lifetime of incoming advice being an artist, thus blending craft, hobby, soul-crushing passion, and device in which I put food on the table: You need hobbies. You need to do things other than your craft. You love your craft and that's great -- it will empower you, it will drive you, it will keep you alive -- but you must feed it, and the things it feeds on are life experiences.
me: that's brilliant advice and I agree for every single person on the planet that isn't me, a person who must work on the craft as much as possible, constantly finding new ways to work harder or more precise
Recently I found out I suffer from a certain disease (it doesn't matter what kind of disease is this). For 11 years, its effects were treated, not the cause...Due to the fact I will soon start intensive treatment, I may drawing less because I may feel worse during the terapy. I can't afford to give up commissions completely, but I'll probably drawing them much slower. I was wondering if I should to write about it or not, but I would like you to know what is going on and why I may be less active on my social media. I hope I will feel better and I be able to draw for you and have fun while doing it.
9 years ago I was kicked out of the Fine Arts department in college... and 9 years later, I'm working as a full-time freelance artist with a BFA in Communication Design. 💖💪💖 Never let anyone take away your passion!
