wait heck im supposed to be drawing wasps, not inducing existential despair
when you turn 16 you can get an easy going part time job at a movie theater or crafts store or somethingI want my art to not just be stick figures. I want to do it for people as they requested and to share a bit of myself, what I like, etc.
I’m gonna have to start making my own money soon and doing chores doesn’t make me money and parents shouldn’t give money just for doing standard housework
And you know I don’t wanna do something soul draining, because school is already like that
drawing is harder than any job I've had personallyYeah but stuff like blue collar jobs and medical professionals need specialized training. And yes, I know that art school exists but you can make quality art (Be it drawings, animations or what have you) with little to no training, soley on talent alone.
I didn't say that? Just that some people just have insane talent lolWell I guess I wasted all that money on that art camp that I spent two weeks going to. Totally worthless. Isn’t that nice
Ah, now I see what you're saying.I think you're more on the money than I am, too many people try too hard to make it in art instead of a more traditional job so it just gets oversaturated and I see that and invalidate the whole thing
Sometimes, you just have to work even if you're not enjoying it. That's life.But I don’t want a traditional job
I tried working with my mom unloading things for people before and it was draining. I hated it
I don’t think there’s a traditional job that I’d like
Yeah, it's these kinds of words that make talking to you about this stuff draining for me. It's just a reminder of how little people actually care for the artist. Every conversation about this kind of stuff feels so... futile, it really wrecks my mood.Oh whoop de doo, you've got warm fuzzies from a fulfilling job, good for you. Is anyone else benefitting from your job in a way they couldn't get anywhere else? People can get entertainment from people that don't do it for their job. Same can't be said for stuff like medical care, plumbing, farming, etc...
Even in art there are jobs that offer a steady income, because the actual art itself will produce an unsteady income, because you never know when inspiration strikes, and sometimes projects can be spontaneous and in the moment, or they can take months to finish, sometimes years depending on the scope. J.R.R Tolkien spent the rest of his life writing LOTR, as an example.But I don’t want a traditional job

Wdym by this? Just bc he doesn't think it's very viable as a career doesn't mean he doesn't care for the artists..It's just a reminder of how little people actually care for the artist.
