The perils of school and art

Posted by jiggly-von - 6 hours ago


Hey Everyone, Baron here after so long.


As an artist, that never really got any formal art training or really any chance to flex my art muscles properly until I started college due to my upbringing, it's nice to finally be getting that in school. I am learning a lot of things I would have struggled to learn on my own, which is fantastic. That being said, I am learning of one of the most dreaded things about the process of art becoming a somewhat "career"/"not just a hobby". Which is that it can really drain a person of their art drive to have to do art not just for the sake of one's own drive, but to meet deadlines and for work related reasons.


I end up spending more time playing games or watching videos in my off time than actually drawing. (Which I hope to genuinely fix relatively soon). As someone that has struggled to stay consistently focused on just art due to ADHD, it's been a rough one having anything resembling consistency with my output on art my whole life. That being said, the recent stuff I have been making in my final years in school that allow me to really push what I want to make the most out of art has kind of rekindled a huge spark for me to do more. So here's hoping once and for all I can finally get some level of consistency out.


Especially in the context that now I need to have like... an actual decent sized portfolio, lol.
