Art + Garou :3 Personally I've never thought about those two things in the same headspace, so I'm curious what you come up with!
Garou definitely drew fanart of his favorite monsters as a kid. It wasnāt very good, but he enjoyed it, until other kids saw and couldnāt figure out why he didnāt draw the ācoolā characters
After that he didnāt spend much time deliberately drawing, but he was a chronic doodler in school. All his notes were bordered by swords and bugs and heads with horns. He got some worried questions from teachers in middle school, but it only made him keep his doodles to stuff they wouldnāt see.
As far as fine art, Garou likes the surreal stuff like Bosch and Dali. Pictures that have more and more detail the closer you look. He appreciates the skill it takes to do stuff like oil paintings, but he cares more about whatās in them than how they were done.
If he ever got the chance to take art lessons as an adult, heād do it, but use it to make fanart again. Or original monster designs and then give them names like ālast Friday when a guy made fun of my hair.ā
