"Art saved my life." Being an artist feels great. You work doing what you love, and that is priceless. My first encounter with art was many years ago when I drew the characters from my favorite anime and comics. The first challenge was losing my job. The company I worked for scammed me, they used my designs and after several months without good pay, the company filed for bankruptcy and I lost what little I had. The second challenge was losing the fear of drawing for other people. But I realized that fear did not pay the bills or the food, so I decid.....Read more

Age does not define your skill level. - I'm currently a 26 y/o aspiring Digital Artist who still struggles, but I'll get into that a bit more after I discuss the beginning of my journey.  I started at a very young age, I would say around 6 to say the least. Being a kid, I just felt the desire to colour a picture.. draw a random thing. I never knew how much I loved Art until' I kept doing more than just grabbing a pencil and going to town. As I continued to age, a comic wasn't just a comic to me, I enjoyed the artistic side that was put into it......Read more

Hello, I'm Ionatha and I'm an architect and freelance illustrator from Indonesia. I've been drawing since my childhood, and I can't live without art and drawing. My journey began when I joined Roleplaying Group named Canvas Ranger. I met new friends, even artists who draw more beautiful than I am. After practice, I gain more confidence to draw far from my comfort zone. Draw building, comic, group photoshoot, armor, kamen rider etc. each drawing made me better and appreciate the details, and I want to give the best in every art that I made. When I joined the fac.....Read more

Growing Stronger. I've been drawing since I was really little, like 6-7 y/o and it always was the way for me to connect with and understand the world I live in, and at the same time, the world that lives inside me. Through the years many things happened, people come and go, but drawing was always with me, it's the thing that stayed and just grows in me eternally. It was difficult at the beginning to connect with others, to find people who fully support this one thing I want to do for the rest of my life, and fortunately I did, on the internet and in my hometo.....Read more

Drawing is a step in my life. 3 years ago I spent my life working in a hospital, but it felt so hard and made me a little depressed because I could not feel happy. So I decided to resign from the hospital and started drawing. At first I draw on paper with watercolors, it lasted for a year, until finally I met a friend who is good at digital drawing. I was interested and started trying to draw digitally. Yeah, that was very fun. Maybe this can be a good therapy for me. Now I am truly in love with digital drawing. Make beautiful art and can also make other people .....Read more

I'M DISAPPOINTED! I was accepted to Brawijaya University majoring in Public Administration in 2015 by invitation. At that time I was so happy that I jumped out of my chair just to see 1 word, which was "graduated" with an invitation. All I was thinking about at that time was graduating, not where I was received. At that time I thought very narrowly that if I graduated in the Public Administration major where the prospects for work were very broad, then I would be accepted in many companies. But the more time I went to college I began to realize .....Read more

I’m Loveedreams and I’m a freelance illustrator and graphic designer. I have been drawing all my life, creating characters and stories. Drawing is a part of my life and a part of me. I always knew this but… I had no confidence in myself and in my skills to consider working with my art. Although, deep inside of me, I wanted it with all my heart. With time, I started to follow many artists on internet admiring their work and I also started to meet other artists in conventions. Talking to them, seeing how much they work hard on their passion. It star.....Read more

Being an artist is a challenge. I cannot say that's the most relaxing job on the planet, or that's easy. It's definitely not. As for every kind of artisan work, it requires years of studies and exercises. Sometimes, you will just want to throw away everything. Your whole body hurts and you'll just want to cry. Sometimes, you will love what you did. You'll be filled with happiness. Sometimes, your legs will shake and you will think: "Am I really good enough to be called an artist? Or am I wasting my time?" All of these "sometimes".....Read more

I have always dreamed of being an artist one day though I wasn't always sure what that meant. At the time it was me simply drawing silly sketches of dangly figures and out of place anatomy. It was only after I discovered digital art that I truly knew what I wanted to achieve. That dream was to be able to put on paper(or rather a screen) what I had in my head, and to help others realize their creative dreams. Starting was not easy at first. I had started a small slot on Artists&Clients for a simple vector anime character. To me, my artwork was horrendous, to say th.....Read more

I’m really happy when I'm drawing or making an art piece. When I was a child, I was thinking " how do people make this artwork", I want it, but on those days, I don't have the money to buy some stuff, like wacom, PC and etc so I try to draw on paper and it was fun. One day my friend told me "Your drawing is good, why don’t you sell it?", so my first commission is a traditional drawing work for my friend's birthday and I was like "make an art and get an income, that was cool" and then I decided to be an artist an.....Read more

It's always been what has come naturally to me and I always enjoy creating art as a cathartic thing. I like to think I'm always facing challenges. I don't think I'll ever stop improving and studying techniques and things like anatomy/color/composition, etc. But I'm never 100% happy with what I create. So there's always a drive there. My most significant experience as an artist was getting to do 8 pages for Heavy Metal magazine. It was a great hallmark for my art career and I'll always be grateful for it. I found out Artists&Clients.....Read more

I started trying to become an artist when I was little and saw all those cartoons and anime, and started taking drawing more seriously. I think the moment you consider drawing as your main hobby is when you become an artist, it doesn't matter if you're good at it or not, it is about caring about it. Of course, you are probably going to come across people that discourage you about being an artist and to that, I can only say you ignore them, they probably are frustrated with themselves and are jealous about you doing what you love. Believe me when I say being an.....Read more
