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 artist is amazing and life changing, being able to earn some extra money doing what you enjoy is incredible. Artists & Clients really makes it even easier and safe! I would definitely recommend it, go ahead and become a commission artist and live your dream!!
