Updates, Current situation in Living of Arts and Reminder...
12 months ago
Hey sweets!!
First, thank you to all who read and accompany the Journal, regardless of whether there are comments or not.
As you know it is increasingly difficult to have arts sales, and I am carefully acclaiming the current situation to know if I will continue to sell arts next year, which has been a difficult battle for me to accept this situation, but sometimes it is the natural way of things to survive.
Some people have very different realities of my country and believe it is possible to live with a half -period salary here and be able to pay all bills and still draw (this is impossible here) so i dont will in the long ask for opinion here on Fa about my current situation because reading some things hurt, so much so that I deleted an old journal on the subject, which I asked for support to publicize my work.
If that happens, the moment I need to get another work full time, I will have to give up the arts, so I am very open about it, and I like to be transparent here, it is distressing to give up something I love so much and I did for 11 years.
It's not yet sure but I prefer to make it clear, I don't want to be an artist who simply 'disappears' after finishing all arts.
Of course I will keep everyone updated on this, I hope to be able to go back to selling art and have a better situation here, so I can continue drawing, but I need to be realistic in case that doesn't happen.
(I hope I didn't make any mistakes in this translation text, but let me know if I did or if something got confusing)
Thank you very much to everyone who has followed and supported my art, I will continue doing my best to stay here and have hope!!
I am currently working on the linearts of the next arts to be completed next month (for more details, follow Trello, link at the end of this journal)
For those who are interested, currently there are two ych open! (Ych 'Halloween Night Ritual' Reopen and Ych 'Girls, Sky and Roses' Open!!!)

Best of luck with everything Anglish 💜
But like you said, my mental and financial health can't handle it right now, and since I've been insisting on this for months, I'm psychologically overwhelmed.
There are good months (there really are times when there are no problems when I have good sales) but on the other hand, other months I go through really complicated situations (power cuts, lack of food, and delays in important bills) But I'm still trying, even although I know there's a possibility of say goodbye to selling art.
Hmm, essa é uma forma melhor de ver as coisas, eu fico animada em pensar que se for necessário parar de desenhar, seria algo temporário! Mas fico com medo disso, pois parece que está cada vez mais díficil vender artes e também sobre IA estar tomando espaço, e pensar em ficar meses inativa como artista... tudo isso me dá a ideia que se eu tentar voltar seria extremamente díficil , não acha? Sinto que manter o perfil ativo e uma frequência de postagens de artes é fundamental para continaur tendo alguma relevância.
I am not that active here but did you also branch out on other platforms too? To get a bigger circle of customers. You could also have a discord server and show your art regularly there and sales and all, there are some strategies that sometimes work. I'm so sorry you go through this!
Hmm, what you mentioned makes sense, I don't have any other site that I posts like I do here on FA, the idea of discord is a good idea, I'm a little insecure about not being able to maintain a 'high quality' discord channel, with frequent posts, something that attracts and keeps everyone involved, since in conversation I'm inefficient (I'm not so fluent in English that I can have vocal dialogues on discord, or streaming painting with interesting conversations with the chat, unfortunately).
And you can have a friend who you trust and speaks fluent English to be your moderator and helper! I can help you set up discord server too so it looks nice.
As for other sites I recommend Twitter and I think some said Thread is a good one too. You can also collaborate with other artists and make mixed artworks and see if anyone wants to. I really want you to not needing to give up this. <3
