STARVING ARTISTS GET OVER HERE AND WATCH THIS VIDEO!:www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWXYoD…

It's really relevant to me right now, because suddenly people have been asking me about my canvases and cut outs... like people I know. I think it's because I posted this picture on my facebook. (which I hardly ever do because I'm like invisible with my friends and family when it comes to my art.)

How it looks in my room BTW: ceshira.tumblr.com/post/408915…

And what the guy says in the video is true. People expect you to do free work because "Hell, it will only take you a few minutes."

Well no it doesn't. For one thing, I take my sweet ass time because I worry that if it looks bad, I'll see how limited my abilities really are. AND THEN MY FAMILY WILL CRITICIZE ME SAYING "SHE QUIT BEING A NURSE FOR THIS? PSSSHHHH" (I have some issues with family's judge-y eyes.) So yes, I think the emotional stress I would have to be put through is worth something right?
I worked on my drawing abilities for years now (that sounds so weird of me to say since I'm young and have only taken an Art 1 class in high school xD), and it should rewarded....

I swear I'll stop with the rant now.

Ok ok I've calmed down now. Not all of my family is like that. One is offering to pay me for a portrait. yay!

For my final thoughts, I want to thank all of you who support me, and commission me, comment me, and WELL HELL JUST FOR BEING HERE WITH ME.


I know I'm a sap, but I really do appreciate it you guys.

I'm so happy that I cleaned up my inbox and answered everyone too xD

I get what you mean, sometimes my friends criticise me about how practical it wouldn't be and tbh its kind of true in a way which can really make a person confused.

i personally think that you're being pretty brave cuz these are hardcore problems which you are choosing to face to achieve what you want which is really admirable.
LOOOOVE YOUR ARTWORK, GAH IM SO JEALOUS OF YOUR COLOURING
