Nta but for me it isn't torture. I love the process and if I end up with a shitty drawing I can always just try again. I personally don't care about making a lot of money, but I want to make money off my hard work even if it isn't much. Here's the way I think about it, almost every career path you go down requires hard work and effort for some end reward. You could work some meaningless server job and in that case your reward is just money. But if we're talking about actually fulfilling careers that someone is passionate about, the rewards vary. Why does a no name scientist go out into the world collecting rock samples from a volcano in blazing heat for 8 hours? He probably gets paid next to nothing but the fulfillment of helping the world of science in the future. He doesn't care to pick up rocks for 8 hours because he loves rocks, loves understanding their formations and composition. Sure there will be times where he just wants to say fuck it and leave, but then he reminds himself of his goals and vision and presses on, until he finds the perfect rock and it's all worth it. For him it isn't torture, but for me I'd fucking kill myself if I had to go to guatamala to pick rocks off a fucking volcano. Perhaps you just haven't found your passion yet, or you're just looking at art in a way that's false. For an artist the end result is just one step of the process equal or even lesser in importance than the previous steps.
