>>7715471

>>7715459 (OP)

>>7715486
Let me guess, drawing porn? Is it worth it?

None, and I'm not sure I'd even want to make any from it

>>7715490
>drawing porn
No, i just suck dicks on discord and post myself crossdressing.
Maybe upload a slop generated pic once a week and get free patreon money.
>is it worth it
I have no soul but sure, come join my misery, friend, you're totally going to be rich too

>>7715494
Har har, wagecuck.

>>7715459 (OP)

First worlders are so lucky.

>>7715498
holy shit blog?

>>7715498
It sure does. Do you just make porn or other things as well?

>>7715479
A bit over a year from starting I started to get constantly commed.

>>7715534
You have a cute style. Congrats on your progress.

>>7715459 (OP)
Enough to pay off my car in a year so that's pretty great

>>7715482
But you could be making 10k a year, if you made another 5k drawing. That's leaving money on the table anon.

>>7715459 (OP)
$0

-200k in debt from art actually.

>>7715459 (OP)
This year, none, next year, at least 70k

>>7715619
Uh...wat

>>7715619
Lmao, let me guess buying citiq, ipad and graphics cards at /beg/ stage.

>>7715459 (OP)
This year? About 500 bucks but I'm still delusional
>>7715661
What's happening next year anon?

>>7715459 (OP)
no one commissions me and I spend all my money paying other artists

>>7715459 (OP)
a grand total of zero monies, drawing porn disgusts me and sfw commissions are dead.

>>7715459 (OP)
Zero. I have a real job, art is just a hobby.

>>7715459 (OP)
about tree fiddy

>>7715459 (OP)
Each year is different, worst case scenario 12-15k$ best case scenario 28-38k$
Doing game art environmental art or character animation.

60k drawing porn
Platform fees and taxes takes like 12k or it though

>>7716224
Do you supplement with a part-time job?

>>7716234
I live in eastern europe, the income tax here is 10%+400$ for healthcare/year
500$ is enough for me to live comfortably so I don't have to get an IRL job.

>>7716240
I almost feel like art dying in the west has to do a lot with only retard failsons having the financial security to do it.

>>7715619
>200k in debt from art actually.
Art School?

>>7715459 (OP)
I make nothing on art but to be fair my productivity sucked this year

>>7716408
Yes

>>7715459 (OP)
So far 120 dollars for one comm this year...

>>7716372
Just move to a poor country, work remotely doing art and ur gonna be one of the richest, is that simple.

i-i do it for passion not for m-money....

>>7715459 (OP)
two shawarma and one coke

>>7715459 (OP)
a couple wanted to pay me for a portrait and I said I'll do it for free.
I am an idiot... guess that's why I felt more attracted to art instead of making it big in STEM.
With canvases and paints I'd probably be at -500€ minimum

>>7715619
Calarts?

>>7715459 (OP)

$0.00 for this

>200K
>For Art School
Taking on debt for a Uni course that isn't almost guaranteed to get you a job, should have an age limit, like you need to be at least 25 or something. This shit feels like it takes advantage of young people's naivety or lack of maturity to make money, and it's fucking gross.

>>7715619
negative debt is actually just positive money, isn't it?

>>7717329
I've been thinking about this a lot recently as someone somewhat in school and how your kinda just pressured to get a degree even if it wont get you anywhere just because "having the paper is a benefit". And the whole thing just feels like a generational scam where each generation that got scammed pushes the next deeper into to justify a sunk cost fallacy. Young adults shouldn't have to force themselves into debt to reasonably start the next stage of life

>>7717640
But they learn so much important stuff in school, like indigenous science and groomology.

>>7715459 (OP)

negative $1000-ish. i don't sell my art but i aggressively commission my peers, being an HVACR tech pays well enough.

>>7717640
The thing is it WAS (and actually still is) a benefit, but since everybody's getting the same advice to go to college there's a lot of college graduates competing for the same openings and a lot of shitty colleges handing out degrees to accommodate the demands. It still generally beats only having a high school diploma.

Skill issue.
