life decisions

okay yes I have been spamming this question everywhere but it's really important to me

I've already asked Chuubits so she can sit out (and ILU)

I've always been drawing as a hobby, but how many of you think I have what it takes to go pro?

I'd really appreciate honest input on this one, so Anon enabled, IP logging off and all that! honestly sorry

My first reaction is to say that I'd like to believe you have a chance, but realistically it depends on what area of illustration/art you're going into, how hard you want to work and how much you want to make through it. I don't know whether you're thinking about art as your full time job or whether you're going to supplement it with any other part time thing, whether you're going to get extra training in things like vectors and 3D imaging, whether you aim to work freelance or try to work in a company, and then what kind of company - publishing/book illustration, newspaper/magazines, game development, comics/manga etc. I don't know that much about the art industry but I guess those are all things you're going to have to keep in mind

It's a tough life but all life is tough so i guess it's not that different lol.

... lmao yes this exactly; I've basically learnt that everything in life stinks balls anyway so I was considering... at least going for a career field that I have more emotional attachment to. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MIYUN. You have no idea how much this means to me right now ;_; I honestly can't express how. I want to fly over to the UK right now and give you so many hugs sob I love you so much

Thank you again!! ♥ ♥
