Art is a career that a lot of people have been very successful in but it's not a safe and reliable career choice and I'm not saying that to make you feel like a hero I'm serious, it's not a clever idea to pursue with no fallback.

The art world is very competitive, a lot of work is outsourced to Korea, you'll be drawing hardcore for at least 5 years before even having a shot at getting an unpaid internship/working for some startup company.
Then you have to actually get yourself out there, it's a popularity contest so you're gonna be investing a lot of your time into marketing yourself, less time drawing.
And on top of everything by the time you do get a job now you're just drawing what someone else wants. Do you really want to spend all that time and effort to draw some more half ass spacemarines or some indie devs Undertale rip off?


I say don't go down that path, get a more reliable 9-5 job and do art on the side, it'll take significantly longer but you'll never end up on the streets with 100k debt.
Also, having that income from a non art job will free your mind from thinking you need to do what makes money with art, you'll be able to draw what you truly enjoy. Maybe one day people will enjoy looking at what you enjoy and you'll be able to sell that (say you made a comic or something). Maybe that will go further and you'll make enough money to quit your job and draw what you enjoy 100%
It's unlikely but that's what I think is a nicer route
There is the risky path of getting into the industry, drawing stuff you don't like. you could try to summon the energy to also draw what you enjoy on the side and with your connections to the industry you will be able to get them out there much easier, but be very aware that the odds are stacked against you and if you fail you will fail hard and may never draw again.

Personally I wish I had pursued the romantic path, the safe route is a boring life, the decision is yours, just know what you're getting into, don't walk blindly.

Please make sure to resize images.

I don't know/use watercolor but overall the whole piece is desaturated. The lack of value range makes it look flat and there is no clear light source.

This but other than that the subject is clear and definetely not badly made.

Keep practising in other words, it's cool bit nothing spectacular

>>2632635
You don't, they find you

>>2633301
That's not the answer I want.

How do I find a professional that can sell art?

go fuck yourself

Quick is not the correct way to sell old artworks. Are you really broke and stupid enough to take a fraction of the value, or are these stolen? If this is the case, fucking ebay? Craigslist? (If stolen chances are very good you'll get caught)

Otherwise, just google art appraisers and secondary market dealers in your area. Eventually, someone will point you in the right direction and get the ball rolling to find collectors. You're gonna have to at least find people who know this market yourself.

I see you're trying to pull an andy warhol there, but the separate parts don't go together very well, I can't tell what it is just by looking from a distance. I'd suggest making the transition smoother, either by adding color, rotating it a bit or altering the style.

It got deleted, what was it?

This is album art for The Great Unwinding by Ulaan Passerine

Has always been. Artists have since the beginning of time sold their art. They wouldn't be able to live otherwise.

It looks cool and it's nice they realized the crystal onix concept was cool too
