everyone is always talking about “making it”

what’s your definition of (not) making it?
is it based on skill? financial success? happiness? image?

is your idea of “making it” just your personal dreams as an artist?

let’s talk about it!

I just want to draw what's in my head without it looking like shit. Everything else comes second to that.

If you quit, you didn't make it. For as long as you keep trying you are in a state of making it. The is no final "make it" moment, even artists who get good and go pro have to keep putting stuff out and working hard to stay as artists.

I don't think it'll mean much to me when I reach that point, but making it would be to make a living by drawing whatever the fuck I want.

"making it" means "achieving your dreams". If someone becomes a famous porn ""artist"" he disgusts me, but if that's his dream, then he made it.

For me, making it just means being able to be happy with my own work and being capable of making what I want.

Have a respectable professional skill (I know I'm never gonna be happy with my skill though) and make a decent living from art I enjoy doing

To me "making it" is making a living out of something you love or at least enjoy doing.
>>4019262
I'm not super happy with my skill either but as long as I get paid for it, to me it's like I've already "made it". I'm feeling happy, not stressed, not overworked but also not underpaid. I still have time to get my skill to where I want it to be.

making it means you think the shit in your head, you draw it out exactly what you thought. Making it is the equivalent of beating Kim Jung Gi, the final boss, at art.
