Why are some people so cheap when it comes to art?
>>3056372
If your audience are some cheap plebs/teens that are paying for art from their allowance, then this is how it looks like.
It's exactly the same as graphic designer doing $50 logo. And there are people doing $50 000 logos.

Plumbers make a lot of money
>>3056372
why do you feel entitled to earn more than a plumber? are you way more skilled than the /ic/ average?
In an ideal market, a desirable job should have a lower monetary compensation than an undesirable one.
>>3056372
Is this the new hot meme? Artists aren't getting paid enough? I like it.
>>3056372
how does he expect the artist to eat? doing that would leave no time left for another job and doing another job would leave no time left for art jobs
so which is it gonna be- 'costly art' or no art?
>>3056372
Why do some people choose to become artists instead of plumbers / video game streamers / office managers and then complain when they end up earning less than any of them?
>>3056372
Thank God there's a red circle on that pic so we know which part to look at.
>>3056372
because plumbers are way more useful than you are faggot.

Who the fuck needs a plumber?
I'm not saying anyone needs artists, but when was the last time you saw a plumber outside of a porn?
>>3056392
But it's the reality. In what world do you live in to think that artists are actually well paid?

plombers so useful
drawing is about the easiest, least useful skill any human with eyes can acquire
>>3056372
Plumbers make a fuck load of money actually.
>>3056548
that would be secretary work, phone sex hotlines, cashier work, pet-sitting, assembly line and whatever your job is
and yet they still all get work
>>3056563
are you retarded? reread this sequence of posts and try again

>drawings
>not useful
>what are images everywhere
Although, people nowadays are taught to communicate through words so much, essays are assigned all the time, but full fledged drawings? Hah, who cares? Fuck the school system.
>>3056426
It's still one of the better paying blue collar jobs you can have, which means they'res still demand.

like you would stain your lilly-white artist hands with poopoo.
>>3056372
>plumber makes more to unclog your poopoo
Doubtful
>video game streamer makes more for just shouting some memes
Either you spend years getting to the front page, get sponsored, and make enough to retire early, or you skirt by, just making enough money to pay rent without earning any marketable experience, having no health insurance, and dooming yourself to isolation.
>office manager makes more falling asleep at his desk
And likely went to college for years and then climbed the corporate ladder. Or nepotism.
Obviously you need to make more connections, nepotism is everything.

There's your problem. Don't take contracts from 16 year olds, and you won't get paid chump change.
Any decent contractor (e.g. a legitimate company) will easily shell out a couple hundred, if not thousand, bucks for an illustration or whatever.
People don't understand the amount of work that goes into a professional illustration.
