Passion for art?

[Teo-Tan]

basically, art career should never be ur first job, TRUST ME! u better find the job with main income and in ur spare time do anime or art, anything. I wanted to become anime artist my self but later i understood it cant be the source of main income...never!

PS: its not only about anime art but any other art in general

sweatdrop For some though, it can be the main source of income. It all depends on what you do with your art and how you do it. It's not smart to just be an artist for commision and not have any other money coming in, but there are lots of well paying jobs out there for us artists. The possibilities are endless! xd

rofl I think it is definitely important to have passion for your career. If not it becomes just a boring job you have to go to everyday. sad I love and studied art too in the print shop. Definitely go for what you're passionate for!! xd

I lOVE to draw. I want to be an artiest but im told it a hobbie not a career.. sweatdrop

I hate when people say that.

I love art to bits, but its not a career I personally want to go into, well not as an artist anyway.

I go to a 6th-form which emphasis is put more on english, science etc. so my art department isn't the best.

I hope to go into the advertising industry or law, or something History based, maybe art history, but I'm not too sure yet its fun deciding though.

Ouch at no support from parents though, it sucks when that happens!

One thing you might want to think about if your into art history, is art restoration.
I was into that for a long time but realized that i want to make my own art and criticize others. in a good way of course. twisted
P.S. Make sure you can take constructive criticism b4 you show your stuff to someone who might somewhat know what ttheir talking about. Some people are just dicks, but alot of of people mean well and merely want you to improve for yourself. biggrin

Ha, there's art and then there's design. Design is all the things pertaining to media. While art is the expression of yourself ^^
As much as I love art and design I'm realistic about it and it would be pretty hard to make a career out of it.

Design is art though. you can't think about them seperately. There are different kinds of design just like there are different kinds of art. I say this because u state that the difference is that art is expression of oneself, but alot of design is very spontaneous and could be expression of the designer. but any type of design even generic design is art. and art is not nessessarily expression of the artist. alot of artists do things just cause they look cool, not nessessarily because it means something. but its still art. wink
rofl i love art! rofl

[Chevaleresque]

Art is ok. Sometimes I feel like drawing and sometimes I do. My parents don't like me to draw though. But Art is not really my thing. But I just love looking at art and statues and its prospectives.

[BrahmZipperlin]

why do they not like you to draw?

[rindhiroku]

I really enjoy looking at art, it's different variations, ect. I'd have to say that the colors used in most paintings are beautiful and used nicely. I would really like to know how to do some of the stuff artists do, and I hope to one day be pretty good at it as a hobby, but for now I'll just keep on drawing anime. razz
I don't think that it's bad if it is one's carreer, it's just so hard to make any money from it though that it just doesn't work in today's society, but if ya find a way to do it then go ahead! -n_n-
I personally just want to keep drawing a hobby and become either a computer programmer or a video game designer/ programmer, but probably a computer programmer more so.
