Work this big ass machine that sorts post at the post sorting centrum in the dead of night

Shift manager at a fast food place. Generally work 9-10 hour shifts so minimum of 40 hours a week but oftentimes more. The commute is also long so it leaves little time for drawing. Still it's preferable to being unemployed when I didn't draw much either because I didn't have the energy.

No.
Unless you're where you are through nepotism and are literally expected not to do anything. A job, any job, is a commitment. So say goodbye to art as soon as you become employed.

I feel your pain. I work late shifts doing metal prep work for powder coating. and my tasks involve lifting heavy ass shit, placing said shit inside a room sized oven, then walking in and taking it out when its around 400F. ive got a fuckton of small burns up and down my forearms, have come really close to losing fingers on multiple occasions, and am getting some serious persistent wrist pain from hauling around awkwardly shaped stuff in weird positions to keep it from touching my body. That said, sometimes when things are baking I have time to myself to draw, so its not all bad.

I'm gonna be a teacher, 'cause I don't hate kids that much and summer holidays will be fucking rad.

Related question, if you were me, would you pick IT or Art as a major?
IT is a more stable job, but Art diploma could get me more respect if I write a book or decide to teach drawing at uni or smth.
I got admitted to both.

I'm chronically ill so I've always been unemployed. I'm basically dead weight until I git gud but after years of effort I'm still shit. I've got less time for art now since I'm busy working on not killing self.

Don't do art as a career if you think "oh I can't get a regular job I might as well study art". Just get a job. Art is too risky to dive in like this. I'm not saying you have to be "talented" but if you happen to be a slow learner it gets harder and harder to stay sane every year.
>>

if you're going to college dont do it for art. its more expensive, if you want to go to school for art go to an atelier its cheaper and better. choose IT but go to a trade school for this. check this channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYvYNO5N8FM ask him a question and give him 20 bucks.

Barista. Literally a stereotype. Gives me rent money, pays my bills, free coffee and food, and I draw on my breaks. Paid vacation time. Health care through them is cheap, which has helped me with my chronic wrist problems from the job+drawing all the time.
I've also been a cook, but the place I worked at was shady as fuck and paid me a week or two late consistently. I miss those huge paychecks of overtime though. Was pulling more than two grand biweekly consistently with no degree and no experience.

I'm a shift supervisor at a pharmacy and it doesn't give me time to do anything. I'd like to quit in a couple months but I don't know where else to go because it's been my only job for five years.

Freelancing is tough, you need a hefty amount of self dicipline otherwise you wind up wasting a lot of time which leads you to being too poor to do anything but work and be lazy. That's what happened to me. Working at a studio has been nice for the social benefits as well as the daily structure it affords but ofcourse it also has its downsides. In an ideal world it would be great to be able to switch between freelance and studio work every 6 months because they both have pros and cons.


For a while while I was freelancing I would apply to the various companies around town every other week. I got a few art tests and interviews, and a few callbacks but nothing really came of it and after a while I got lazy and gave up applying and instead kept at the freelancing.

About 8 months later out of the blue I got a response to a bg painting application I must have sent in at some point. And it turns out a guy I knew had recommended me for the job. I did a test, had an interview and that was that.


Good advice: Keep applying and make contacts. If people like you and you're at least good enough to do a job, they will get you that job. If you don't know anybody then just apply everywhere every now and then. It's all about applying at the right time.
>>
Oh I should also add as obvious advice: Git gud.

If you're good, people will notice and the freelance will roll in

Pretty good improvement. You should spend time learning to actually draw though and not just render. That skull's forms are all messed up even though it's all carefully rendered. It's like you never looked at structure. Also look at Ruan Jia less.
>>
>>3042336
It definitely depends on the job. I'm lucky because the art I'm doing is grounded in some realism and thus is enjoyable to do. After considering that I'd say freelance is generally a better option if you want to keep your sanity.
>>
>>3042339
Thanks for the critique Anon, I agree completely with the forms, you're spot on with your assessment. Though I'll move on from Ruan Jia until I learn all his secrets

There's decent money to be found in it, but much like the art industry, it depends on how you brand yourself and what your product is.

There's weight loss specialists and strength development trainers who are all about hands-on sessions, and then you've got people who use their certification to help sell books, meal plans, training plans and promote videos.

You could be a long distance online trainer for multiple clients as an alternative option. If you got yourself a floor position at a chain gym like Gold's then you could have the clientele acquisition side of the job taken care of you entirely by the facility, but obviously the gym will have to take its cut from your earnings and you'll have to play by their rules; still, plenty of beginning trainers use the chain facility as an easy place just to get stabilized in the industry with an easy steady check before they dive into their own self-promotional practice.

I freelance PT through a mid-sized facility that lends a hand in siphoning clients from the city, and I market myself as a weight loss specialist through social media and shooting the shit with people I meet.

You won't necessarily have to drop a ton of cash just to run your operation, but some of the certifying agencies are pricier than others. Not necessary to get your cert, but it gives you more clout and job opps for sure.

Honestly, if you just find one person who can benefit from what you can teach them about lifting (and making sure that they know it's your line of work), do good by them and chances are they'll give you references to more clients without needing to hunt them down

kek I was trying to vibe peter han, this shit is literally two years old since I don't photograph any of my art. Speaking of eyes the other half of that drawing is relevant and out of focus. I didn't realize how kawaii that shit looked

Maybe not visually, but story-wise I'm sure you have tons of weirdos that walk in or you talk to. With enough creative time to stew you could create any number of things.

I'm just saying this because there are innumerable projects very famous illustrators have created, that had very little to do with actual illustration.

This goddamn, I used to work in a call center for consumer loans and heard all kinds of crazy shit, plus the people you talk to can be total cartoons.
Just imagine what those people look like, what their day-to-day activities are, and how they get into the situations they're in.

We weren't allowed to have paper or writing instruments because of the secured area, but the computers had MS Paint and there'd always be extended opportunities to play around while waiting for calls, being on hold, waiting for the person on the other end to do something, etc. Using a mouse to draw in MS Paint really helps you get past the tools you're using.
When you can't save anything at the end of the day, it makes you stop getting so attached to your art and worry less about making mistakes.

i took the first job i got and now im struggling to not die
you know what it does to creativity to wake up 5 AM to do shit till 14 just to get home at 16 and have 5-7 hours left?
its not gonna boost your creativity
i have to focus to get my network together and motivation up.. it feels forced at times

also now when i pander to an internet demographic, internet feels offended and very nazi about it. which feels fucking stupid af me

weebs and furries fighting each other as if its not the normies you should be worried about (youre all the same to them, just nerds)

I have no education or job, I have ADD, panic disorder and chronic depression, yet I want to learn how to draw better.

I work as an architect, in orange county. Sometimes I even get to do a little bit of illustration. 95 percent of the work is entirely uncreative though

Full-time biomechanical engineering student who survives off of scholarships and pocket change.
I study around 10 hours a day when I'm not at school; draw in breaks. Needless to say I do not have many friends.
Better than working at Burger King. *shudders*

I always hear this coming straight from architects. And honestly, it's scaring people like me from wanting to study it knowing the expectations vs reality is going to be a rough ride and may not be worth it. I do love drawing buildings though.

I'm 22 and my mom just told me it's time for me to get out and be self sufficient because I'm an old man. My art skills aren't pro level yet. What do I do?

I work at UPS as a box boy for a few hours in the morning. I don't get to draw while at work since it's so busy, but I do get to listen to 4-5 hours of podcasts/audiobooks which I use as fodder for creative thoughts.
>>
I work at a Petco. There's no time to draw on the job, but the management is reasonable about hours so have time to practice and study outside of work. The job still sucks though, since its tiring as hell.

Get a regular job like the rest of us? Look we all have to survive somehow. Look for a job that won't suck up all your energy and time.

Same, but I actualy find human body interesting and don't mind learning about a bit.

You could try to convince her to let you stay longer. Do as that other Anon says and get a job still, but then you can just work part time and still have a good amount of time to study.
