On my case getting good means more cash, when I started I charged 25 USD now I charge 50, if I get good enough I will raise my pricing again, and so on and so on, the goal is charge 200+ per piece, I think I can make it before the 2021

Why does depression make you think like this?

You do it for the good of your soul.
I'm not talking about religious crap, I mean like you're giving yourself a personal purpose.
If you can turn that hobby into a financial stream then great.
However, the satisfaction of producing something from your own mind and hands generates a sense of accomplishment in life very few understand.
Other people have their own purposes that keep them going.
Drawing is yours. Who gives a fuck if other people are better than you. It's always going to be like that.

It doesn't matter if anybody cares, you should be doing art for yourself. The success is just a natural byproduct of your hard work

To make the insistent, nagging images in your head real. The finest draftsman can't draw YOUR ideas. Those who draw for others, for fame, or for wealth won't understand this. I know because I've been there and it isn't worth it. Money is just paper, call me juvenile I don't care, yes it is very useful paper, but it's no substitute for the feeling of making art that you want to see.

Why do art when what you really want is money? Do you suppose you're going to be one of the lucky few who gets paid to draw what you want, or is that just not important to you as long as you're drawing anything even nipple-shitting futa porn?

[Anonymous No.4165089]

You can produce art for your own game, book, manga, movie, whatever. You can work in the movie or game industry helping to bring good into the world, either as a drawer or a sculptor, since if you can draw, you can sculpt.

There's a whole world of self expression for someone who knows how to draw.

That's the beauty of it.
Getting good for the sake of it. In a craft normies couldn't even come close to competence, since they have no idea what it means to put thousands of hours into something without instant gratification. It's the purity of it, the challenge, the rigor it requires that makes art such a compelling hobby.

And then you finally can give shape to your imagination for all to see.

The guy next to me might be better, but he cannot draw my thoughts. I'll have to make do myself.

He said he wanted everything to have that sort of etched look to it, like dollar bills or some shit, and he exclusively referenced places he could go to.

Its like the most roundabout circuitous batshit way to draw a comic ever.

You don't know what being good means

[Anonymous No.4165404]

honestly, I was thinking of writing some big speech about how the discipline to being a good artist bleeds into a lot of parts of life, and over time - you realize the act of getting good at something made you a better person.
BUT, I have a feeling that you are one of those people that are easily dissuaded, aren't motivated on your own, and compares yourself to others in a weird way.

I dunno bro, just be a waiter the rest of your life, don't bother being good anything.

Storyboarding. creator owned comic book work (if you put in the fucking work and arent a lazy shithead you can get set for life doing a creator owned comic book by optioning its licenses to the right people and making sure your publisher does their part to make it sell, and actually market yourself), concept design, character design, mechanical design, etc. Probably one of the most lucrative is advertisement/marketing work.

Like you're not even trying you stupid faggot. What do you think all goes into a video game? or a movie? or a cartoon? or a comic book? You think they fart out that shit and its made of fairy dust? You think marketing ads you see for shoes or soda just pop out of nothing? Are you fucking dumb?

The reason YOU arent getting paid is because YOU'RE FUCKING LAZY.
