Now, let me say upfront that I freely admit that I have all the artistic talent God gave a pile of gravel. Anything beyond a stick figure is out of my comfort zone. But, they advertised valuable cash prizes, so I sent it in. A few weeks later some guy calls the house and tries to convince my Mom that I have some great artistic talent that would be wasted unless I enrolled immediately in their fly-by-night art school. She hung up the phone and I guess the world missed out on having another Rembrandt.
My sister took one of those mail in courses. But she had some natural talent at drawing.
I am 7 years younger than my sister so I was just a little kid when she did it. The main thing I remember is that she got some books that had models wearing outfits that were like full body yoga pants (with guys wearing some sort of cup). I guess they could not use nude models so they used these to show the human form.
I thought they were dirty.
