I was told to pick the brains of those doing the jobs you seek. Thanks much, exactly what i was looking for. I've done many forms of art but none have made more money than the time it took to do them. Things like Culinary arts, Silver smithing, Dyeing craft yarn, singing have all been more of a self satisfying form of art. Advancing to a profitable level -like a pyramid, start wide and focus up to a point-, is very useful advice. To train as a sport to build a foundation. I've recently changed priorities in life and have really just begun a new campaign towards profitable art. I plan on building a wide base of drawing styles while still focusing on themes i personally enjoy. Working the basics like a marathon, not a sprint. Thanks again for the wide variety of pro's opinions and back stories.

I-m an artist and it-s so hard trying to get work, what I want so passionately is to become a full time artist but it-s like no one wants to work with me. I have a very small following, like 1k followers on insta, and not a single commission. I work so hard to persistently work on my craft. But it-s like no matter what I do it-s not good enough. Trying to be an artist is extremely difficult and I look high and low for help but it-s like nothing helps.
I look elsewhere besides social media as well like freelancing sites, contacting companies, etc. I get nothin back. I-m not gonna give up but damn man how long is it gonna take? What do I REALLY have to do?

What bother me is, don't you all people became pro long ago? When internet wasn't a big thing and not created a millions of wanna be artists, and industry wasn't full of creative people? It's great that you succeed back then, but what about now? How to get a job in modern times, while competing with million others, and more importantly with you guys? And don't tell me that art isn't a competition, it is, because people need money, and you really need to go really hard if you don't want to ruin your future career with furry porn.

I did not expect to see so many of the incredible artists I follow on ArtStation and Instagram in this video! It-s so interesting to hear their stories and it honestly fills me with hope for the future. People who say you can-t make a living as an artist have only payed attention to stereotypes and do not know the truth about this incredible industry. If you want it enough, you will get there!

Does anyone have advice on how to get your first commissions?
I-ve been making art for years, but i-ve only ever been commissioned by family and friends. I-m currently in college, deciding between animation or post production.
I know social media can be helpful, but i-m not sure how to optimize mine.

Whatever I do, wherever i try i end up getting declined after finishing the test. I have 7 tests behind me, and objectively I find my work, a bit above mediocre.
I think I am cursed.

What if you don-t or haven-t found the -style- most artists seem to have? Do you need one? Can you just copy a style and then create your own? Or is it just really bad here in Vegas?

I'm graduating next year and I'm really scared. - The animation industry in my country is non-existent, but at the same time I don't want to live abroad forever.

You've turned all those awesome artists' interviews into a commercial for skillshare in the end. Not cool, and I don; t think they will like it either.
