Drawing is not a viable career, because you have to waste thousands of hours and you are not guaranteed a job. Artists are paid less and less over time and it's all going to hell, I can't believe people still go for it.

No, artists themselves say that.

>having a career

Pretty cool, right?

just set up a Patreon and draw noodz, scifi and fantasy

I follow 10 artists doing it and they all make over $3000 a month

I remember having a few friends in high school that went straight to art school post graduation.

They're now working fast food while bitching online about how they're barely making ends meet.

>>2901712
This, it's better to have a real job and keep art as a hobby.

Patreon is just virtual begging, I'd rather not be E-Hobo

>having to drive at least 9 hours per day, excluding other activities related to work
>reward for finishing the day sooner means you have to start the next day early than the previous day

>>2901712
that's why you have to pursue technical art jobs like design related fields

>>2901712
define viable. some people don't need to work 12 hours 6 days a week to feed 12 kids and a 2 pack a day cigarette habit (plus bi polar medications)

>waste time
>use said time to produce something of skill
People are idiots, god damn. It's no wonder they think degrees mean everything.

>One sentence OP with a facebookfrog.

How original.

>>2901712
Without people doing art as a career, we'd have no decent games, no good acting/singing/music/dance, no movies at all, just a fraction of good belles-lettres or poetry and every piece of architecture, interior or webdesign, branding and sculpture would pretty much look like shit because no one would get paid for studying it.

Why don't you just ban culture all together, you fucking retard?

Shame on both of you.

Yeah but literally every artist ever is under the impression they're working with DaVinci's hands and they are the next big thing when in reality they are one in a pool of countless more without realizing it. I'd love to do music for a living, but it probably won't happen. I'm trying but I'm not going to put my entire life on hold to do it, and me getting a real job in the meantime to support myself isn't a bad thing

Correct, industrial design pays very well. Anything manchild related will put you in league with "professional amateurs" who would do it for free.
