Where you wanting to move to? Wish you the best on your trip to wherever it is regardless.

Garden City, Westland or Redford Michigan. (I don’t wish to move out of state. cuz the place isn’t bad at all. And i wish to stay close to family. I love em and i’m not the type to visit others often. So driving distance is nice!)

It’s been rough landing a house or apartment tho (not due to funds) Got close earlier this month. But the lack of proof of income, ruins that instantly. (good chunk of folks, especially the places I want really badly don’t accept bank statements and you can forget using Paypal monthly statements. Even if you make 4x the amount they are asking for and show them IN THEIR DAMN faces. It’s upsetting AF)

I have to ask how does a beginning artist like me, get to there. Where you stand. I know it is practice, practice, practice, but will that get me there. Sometimes you can try so hard, and still fail in every way, things just don’t turn out the way you want no matter how hard you try. Will it be different for this?

Mmm, I strongly feel others shouldn’t ask me these things. Largely because I feel most of what I know is mashed up information and techniques I learned over time through trial/replicating my old time fav artists. Regardless if they actually made “sense” at the time. It just looked “cool/flashy” to me. (Which isn’t..TOO BAD. it kept me amused with art and wanting to draw/learn more.)

But seriously, you’ll get there or far beyond what I’m capable of!

Study. Study and learn your art fundamentals. Shapes, Perspective, Light, Shadows, Color, etc (Something I wish I did far sooner and more often. I regret this a bunch.)

Practice, practice more the things you just learned and build up your muscle memory.

It’ll take you a lot further, more effectively and more quickly than guessing everything all out for almost everything you do.

Do you draw whatever you feel like? or do you have anything planned out for this month?

Not exactly. Outside of Patreon stuff and messy doodles for fun here & there. (Like the posts recently. Loads of fun, hope to do that more often with other artists if possible.)

I’ve got my hands full and I’m jumping back into a backlog of commissions. So my hands are tied there. (Obligations + too guilty to draw what I feel like as often or as much as I would like to. Gah)

You’d probably see me post way more artwork/dumb doodles if this wasn’t the case.

TLDR: Patreon & Finishing Commissions this month and for the next several months. Rinse & Repeat till done. (+ still reading up on current art books for self-improvement!)
