The boy im dating is not very supportive of me pursuing art as a job. Every time it comes up he tells me its a useless job and a waste of my time. Its very demotivating and honestly im losing faith in my future.
Should I tell him to shut up or genuinely change career paths?

I'm in artschool right now.
The pic is a recent painting of mine.

The relationship is not going to last long if he is not willing to support your goals. By support I assume you mean emotionally, and not you being a parasite living off him or something. If which case, get a fucking job, hippie.

He's not the one for you simple as. Your spouse doesn't need to be an artist himself but if he can't even muster the ability to support you or worst expect you to put everything on the back burner to support his own pursuits but does nothing to reciprocate it's going to fail in the future and you will absolutely regret wasting your time on him. Take time to evaluate your relationship and seriously determine if you're just with him because it beats being alone. Know your worth and know that you can always do better than some fucking dude who doesnt care.

Let's be real. To most people pursuing art is a waste of time they should rather had kept as a hobby. If you want to convince him then you need to prove you can earn an income from your art in some way. It's an attitude thing because many artists don't have what it takes to threat their art as a commercial product that need to bring in cash.

Instead of being mad at him you should value him for looking out for you.

No, she does not, but if they're co-habitating she has an obligation to pay half the bills, at a minimum. Assuming that's their arrangement, of course.

Don't listen to people who try to decide what's best for you. I used to be a prolific artist until an abusive partner took it away from me, I lost many years, and it's taken about as much time to climb out of that hole. I've got nothing but regret left from those times.
Ironically the only barrier between me and success was the person trying to control my life and putting me down.

Art majors are notorious for not leading to a job. Besides OP's "boy" probably know OP a lot better than we do and gives the advice with good intentions. Finally if OP just wanted to dump him there would be no need for making this thread in the first place.

It's just a hard reality of life that most who graduate from an art academy never end up using it in a professional context.

Mine bitches about my art because his ex was an artist on this board. bitches about how he has no talent even though he is a musician and good at it. every time I draw and bumps me or starts doing loud shit behind me. I can't paint for more than 20 minutes at a time without him getting upset. I just tell him to fuck off but I have a career in care taking because old people are quiet as fuck and mostly want to watch tv so you're sitting at a desk most of the time. gonna be honest generalized art is something you want as a side Hussle. I used to sell imvu edits to pay for school classes and shit but now the AI craps those out. he is just trying to help with the AI being released anything that isn't hard specified (architecture website design etc) is kind of a prompt plug in now. you need a direction with your art if you want to make it a career that you live on but he shouldn't flat out tell you no because there are still plenty of ways to apply art.

I look like said woman and play all the same videogames. you know what he did. anyway not my problem he usually responds to fuck off I'm trying to draw this.

DUMP HIS SORRY ASS

This is not tumblr, or whatever girly social media you asks those type of questions, but any person with a minimum of self respect, would follow their passion, and be happy instead of being miserable with someone "toxic" like him.

I'm not even a woman, yet I know that he's a dumbfuck toxic retard, and you're unironically better off alone.

Looks solid , a bit empty and maybe a bit unclear but thats likely the intent.

That being said I think you bf has the best intents in mind

Art doesnt tend to pay much so...
Also artschool is a scam for the most part (from what I heard) unless you managed to get in for free or very cheap. Its mostly good for connections soooo... make sure you get plenty of those.

When people look for artists they usually look at their portfolio and see if they like the style. Most of what is taught in artschools can be learned online or from books from what I heard. (unless its a very hardcore one but to my knowledge , most arent).

Would personally recommend keeping art as a side hustle/hobby rather than relying on it for all your income.

Slide thread is a term for threads meant to push other threads off the board.

People seem to have this bizarre mindset that if you either enjoy your job, don't directly work for somebody for a salary, or don't have to deal face to face with shitty people who you secretly hate (or some combination of the above), it isn't a "real" job. Making minimum wage as a cashier at a fast food goyslop restaurant, literally helping the wealthy amass even more money by selling poisonous garbage to the desperate for peanuts, is somehow more of a "real," society enriching job than somebody who sells their own original artworks to people who enjoy their work. I really don't understand the mindset, beyond being literally mindbroken.
