How old are you?
>18
When and why did you start drawing?
>my grandfather was a painter and I always admired his work.He was not particularly wealthy , but everyone loved him and he was the wisest and smartest person that I have ever seen.When I was a kid (2-8 years old) I'd mostly just draw
What do you do besides art?
>I'm a movie buff and play vidya.I'm in Europe , so when you're 18 , you're still in highschool.I'm trying to get into some digital art college (probably graphic design)
What is your goal?
>get rich or die trying.But for real I think digital art is an interesting way of making money.Art has been dying for the last hundred years and painters and other graphic artists aren't even remotely respected as they were a few centuries ago.But the 21st century brought art back into the mainstream.Video games , websites , programs , everything needs a UI , logo , promotional pictures , etc.It's very profitable to be a graphic designer in Eastern Europe , since in America and probably Western Europe the pay of a graphic designer is pretty average.But compare that salary to doctor's salaries in EE and it's even bigger than that.The trick is that you can be employed from anywhere in the world and you'll get the same pay as if you were like i dunno in America even though you're in the Balkans...
