Hi. i'm 17, Male. From the Philippines. My parents are going to be kicking me out as soon as my dad comes to pick me up. Probably a few days from now, Continuing onto college is not an option for me, my grades aren't good enough for scholarships, ironically, i not very good at math even though the entrance exam i took for my course was business management, though i passed, my mom is kicking me out and is no longer paying for it. it costs and it costs like $3.6k per semester, and even after all those costs, i still need a place to stay and food to eat and probably bills to pay. i'm only good at english, so i was thinking of probably learning and doing digital art for a while. I'm not that great at drawing figures, though i know how to draw buildings and like man-made stuff. I'm still struggling at nature stuff though. But i am willing to learn, it's not like i have a choice either.

My dad cannot pay for all of my needs, as he has my 3 other half-siblings to raise. And the place i will be moving to is a province. Not much jobs i can earn any livable income from.

Realistically, how much can i make from art, and how long does it take per commission?

Also, i apologize if it's too long. I'm sorry, i don't have alot of people to talk to right now.

Oh and if anybody asks, no. I can't ask for help from my relatives as my mom has turned them against me. So my options are really limited.
