I thought this was gonna be an April fools things but then got hit with actual good advice and inspiration
when april fools fools you with itself
i’m so sorry people are discrediting this genuine advice bc they think it’s a prank lol. art is literally like any career path, it just might not be the thing you need to pursue as a livelihood even if you enjoy it. that doesnt mean being an artist is pointless, and you can even still make money on the side if you want, but committing to *anything* full-time is a very important decision to make for yourself.
Yes! totally agree, and haha it's my bad for forgetting today was april fools!
I literally enjoy art so much even for a career… I’d also wanted to help my parents but as the oldest now I feel useless
Man I've spoken to so many people who were considering quitting art and I always say do what makes you happy! If art no longer makes you happy then don't do it. If you wanna draw for fun and not pursue a career then just don't. Art is supposed to be a fun and happy thing so if you aren't happy then it defeats the point.
Guys this isn’t an April fools joke wtf😂😂she’s being serious chill
I adore drawing and I've been doing it since I was a kid. In 12th grade I took AP Art and realized I could never create on a schedule. Everyone in my class was creating their portfolio for art school, but I decided to go to college for history. Illustrating is just something I do for me. It helps me process the world/my emotions. It's even helped my retain information for large history exams
do you still have a lot of time to draw while your in college?
i don’t know if i want a career in art because i have a hard time staying consistent/forcing myself to draw and practice. but i can’t see myself doing anything else
Same! I love drawing but I simply can't bring myself to draw, everything distract me and I end up only doing some small sketch in a whole week. I don't remember when I finished some drawing for 100%
i feel this! :(
Oof, I hear ya! That used to be me before college. I’m currently doing an animation program and it has helped me be more consistent with my personal art and has definitely forced me to practice. I think doing more makes you want to do more... if that makes any sense.
Maybe setting goals/mini projects for yourself could help and practice completing them by a certain deadline. For example, complete a full drawing with colour once a week (or any length of time that works for you). Then increase the frequency once you’ve done it consistently for a while. It’s much easier to draw frequently once you make it a habit. Hopefully this helped?
@@bamb3928 such good advice!! thank you for this, really. i could relate with the original comment and i found your reply helpful
@@katchii93 I’m glad I could help! 😊
when junior year of high school hit, I had no idea what I even wanted to do in college. I had started drawing a lot for fun and thought it would just stay that way because I (and a lot of other art kids in my grade) was told most of our lives that "art isn't a career" and that I should major in something math or science related since my grades were so good. Yeah I like learning science topics but I think I would've lived the rest of my life in regret if I had to work in a lab or be doing research as a career. I would've been stable but miserable.
So did you pursue art as a career?
I worry that doing art isnt for me because I dont know what else to do with my life
if art feels right to you at this moment in time, keep following it!
@@mewTripled I don't draw very often, and I have to force myself to sit down and draw something for an hour, it could be because I'm not disciplined
I feel this way too, honestly I worried that I didn't actually want to do art, I just didn't know if I could do anything else, but I realized even though I didn't 100% know and it didn't feel picture perfect, I knew I wanted to do it more than any other option I could find, and now im doing industrial design. Although something that might help is just sort of checking in with yourself and asking if you're hesitant about art because you genuinely don't think you want to, or if you're actually worried about going into the field because you're feel like you're not good enough at it and its based on anxiety, since I used to think I didn't want to do it, but I realized over time I was just scared I wouldn't be good enough. I hope this helps
@@kianavu5401 well I dont feel like I'm wasting my time when I practice or draw or sculpt or whatever and the thought of this being a lifetime journey for me to go on doesn't feel.as terrifying as it sounds
@@sonicfreak04 I honestly think it's worth a shot then! If you honestly feel like it's something you could do and it's not really scary to see yourself doing it for a life time then I think it's definitely worth it! Also yeah honestly you're not gonna love it or want to do it all the time, and even if you love something you are going to hit that point where you don't want to practice all the time, I honestly don't want to practice drawing a lot of the time either, but as long as you like it enough to commit to it, then it's worthwhile.
I used to want to be a full time illustrator and even did some commissions a while ago, including a couple of children's books. Then one day I realized that I was happier having a day job with flowing income because it meant less stress for me personally. I haven't given up on my art and have had some success using my art as supplemental income. I'll continue to improve my skills and to find inspiration from other artists like yourself.
I want to pursue art as a full time job but my issue is that I don’t believe in myself enough as well as not having good enough skill and style in art :\
I’m soon to be in my 30s, and know many professionals who are in traditional white collar jobs. Other careers are far more stabler but they don’t have the project like flexibility that art has; it really depends on your ability to hustle for new projects, market yourself, collaborate with other artists, etc., and how strong your purpose is on why you do art. Part of it is finding your audience, lifestyle and what percentage of your income you want from art. it’s very personal for everyone
It seems like a lot of your fans think this is an April Fools video,
but this is honestly the best advice out there for young artists to hear.
I'm just starting my second studio job as a BG artist, and even as a newcomer, studios still expect you to draw whatever is needed for the project, regardless of if you have experience drawing it or not. It forces you to learn on the job, because if you throw in the towel and say you can't do it, they find someone else.
You can love drawing but this is a serious and competitive career. If you're not willing to study like hell and get out of your comfort zone, unfortunately you may not get hired.
I don't want to discourage anyone, but I want to share my opinion from what I've experienced
second BG artist job :0 do you have an instagram? It would be so cool to talk to artists in the industry :)
As a professional in the VFX field, I couldn't have said it better myself. This lifestyle is not for everyone. Moving around constantly, having to make new friends every time you move to a new country/city, extremely long workweeks during crunch (80+hrs/week). These things are all important to consider when making career choices. Sometimes I wish I could slow down, or have doubts about my future but I do love the experiences that working in this field has given me and I will continue on until I can't anymore, then I will likely end up switching to a more stable industry that I can still apply my skills to and keep art and drawing as a hobby
This shouldn't be just a April Fool's joke, should be a fact 😔😔😔
You pointed out a few if not all reasons I stayed away from becoming a full-time artist. This is exactly what I need at the moment. Thinking about going back to illustration after 3 years haven't drawn anything. I still remember it was once something that made me thrilled, but I was not fully committed to it in the journey of learning it. I gradually felt frustrations much more than any happiness. Recently I'm revisiting and reflecting on my past career choices. I want to give illustration another try to determine where I go next. Thank you for the video. You are a talented artist.
I'm just hoping I can get a job with art, I feel like I don't know how to do anything else since I've been focusing on art so much
Same!! I just make art everytime, I have such a big passion for art and I want to work with it, I feel like I can't work with anything else!
I'm in my final year of an Illustration degree now but I remember in high school I wasn't sure about perusing art as a career because I didn't know if it was a hobby or not for me. I knew I loved drawing but I was scared of losing that enjoyment haha! I chose to do art in college along maths and sciences and that was when I realised art was more than just a hobby, it was a subject where I would be able to spend time on regardless of how busy or stressed I was and It was a subject I enjoyed doing extra-curricular for. I think the way I knew it was more than just a hobby was that when it was super painful and I got bad grades or bad feedback I still enjoyed the subject and wanted to improve! This video has so much great advice in it thank you for sharing
This topic gives me SO much anxiety. I’m so worried about making enough money with a job in art and I’m worried about not being able to get a job. I don’t feel like I’m good enough. Work is basically your whole life so I need to like whatever I do and make money to live from it. I like art but maybe I shouldn’t have it as a career. But it’s also the only thing I can see myself enjoying. It’s too late to change my mind about what I’m going to do as a career anyway because I’ve already spent too much money on college and I feel like I’m wasting time, money, and energy. I literally get so overwhelmed by pretty much everything important in life. It’s why I feel like I’m 5 years behind my peers.
Feel the same..like exactly how u described it..im in class nice and i really wanna pursue art because that's is what I genuinely enjoy.i feel very stuck because I'm not good in studies and i don't want to be stuck in a nine to five job...i really wanna find what makes me happy and i always come back to art...i also feel I'm not good enough tho..pls help...how did u get over it?
I have been through a lot of vocational crisis and I more than ever know that I want to pursue an art career, (When I was younger I thought it was just a phase) but I would lie if I tell I don't have any fears and doubts.
I was going to aim for business but realized I hated math and wanted to be more honest with myself. I knew I wasn’t consistent with Art but loved it so much that I winded up not choosing it, but rather went for graphic design because I knew it’d improve me as a creative individual while making money and not sacrificing something I love most. I also am a great editor, so making ads for designs and whatnot became almost second-nature. Many people can make it as an artists but the one thing most forget is reality. You have to be consistent and draw so much to show off your level of knowledge, use different mediums, and so much more that I can’t bring myself to use it as a career
This was actually really encouraging and makes me realize what areas i need to work on if I want an art career. I never realized how project driven the career is and that's very true... which means I need to start my own projects with deadlines to get practice...and I need to expand my comfort zone in art... perspective...here I come...
I trust nothing and no one on April 1st
i should have remembered T_T goodbye wasted opportunity...
Oh girl, this is what i really should have hear when i was 17 and thought i could make through😔 Ive lost best years of my life pursuing nothing and being constantly drained and stressed, really, this stuff is not for all and earlier you understand it, easier your life will be...
Same, and also know more about how to find a job in the art feild..
I still do it for fun and every once in awhile I get commissioned.
You get screwed, ghosted, etc. So you create stricter and stricter guidelines. And it's hard to dedicate yourself fully to a art career path when you also need income. If we can survive on just my husband's income, he would let me focus on my work without hesitation. But we have a mortgage now and soon getting a vehicle.
So sadly...I had to admit to myself that art will be a passion and a hobby for me. Never a career, I'm stuck at a factory and I can't see myself going anywhere else that makes good pay and decent benefits. My body is crumbling, fighting with physical and mental health. But was better off than I was 5 years ago.
So yeah, if you can dedicate, discipline yourself and know people. Go for it, but it's not the end of the world if you can't find a career in the world of creation.. I had to convince myself that. Sometimes I still do. Just depends on you :)
@@woish771 im looking for normal job and draw things just for fun now hahaa
@@math_rd I’m currently in college for animation and I get to listen to industry professionals chat and vent all the time. Sure, the pay isn’t out of this world but it’s decent. It depends what kind of lifestyle you want to live and what sacrifices you are willing to make. Also where you live plays a big factor in career choices. I got lucky that my interests matched with the jobs available in my area.
Passion is part of it but definitely not all of it. For some people, passion plays no part. Some animators just do their jobs and go home. They are good at what they do and they are using it to make money. It’s also the community and the creative opportunities. I don’t know what I would be doing if I wasn’t pursuing animation so I’m willing to go through all the ups and downs of the Industry. Sorry for the rant, I’ll stop myself now before this becomes a novel but yeah, not all art careers have the same pros and cons. It’s worth exploring different art careers, not all are freelance (which is a deal breaker for many people).
Something to consider about art being your career is that your leisure will become your labour - do you have some other creative outlet to fill the spot that art used to so that you can actually wind down? I think it’s very important for everyone to have a creative hobby, something that isn’t just consumption (gardening rather than watching tv for example)
I have a full time job making 6 figures, and have ample time. I dont want a full time art career, cause I dont want to be a slave to a company. I just want to do my own art and market myself to get me another supplemental income.
it might not be the best choice for you to pursue art as a CAREER. but here are some reasons why you should WORK towards progress on it:
-if you genuinely enjoy art, it can be something that will make you happy! maybe not as a full time career, but perhaps just a hobby.
-if you're in school, art can really help sometimes. I've gotten extra points for creativity in my projects before, which really helped me make up for technical points. additionally, knowledge in anatomy can also help in school.
-it can get you friends! people who can't draw for their life will see you as a god (don't get too self-absorbed though lol), and I've gained a friend before from them complimenting my art. skills will elevate your likeability.
-maybe don't make art a full time career, but more of a side hustle if you're young, have plenty of free time, and interested in money! the better your skills are, the more people are likely to pay for a commission!
if i come up with more reasons later, i'll add them.
Me who's already in an animation course: 👁️👄👁️
Awesome :)
Oops
This came out right as I put in my proposal to my advisor to leave art and go on a self designed major in psychology and something else. Honestly just reassured me that I'm making the right decision for me. I was gonna be an art teacher but seriously this video just really made me feel so much more confident to leave art as a career and be happy doing other passions.
The advice made me want to continue art more. It made me realize what I'm missing in my art if I want to be in the industry. Glad I found this video
The it becoming stressful when it was something to relax you is soooo true, and I'm sorry if it discourages some of you. I was a calligraphy artist at Disney and at peak times I was working 6 days a week for 10 hours or more. Yes, I loved what I did. But when it's timed or have to be in a certain style it's different.
ngl i was just thinking about this. I want to try out commissions and owning my own art shop but sometimes I worry about their stability. I also want to be a fulltime comic artist as well
thank god it wasnt a cheesy april fools video. i really like these tips since Im pursuing this rather than something else I was before.
I LOVE YOUR ART STYLE SO MUCH!!
thank you!!
i pesonaly won't become an artist just because of all the effort i put into school
im sorry but i pull all-nighters for my french exams for it to be useless in the future? no thanks
and i don't want art to be more than the fun hobby i have after-school.
this is just my way of viewing things for myself ! if you wanna do art even if you get straight A's then do it !
I WAS HIT WITH A WAVE OF PAIN AND THEN I REMEMBERED ITS APRIL FOOLS DAY KGJHFDSSGHJK
omg am i the only one who forgot its april fools XD DAMMIT
@@mewTripled I did too … I did too. 🤦♂️🤷♂️😅
In the middle of 2020 I got my BFA in a tough graphic design program that I hated, I was supposed to learn animation and new media but they didn't have enough students to make those classes happen so pushed through anyways because my parents saved their whole lives so I could go to college. Now I've been working a low paying job since regaining my sanity and working on personal projects, learning more of what I wanted than when I was paying for an education. I'm working towards teaching certification so I can make okay money and get benefits and summers off to continue trying to achieve my dreams in my own time :) and maybe I can help some other artists like my art teacher did for me
This reignited a lot of worries...
I was deciding to take animation for college but now I feel like im going to crack from uncertainty.
I agree. For me, i want to be an aniamator, illustrator and comic book artist. But then I enjoy working with clay and new materials. I enjoy a lot of aspects of art. I haven’t made a lot of money with my art however it’s teaching me a lot
Ive had a hard time getting in my field for graphic design. It sucks cause I always wanted to work in a firm wither its illustration or graphic design but its been a lmost a year since i have graduates and still nothing. And my art instagram isnt growing so I'm in a tight spot...i want to make this a career in the future but its so tough....
you should’ve tagged ur ig. we could all support
this is accurate I've been working as an artist on indie games and yes after the project you go broke for the meantime until you find another job.. bruh its stressful sometimes
You spoke about former art people still following you but I'd like to think you have a lot of followers that aren't in art at all! I'm a forensic accountant; I just really love your art and videos! You really, truly are inspirational :)
I studying to be a teacher for low grade levels but I want to keep doing my art as a side job like making a comic or just keep it as a hobby (sorry for if my English is bad is not my first lenguaje)
After being in community college for 2 yrs studying art and planning on transferring soon, I feel like I am NOW starting to take art more seriously. I am still juggling of either being in the animation or illustration career and I feel like I am spirling since the transfer application due date is coming in 2 months. I want to do art as a career ever since I was a child, but I am not sure what exactly I really want to do....
Any update about your art journey?
I thought this was some April fools joke but this is actually some really good advice. I love art, especially storyboarding or character designing but I can get really scared because I’m afraid that I won’t be able to make enough to stay in my area or something like that. But at the same time I don’t really know what else I would if I didn’t do art :( any tips or anything?
Lol I’m in the same boat🥲 maybe ask yourself why exactly you like storyboarding and character art? And study study study to get better :) look up drawabox- the website gives free lessons and exercises for artists. I’ve been doing it for a few weeks and my art improved ALOT.
This video is actually very encouraging! I always though I'd do art as a career when I was a lil kid, but now that I'm older I've seen stories about the industry that make me not want to work in it (I haven't had any personal experiences in the industry because I'm still in school, I've just been looking into other people's to decide if I want to pursue that career). A lot of people always tried to feed me the "follow your dreams" narrative, but it's not realistic at all, so it's nice to hear an artist say that you can just keep it as a hobby and it doesn't make you less of an artist. I'd rather keep art as a hobby and do something else that I enjoy but am less passionate about then have all of my love for art stripped away by capitalism :/
Haven’t watched yet ready to cry
Soooo I think because we are the first of april a lot of people are getting confused but this video is actually pretty serious/insightful
But anyway if you feel art is what you really want to do go for it !
And if you're having doubt I'll advise to stick with it if you haven't anything else to hold on to until you make your mind (which can take sometimes a lot of time) and always remember to always do your best !
I agreee! I was an animation major when I first started college but making things for my assignments made me lose my spark. I still enjoy creating,,, but not a career path. I'm starting back school in the fall as a marketing major and im really excited! This video helped me come to terms with art just being a good hobby for me so I don't drain my passion for it as a job. Thanks Mew
"Specialy as a storyboard artist you need to know how to draw fucking everything" i felt the frustration in this sentence 🤣🤣
Thats so true ❤️ Just don't do it if you are too weak, find your way in different job👍
welp time to drop art and become a software engineer
Oh gosh this video is so gosh darn helpful- ty for making this video ahsdkj I feel like I now have a lot to think abt what I genuinely want to do instead of pouncing onto an art career just bc I like art, thank you for the great advice
art is def not a career for everyone, yes there are so many different jobs that involve art in some way, but a lot of hard work is involved in most of them
This just told me that i should actually write my comic idea that I've been thinking about since 7th grade.
The one thing that's holding me back is the fact that art buisnesses are not common in my country and Ik it's not always abt the money but still
I ain't doing a boring 9 to 5 job. I am not even gonna find a job, I'll just make a business. In today's day and age most jobs doesn't have a future for the average joe.
you can still make art with out it being your career
I wanna make webcomics 👀💕
do it!!
This scared me then I remembered today’s date
im glad that i was still able to somehow participate in april fools without actually intending to xD
@@mewTripled you got us good girl 😔
Well i like art like not just passionate about it but i also suck at pretty anything else and its not like i havent tried
See? i even suck at writing this
damn u draw so effortlessly 😮
My problem, that i can't work anywhere anyhow, i can't be anyone, working is a torture for me, i'm already destroyed myself with drawing and just unable to draw anymore now, so my life is doomed. I realize those things said in video by myself. But no one saying to people like me how to survive and live this life...
Amazing!!! love your drawings they're wonderful, I hope one day I can draw like this 😃😄😊
thank you!!
This video made me think a lot! I really love art, but fear of missing that spark. Would love to pursue it as a job, but also I'm not sure. Thank you for the food for thought LOL
This def gave me some stuff to think about. But I'm not tryna do it for the moneys, it's not just a phase, i could put up with that project to project style if it was smth I love, which it is lolol
I just really love art and I love doing art. Speaking of which, I got quite a few art things I been meaning to do lately that I should get to lolol
thanks for the video! For me it made me want to pursue an art career even more!
Kinda in that period of my life where I really am confused about it. I means, art is literally the only thing where I kept being consistent in life both with learning and trying new teqniques, and I also know where exactly I want to go. But still, I am at my first job and I'm enjoying it yet is exhausting at the same time, so the fact I'm not used to the fatigue is probably confusing me?? My workaholism surely does not help, but the fact is... I see myself in no other place than art :x
I'm early! Thank you for your videos they are always so helpful I'm sure I'm gonna love this one :)
Thank you so much!!
I got so confused until I read the comments lol 😂
honestly im confused too xD
@@mewTripled 😂
That title almost gave me a heart attack, glad I watch the video. Thank you for the words of wisdom
The title is breaking my heart.....its just a joke right.....april fools..??
man i really should have planned ahead and remembered...
I had so many dreams of being an artist and I finally had a shot at a tattoo apprenticeship.. but I have a 6 month old baby and I just wasn’t able to keep up with him AND being there most of the week until late at night. Between that and his appointments and the fact that I was making zero dollars to peruse this for an unknown amount of time, I just couldn’t do it all. I had so little family time, and it broke me. I had the career of my dreams right in front of me but I had to walk away and I still wonder if I made the right choice. I’ll probably never get that chance again. I want an art career so bad, but I just don’t think it will give me the stability and work-life balance I need with a child 😔 I feel selfish for still hoping I can make it work some day.
I was a bit scared before watching this but I realized I really do wanna pursue art
Asked this on a different vid but then remembered you said you don't often check comments on older videos lol Do you have a tutorial on how to bind a sketchbook like the one you're using?
Architecture is not project based right?
T_T
@@mewTripled OMG this is the first time someone who I look up to replied to me!!!
I was contemplating whether to choose art or psych. Good thing I chose the latter, 'cause I'm not really confident with my drawing. My brother has told me that there's also competition in art 😅and I don't think my drawing wouldn't be competent enough to go against other drawings :
this was pretty helpful thank you!! i will stick with something similar to graphic design, but i’m worried I won’t be good enough :/
This video confort me soo much in my choice to pursee a career in history and keep art as a hobby ^^
Thank you for your content
I keep going back and forth between wanting to do art as a career and not....but mainly because I don't know what I need to do to start looking.
Like I want to be a character designer, I know a bit of what I need in my portfolio, but when do I know my portfolio is ready to be submitted to strt job hunting?
Hi it feels like I've said this a million times, but you're a huge inspiration for me and I absolutely love what you do :) keep it up
okay but this is genuinely good advice
Right now I wouldn't go after a career in arts...
Probably because I'm still studying to get in college.
But I will probably keep drawing on the side and stuff. And should, in the future, a opportunity present itself, I would study it and make a decision. I mean, we are talking about the future here. Nothing is certain, and I find a little of hope in that, because it means that things can change.
Oh my god, I just did that "philosopher" thing
I should make a video about this
I didn't watch the video tho.... subtitles would be really apreciated.
Im having a life crisis at 17 cause idk whether to go through with my place at med school or do art :P
Do you want money or happiness or stability or flexibility it really comes down to want you value more do you have a passion for medicine or art ?
I want to work in the animation industry but I'm warding if it is possible to do it as a writer? I do draw but I think my writing is stronger than my drawings
i havent seen this yet but i kinda think im still gonna want to do art after this because im really into drawing and always wanna do it everyday, i already know what im gonna do and i dont mind if anything gets in mynway as im quite optimistic and i can always overcome it :) this sounded so cheesy aw man well, ill just say what i think after this xd
update:
wow! all of this was so helpful and opened up my mind, I'm still sticking to art as i have a good job opportunity in the future from family and im definitely ok with getting denied or having bad days. thank you so much for this video! also, great art style :D
I love art, and I want to work as a designer, of what? Till now I am not sure, even if I don't actually work with art I'm not going to stop drawing!! This advice is very nice ^_^~
Does performing arts count?
Time to re-evaluate my career choices
I wanna use art school as a path to become a really good tattoo artist that ACTUALLY is an ARTIST
You scared me for a second there not gonna lie lol
I was originally going to study illustration in college but went into accounting instead lol
I have not watched any of your videos in a while! (And some other art UA-camrs') but hello i came back
sometimes we can be doing the wrong kind of art, switching into illustration after thinking i would do med ill for life... not that fun i found out
nice vid! honestly enjoyed every second!
thank you!
Nice video!
love your videos
thank you!
Me, who doesn't want to peruse art as a career: oh no, anyways...
Edit: i do like making art but when it comes to "work" i rather do other things that i like (ie clinical psy).
So art become my "downtime".
I was so scared because you're literally my favorite artist vlogger then the title came. Scared the crap outta me, But then i realized it's April Fools day.
confused on how ppl were reading this as a joke because if they watched the whole video theyd realize
