what i do with my art?

hi guys, so..... i was having some thoughs about art and..
i feel kinda alone here because i don't have people who draw too, and people don't encourage me to do those things, outside internet people just look to my art and say "oh, nice" its cool that someone liked it, but i want more opinions idk how to explain.
my brother say to me to stude other things which will really give me money...
thats kinda destroyed my hopes and willing to do it, and people who works with creativity must have a good mind and not get sad or angry, and i am very emotionally sensitive :/
sometimes i feel like what i do is usless, but i want to do it
sometimes i just feel like im doing it for nothing, it will not give me a good future or something, PLEASE, don't compare my blog with Luxer, i just remembered that today, and i need to share this, i don't have real opinions here or motivation to do more, lately i show my drawings to my mom and she just answer "oh ok"
.-.
idk what i do now XD

If you like it, then I think you should continue with it! On top of that your art is great. Just don't take everything people around you say to art, you be the judge of what they say. Maybe if you're good enough one day, you'll make more than everyone around you combined. :P All I'm saying is, if you like it, keep doing it!

thanks and yes i like to do it, but i am very sensible, so somethings that people say, everyone says my drawings are amazing, but if i listen at least one "bad" thing like what my brother said, i feel really bad

All I can say is maybe try to control that a bit more. Stay calm. :P

I meant stay calm as in don't feel bad over it.
 
Bubsy's got a doodle dump, so why not start up your own art showcase thread? I'd certainly like to see it.

well, sometimes i create a single thread for one art, but i like this idea, create a single thread for all of my drawings :)
 
Sounds like you want praise and attention more than just drawing to express yourself or for enjoyment.
Art is definitely a field where most people throw away their lives for their art like idiots. The term starving artists exists for a reason. But if you can get into a legitimate field like, for example, game design or anything else that heavily requires artists, you'd do well in life and still be able to follow your passion of drawing. Whilst being happy.

If you can't draw something and be happy and proud of yourself, and then put that drawing away and still be happy never showing anyone, then you aren't doing it because you enjoy it or benefit from it. It doesn't enrich your life. You just want praise and attention, or other ulterior motives.
That's not to say you should never show anyone what you draw, or hide it. I just mean that if you aren't doing it for yourself, because you want to do it, then why the fuck do it. That's the most important thing.

also the emotional note is actually full blown retarded. Most art is considered a raw fucking expression of emotion. It's literally emotion on a page for most artists.

oh and in the same vein, fuck what other people say. Do what you want to do. You only get one life, live it how you want to. If I had a nickel for every time my dad criticized my decisions and passions i'd be posting this from my jumbo yacht.

well idk if i really want to be praised .-.
im kinda scared if i can do something with my art in the future because of the thing that my brother said, also, read peoples comment on internet makes me happy and wanting to draw more XD
also i don't draw just for others most part of time i draw for myself, even more because i want to get better, and when i don't feel good to draw, i start to think how the results will be, so it makes me want to draw and create someting great
 
Do the things you like it, but don't expect to do a substantial money of it, the probability of you becoming a great artist are very slim by statistics, I've seen your draws and they are not impressive, you are going to have good comments and bad ones on the internet as well in real like if you take this seriously
 
Well like I said, the most important part is doing it for yourself.
If you are, then you've already won.

As for art in your future, at the very least it's a good hobby.
But I mean there are tons of legitimate jobs depending on your specific artistic abilities. Like I said, game design is a big one. Character design, environment design, effect design. 2D and 3D modelling, creating banners and other commissioned art, etc. There are tons of things you can do with artistic talent. Luckily in this day and age, it's much easier to be an artist since it's not all about drawing for art galleries and shit anymore which is why most artists starved and died off.

well, i don't expect money from them, and i know they are bad, but i want to make them better, who knows someday i can work with it, i want to work with animation too
 
Looking for a well paid career that involves art is pretty hard the days, even if you do commissions for your living it wont be enough.

Sorry to tell you that, but that is common for artists. I really suggest you to continue drawing but as a hobby, then in the future you can take commissions so you can earn extra money for jiggles and stuff.

BUT, that doesn't mean you should stop dreaming and working hard to find a job that relates to art, everything is possible with hard work :)

I don't know where you get the idea artists are emotionally stable people, the exact opposite. A high degree of dysfunction seems to go along with the best artists.

First find out if you suck or not. If you suck get better or move on to something else.

Once you have determined you do not suck, no reason not to monetize and start making money now.

Plenty of outlets online will sale your art via prints & merchandising and get prints made yourself and get a booth at the flea market, fair, corners etc.

Producing the art is probably the smallest part of making money as an artist.

And if you do suck and you don't get better, here's some good advice from Mike Rowe.
