They told my parents that a kid could not have drawn this and that I must have traced it. Consequently I got disqualified. Thanks parents for not backing me up. I was devastated, humiliated and felt guilty. Looking back I still feel angry thinking about it. I never really bothered much after that.

I had something the same when i was 15. I got a result of 99% for my Technical Drawing 'O grade prelim. The examiner had a tracing paper of the drawing that he placed over every ones drawing, and pointed out the areas that were outwith the master drawing. I looked at mine and couldn't see a mistake. I asked him what i had drawn wrong, as it looked perfect to me.
He said that even though my drawing was perfect, no one was given a 100% result. Bonkers. I got an A, and was happy, but thought his thinking was very wrong.
