  • Hello. I studied fine arts two years, then illustration for three at uni, then did 3d design and animation for some other three years.

    Let me tell you, making a living as an artist is incredibly, very very extremely difficult and even harder - at least three times harder - than what you imagine.

    I’m currently struggling with a plebe job in retail. And I do have some solid artistic skills. I was usually among the top of my class, anywhere.

    My advice to you is, drop sculpture and pick something else. I would not recommend fashion design unless you feel it’s a super strong calling- remember you can learn these things at your own pace if they turn out to be something you still have an interest in.

    Just pick something that gives you a “job title”, anything. Anything non artistic is much more likely to be useful to you if you don’t have a strong need or conviction to express yourself artistically. This shouldn’t even be a question; an artist knows what they are and flies straight into the flame. It’s crazy. If you don’t feel the calling, please do something useful for your future.
