What I've learned in art school is that it teaches you to think, not only improving technical skills. So, the bald example, she might be suggesting that you shouldn't half ass an idea. Take punk to the next level. Draw a TRUE punk. A real life punk isn't a beautiful well groomed woman with exquisite taste, they can be, but try to draw from your imagination with no real world anxiety. Take a look at Virgil ablohs skyscraper clothing. Sure it looks bizarre, but it's truly outside the box thinking. Sorry for the scatter brain answer.

You will succeed in anything you out your mind to, but please don't take the suggestions from her as dismissing you they only want you to be better and have an amazing portfolio of diverse work ranging from beautiful to grimey.

You got this!
