I saw it and thought that it was a great idea to share with others!

You gotta work up from the bottom to make it to the top! :3 Just like you gotta work on your art, when you start out, you got ideas and dreams, so you have all this time until you're recognized to shape them and make them better!

= 3 = I know I will draw for food anyday. LOL


^ Posted by me that on facebook lulz.

But seriously. I myself get frustrated when I check my art and go: WHY AREN"T I FAMOUS YET GRRRR!-but this doesn't happen a lot because I know I have so much to work on! When you find you're in this situation, go to your fellow art friends and ask what you could do to improve your technique. Anatomy, shading, background, and do it.

If you're really serious about a career, a GOOD career in art, then you have to cover all your bases before you can play with the big boys. But don't forget you artists! It takes heart!! Which I know sounds really goofy, but if you love art, you shouldn't care about the wait, as long as you have fun doing what you are doing.

If you are stuck for a few years being a boring painter of cells in some cubical for some animation studio... well... (just don't choose disney cuz they abuse their people, no seriously)... don't worry! You can tuck into your resume this fact and when you feel that its time to move on, you can be all: HEY. I DID THIS. Look at my portfolio. :3

SO yaaaaaaaa....... orz I wrote too much. lol But I really liked this video too.

Wow... Watching that video made me do a lot, and I mean A LOT of thinking. It's not just for those who want to draw for a living, but for others who want to do other things in life (while doing some art in the middle).

I want to be a journalist, but I was told that once you complete college, there are millions of other degrees and certificates that you need to be able to make it big. This can take from 7-14 years if you do it right.

I think of this movie, and I smile, cause though it's taking me longer to get my degree, as soon as I'm done I already have my foot in the door at a news station, so I'm already further ahead then I thought I was.

Wow! I do feel better!


It's what I posted on DeviantArt, and it's true, I do feel a lot more accomplished and happy knowing that I'm further then I thought job wise ^.^

this is a good video 3nodding although i essentially gave up any pursuits in art years ago (i was losing interest in it anyway), the video could apply to the field of writing as well. while it's not going to be my focus in school (if anything, i'll do it as a side job because i know that i'm not going to hit it big right away, and even if i do, it's not going to pay my bills), it's something i want to do one day. maybe i'll be lucky and an opportunity will fall into my lap early on, but i'm not counting on it since i have horrible luck xd until then, this gives me encouragement that my perseverance will pay out one day.
