My friend, you are placing too much importance on the fleeting things of life that will never fully satisfy you.

Please take a step back and realize that these things only bring fleeting emotional enjoyment, but never fulfillment.

Learn to become a better artist, and progress in your skills. You are doing fine. You will get there. Don't give up.

maybe so, but it would be nice to get some art from my favorite artist.

Awww, Chains. It sucks not having money for art, I know. Just keep practicing and you'll keep getting better. Use references and practice proportions.
Maybe we could do a trade some time :D

maybe.

Everyone knows that the things that bring happiness and are really important are usually not related to money, but no one will say that being able to afford the things you like isn't nice.

What kind of jobs are you looking for?

I don't know, something that isn't a desk job.

In the information age, most of the jobs you can find outside of food service are desk jobs, but they can be rough. (Though in general, you get paid more to do things that aren't enjoyable)

If you really want a job, even if for minimum wage, a good place to look is temp agencies for seasonal or temporary work. They are basically a service that finds unskilled work for large companies. I got a summer job using one after high school working at a warehouse for $10/hr, and all I did was cut duct tape, sort pallets, and count paper.
