Do you want the long story? I cba to type out all those words

Anyway: I've been attending a self taught high school for the last 2 years (one year left) I only have to deliver work online and go to the exams every 6 months. So it's easy crusing in terms of responsibility. (10hrs of work pr week, max)

Government pays me 600 usd a month to do this.
To supplement that income I help out my dad with his circus

I live with my mom so only expense is food.
(I'm 19 so it makes sense to still live at home)

My family has been incredibly supportive. I wake up in gratitude every day.


Also since I got a bunch of questions from people who saw this thread on my tumblr, so I guess I'll address them here:

The thing that helped me out the most was to draw from imagination and memory at every chance I got, then making up weird practice sessions to combat the areas I was worst at. That and memory studies will take you really far.

Books that helped me out the most:
The art spirit by Robert Henri (just buy it you wont regret it ever)
And Alla Prima by richard schmidd, I heard he's done a 2nd edition which is bigger and better.


I can't say anything for figure drawing since everyone learns the figure in different ways. Just try out all the methods until you find something that clicks with you. (and of course draw from life but that goes without saying.)

That was very bloggy so here's a painting I really enjoy.
