Hi proko community,
I need some advice's from you. I’m stuck with my thoughts.
A little background and a small outlook in the future:
I have an art degree in College of Further Education (Germany). Today I’m an engineer and working full time. My goal is, to become a freelance artist. So, now I working, save money and learn for my own „art education“. My goal is, to quite my job in 2 years and save some money, so I can life as a „full time artist“ for the next 3 years without any income. In all there are 5 years from now on.
Since the corona pandemic a drew a lot and before there I get slowly back into drawing.
I have 7 to 15hours per week. To draw
Now here is the point where I’m stuck.
I want to build a great foundation of all the fundamentals. But I’m get easy overwhelmed from a these topics. I’m builded a list with the part I have to learn. These are
draw/ composition/ design/ tones/ light and shadow/ perspective/ colors/ textures and materials/ anatomy/ Photoshop
I’m „good“ at drawing, Photoshop and perspective. In tones, light and shadow I’m „okey“. All the other topics I have many deficits.
These all are huge topics. One day I think, this topic is important and another day it could be the next one.
I love to draw portraits and I want to tell stories through my artworks. So my goal as an artist is to evoke emotion and tell a story.
Could it be useful, to get really good in portraiture in the next 2 years to find easy client work or should I go through all the huge topics to have more opportunities?
Thanks for your time.
Thomas
