/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

if you actually put in a lot of time? People look at it like most people don't succeed as professional artists, but most people don't put expensive hours into honing their craft or networking.

If you think about it, putting in 8-10 hours a day and then working your ass off meeting as many art-connected people as possible, you're already in a tiny minority. You can't be considered in the same discussion as the average fucktard looking to start an art career.

Now the real million dollar question to me is, if you're that kind of entity who focuses on improving his draftsmanship and nothing else, what are your realistic chances of making it? Does it ever reach a point for you where it becomes a practical pursuit, rather than a gamble?
