Experience of Commissions, to Drawing, and to Reflecting - Being an Artist!
Being an artist is truly have been such a great skill that I have picked up, whether it'll come from drawing my own characters or drawing the characters of other people. I can certainly say that it's such a fun and interesting experience to be apart of. I have met so many cool people during my journey of being an artist myself, being able to express and share my interests to other people.
I have also grown to earn money from the people who have commissioned me as well, it is such a pleasure and an experience to be working with all of the clients that had come me to get their character drawn. And that's the fun of it because I would consider almost all of them my friend especially since they're the same people who would come to me for commissions.
To draw and to interact as a growing artist, I could comfortably say that I'm very happy with the group of people that I have joined in. They're all the sweetest people that I have ever met, even if they are people that comes from the other side of the world - I still appreciate them because this has been my first group where I was very included and very well known unlike the other groups I have tried to join in.
How can I relate this to commissions, to earning money from drawing? It's such as simple as being interactive with the people that looks up to me and to support them in their own arts and interests and you start to see that it's basically just a give or take towards one another.
Because that's how a good community is supposed to be, to support one another in their own ways.
I always find it very fun when someone messages me about wanting to commission me about their character, even with a long queue that I usually don't tell my clients about - I still accept them because I know that they're just as excited to see how their character would look like in my style.
At the end of the day, it's not just about the money that I'm after but rather the satisfaction, the happiness, and the excitement that they express whenever they get to see the finish piece albeit a sketch or a fully rendered piece.
To be a growing artist, I never have started to be as good as I am now but even so, I'm still growing and learning while developing my own style of drawing.
Art takes a lot of patience and I have been through a couple of bumpy roads of wanting to burn my art and love them at the same time, it's very not so different from raging at your own art.
Yet, even so from all the hardships of hating one's art then loving it, it just shows how over the time, you'll slowly learn to love your art and that's how it has been with mine.
From all the changing art styles, forms, and so many more - it'll never be the same piece from before.
And that's what I love about art, we get to create something new even from a tiny doodle that takes like 5 seconds to make; it's still something by the end of the day. Without artists in the world, do you really expect Earth to still be as lively and colorful as it is now?
Even if a person with no artistic 'talents' says that they are unable to produce work of art, it's not just from drawing or creating artworks but art itself can stem off from so many things such as writing, photography, and making. There is really no limit to art! It's just that simple and there's no need to overcomplicate the process just like what other people would usually say.
Art is supposed to be something that you're supposed to have fun doing and not feel forced into doing because if an artist were to force themself to draw, it'll be very obvious on what the outcome will be. Art is almost like a reflection of the soul of an artist after all.
From how things look, from the people I love to surrounds myself with, and to be happy to create the things that I always have daydreamed of. Someday, sometime; there will be a time where I may take my drawing more than just the digital realm.
Perhaps going to 3D sculpting, to making merch out of my characters, and just living that life I've always fulfilled from the very start.
I've always been very grateful from everything that had happened from me, to the bad and to the good; they all occur for a reason and even if it were something to be bad - how could you really blame life for it when you have no control over it, right?
Life is an obstacle and it's reasonable to get mad at it from time to time but it's not like life will always be bad towards you. There'd be times where it shows you the happier sides of it, to envelope in its warmth - like a mother's embrace in a way.
To be alive is the best thing you could brag about.
I love life just like how I love my friends and my art, hate is a strong word to use so I tend to not really use it so even if there may be times where I dislike it - it's still something I love. Nothing could make me hate it. I think living is very cool, right?
