A: The answer to that is you should be drawing right now. Stop making excuses. There is no shortcut to improving in art.
In short, you shouldn't just be drawing cartoon characters, but should be doing life drawing constantly. You'll then find that being a real artist isn't just 'getting into Calarts' or 'getting a prestigious internship', its a way of living.
It's a way of seeing the world.
Note, I don't even put Calarts/Pixar on my site because it isn't the artist I am today. Everything stems from my passion for storytelling, not a passion for sucking up and 'getting' some 'perfect' job.This question gets really annoying. I am an artist, not someone who is defined by something I did over a decade ago.
A: I have stated I don't do direct messaging on Instagram specifically. I got sick of everyone of enduring snippy quips half the time. If you have a professional inquiry, please actually use this is form to contact me by. I don't use socials for chatting with strangers. I shouldn't be expected to have to.
A: I do animate for fun, but it's nobodies business but I have been through horrible trauma in recent years and don't need to be judged for taking a break.
