So now I'm just a bit confused as to where to go from here. I'd love to express my creative side and get a job doing the thing I love most...drawing!
I'm not really sure what I want to be though. As an actual "artist" surely I'd be painting, drawing and then having to rely on these pictures selling? Not knowing when my next payday would be?
I've thought about being a children's book illustrator too...but not sure where to find the info etc. I can't afford to go to college full time, I need to be earning money and pretty quick. I'd love to find a job doing something creative, but I have no qualifications. Any ideas would be gratefully accepted!
