Interesting read. It supports what a pretty damn good artist has taught me. Some artists reach a certain level and then just stay theeeerrre until people get tired of their 'style' or 'ouvre' and then they fade into obscurity. PROTIP: Never settle on a specific style. Learn what you must from other artists and move on, unless they prove to be people who add value to your life as friends. Keep on trying new things. A good artist balances his work between traditional and digital. That uneasy feeling you get means that you should explore more mediums and challenge yourself to sketch things you don't usually draw. According to him he studied at the university of life.


almost 30 and I have been a NEET for about 6 years. Currently getting a second opportunity to study animation (prev. Graphic Design) after my passion came this close to dying out. Many years ago parents promised me that they will put me back in art class but then just ignored me hoping that I'll soon lose interest or forget. Dad just cared about good grades even if he had to make me feel like a failure to obtain it. Not good enough, not good enough! I hate those words.

Nowadays I'm telling myself that I'm doing it for myself and fuck them. Always has been a failure in their eyes.
