This was extremely helpful. I started in 2020 and I'm 28 now. Full time job, etc. It's probably too late to be an artist by trade, but I hope that by the time I'm 30 I can finally say " I did that. I'm proud of that." This is good advice.
I’m super glad the video was helpful! And yeah it would be very challenging to become a full time artist once you’re already late 20’s, but there’s nothing wrong with taking it slow and learning as a passion before you think of career options, especially since art is great as both a hobby and side gig given commissions and such! Wishing you luck with your goal!
@@StartMangaYou should look up Trent kaniuga on UA-cam. He's a concept artist and he's worked for a ton of different video game companies and he says companies don't really care how old you are as long as you can draw. There's been lots of different people that have switched careers like in their 30s and got it into concept art. As long as you focus and learn how to draw quickly, you can get into the industry pretty fast. A lot of people just don't know how to make a portfolio. Companies don't really want to see fan art. They want to see that you can like to sign characters and environments and props. Like those people that just draw like fan art of cute girls on Instagram video game companies don't really want to see that if you want to work as a concept artist.
Thanks for the video... although researching the topic. By Japanese youtubers who are professional illustrators and work in the industry. I was struck by a video about 5 habits of a good illustrator, ranging from drawing constantly, how to draw. Have a good eye for drawing, or in simple words develop the ability to observe ... and the one that caught my attention the most: Think while you draw. According to the yotuber, she puts this habit in the following way. Instead of thinking about drawing, create a situation to think about it. Under the order of creating a problem, then the answer and finally the verification of the answer. As if it were an exam. I see this as quite important. Because it poses the process of drawing as a process that tests your ability to think, to make decisions, and how to interpret both what you see. As what you really know and understand. Because following the order that the youtuber proposes. The problem would be the idea you want to draw. Be it a character or a landscape. Then the answer would be the drawing itself, based on how it answers the question of the problem. And the verification would be how well the drawing is done in general terms. If the proportions are correct, the anatomy is correct, if the positioning is right. And things like that. So it's better to see the idea of drawing as a question that we constantly have to answer. And that the drawings we make are the answers to those questions, especially in HOW to answer them. Understanding the How in How would you make the drawing? How would you make the pose? How would I use the tools at my disposal? How would I use the references to answer the question? And then verifying the answer. See how accurate the answer is or how it could be answered in another way. What is really important in this approach is the idea of forging a criterion when drawing. And make decisions based on what you want to achieve, where the clearer you have the answer. The easier the drawing process becomes. Understanding that drawing will always be a constant challenge and our duty as artists is to always give solutions to those challenges. Sorry if I did not express myself well.
>tediously practice skills over and over and over You mean drawing and challenging yourself? It's only tedious if you think of it as a chore. I would say that an artist has to learn to accept studies or even love them to improve skills without sacrificing mental health too much. :"Suffering" is not an important part of drawing, even if some suffer nonetheless
