I am a 27 f artist, I’ve been drawing my whole life. I mainly draw digitally but can easily transfer my skills to a traditional media. I’d be happy making a career out of it, have enough drive to do so, and have been doing research over the years on how i can do this.
That being said, with the AI situation being as it is, on top of the fact that I know well that the art industry is very over saturated and very connections focused. So, I’m wondering if it’s worth it to go down this path and full send it despite the very real and high possibility I can fail?
I’m looking into:
- Animation
- Game design (I understand this requires coding with it)
- Tattooing
I already do freelance work with commissions, but I don’t have enough of a following to maintain consistent income and support myself.
Lastly, I guess, I was just hoping somebody could give me advice on whether it’s worth all of the effort required? I don’t want to full send a degree and career path just to end up in debt and still having to work a minimum wage job.
