Vent Sketch - Tedious
A vent sketch I made of an always relevant topic.
I've been drawing for 17 years almost, yet no matter what I do I never hit it off, and when this is basically your only "lucrative" talent and you're chronically ill, alone and unemployed in a shitty third world country it hits different not being able to rely on it for absolutely anything.
I need to eat every day like anyone reading this.
I've gone through heaps and heaps and heaps of advice of all shapes sizes and color, so I'm not looking for any of it, I'm looking for support, plain and simple.
I'm tired of being invisible and talking to walls across social media, style, subject and fandom don't matter, I'm just invisible anywhere.
And like I said, advice never did anything, I need actual support, people buying, sharing and getting my stuff out there, otherwise nothing changes.
I'm tired of feeling like I only draw for myself, and I'm beyond sick of being told to just do that, it gets old real fast you know? And solves nothing, absolutely nothing, don't demonize artists wanting to live off of their craft, or wanting attention for their hard work, your kind words about drawing out of love do not help anyone, I cannot buy food and pay bills with my love for art.
I try to be professional and not talk about my problems, but god damn.
