I used to work in a small guitar shop since I'm a musician second, not a great one but a musician nonetheless, but that's kinda not happening due to family issues and a possible move. Having a knife to your throat due to a distain with the world will do that haha
>do you hope to make art your job
Idk about my job, but I'd love to have a small studio or something to do my shit in, making money would be cool and all but I'm still super hesitant to call myself an artist because idk if I deserve that title yet. Like I've been drawing since middle school, used to copy out a shitty westernized paperback how to draw manga book. Now I'm struggling still with the figure and faces but I'm getting better even if it's stylized mostly.
Pic related is a two or three hour shitty self portrait painting from today, first time I painted myself since 2018, just acrylic but I want to get into painting finally since I've been a paper-pencil person forever. Looks like shit but I'm trying to get more confident with the impurities of my face.
