Does anyone one have any idea on how to make a living as an artist? I'm tired of working a 9-5, and I know I'm pretty good at drawing. What is the modern meta for becoming a working artist?
If you're asking then you're simply NGMI and you're not going to prove me wrong either.Next year you'll remember my post and know I'm right. Bye.
>>7702369>I'm pretty good at drawingokay, post your work
whatever 9-5 you have is much less work and stress than trying to hustle as an artistenjoy it and don't take it for granted
>>7702393this, a lot of times what makes jobs hell is the people in them. If I could work without speaking to a single person except for when handing in completed shit, I'd happily be a wagie. But you have to participate in society while waging which makes it unbearable.
>>7702403If I have to speak to another Dan over the phone I'm gonna blow my brains out to be honest. In call of duty modern warfare of course.
>i want to quit my job because i saw pornfags make lots of moneythe modern meta is sucking dicks on discord and laundering money for criminals
>>7702369don't ask me, I'm a failure
pyw
>>7702403bro, this is pretty much what i want in a job, but i wanna try making money with art anyway, it could go well idk
>>7702369You have to make work that turns peoples heads. You cant make generic shit anymore. Either take the hard route and put out genuinely interesting ideas or become a stupid coomer and innovate in how fast you can speed run erectile dysfunction.
>>7702369you need to draw
>>7708553Never
>>7702403>If I could work without speaking to a single person except for when handing in completed shithahaha this is what I do at my Job! If it paid better I'd love it but that and the art itch has me searching for more.
>>7702369>Too low IQ for useful college degrees >Too incompetent for even retail (have had 5 grocery jobs, each time fuck up massively)>Would probably fail in the military and blow my brains out>Can't even driveOnly education I could attain was an associates in graphic design. Only bright side is that I have a gig internship but idk if it will go anywhere. The worst part about the retail jobs is having to talk to everyone. I'm 30 and have failed completely at life. My dad tried to convince me to go on disability/SSI for years but I wanted to prove him wrong and show that I was capable I should have listened
>>7708612If your dad was trying to get you on neetbux then he probably knew something he wasn't telling you
>>7708612i think being low iq is pretty based, you'll find a way trough life don't worry about it. Anyways why did you picked up drawing as a hobby? people underestimate how high int it can be
>>7708621I've been drawing since I was 6, I'd pmw but I have posted my art before a lot and don't want it attached to my retarded crying
i was recently thinking of hanging copies of my portraits around the town and just put my number on there and a small charging table. i'm not sure how high to go, depending on the style of the portrait like a stippling i might charge top dollar because they take so long.
>>7708612>I'm 30 and have failed completely at lifeI feel you with that. I don't talk to anyone at my shitty retail job because I don't want to be there, I think maybe if I amplify my suffering it will force me to try to change. I was super sad and hated my life at first but now I have good coping skills and still hate my life. I always draw on my lunch breaks and at home but making money off of this will require me to interact with the most obnoxious kinds of people.
>>7708612>useful college degreesThose are a dying breed
>>7708649Is that Curt Cobain
>>7708681something something couldnt finish drawing cobain haha, because he fucking killed himself.
You'll be more tired going hungry while watching everyone around you get tasty takeout meals and having a fun night. Just put yourself out there more and learn some business skills.
>>7702369> what is the modern metaget a job, people still hire artists if you are actually good like you say
>>7708673>PhysicsI met a guy at my shit grocery store job who was doing his physics homework, he was 32 at the time and his goal was to get a job teaching physics. Told me that every couple of years he saves up money to move somewhere else because life sucks so much... didn't really get that part until now.
>>7708701>learn some business skills./threadEither learn Biz skills or become a wagie.
