>Be me >Be artistic >Brother is better artist,universes apart >Always complement him for his art,they complement me too,but not for my art,for doing menial jobs well like cleaning and cooking >Dad wants me to go to a technical school >Fuck it,i want them to be proud of me too >Five years later, nothing has changed except that I'm 2 years away from a technical degree >Still not proud of me >Brother got way better,I was left behind >tfw I have been wasting my time studying incredibly hard to get a degree I don't want for the last 5 years in a school with almost no women to try to make my parents proud and failed miserably >Tfw I wasted my teenage years and it's no one's fault but my own
When I'm done with this school I'm going to try to get a BECA and study abroad,I don't want to live with my family anymore,I don't even want to talk to them
If I fail to get one I will unironicly kill myself,no one should live like this
Just a tip from someone who had several artists in his family, finish your degree first, seriously, it's only two years, then you go make whatever you wish of your life
The reason? Artist life is a pain in the ass, you have all the talent in the world and no money, unless you do something in the big media, you gonna starve, use this technical degree as a plan B to when things get serious, even more now that we both are in a pretty shitty economic situation, is better to have some security
Austin Russell
What's a technical school and a technical degree. What are you studying exactly?
Blake Howard
Trade school probably
Jonathan Mitchell
There is no such thing as staying 5 or 7 years in a trade school
Jeremiah Turner
It's a electrician degree that doubles as a mechanic degree(not a car mecanic,just someone who is certified to use tools in a workshop welders,mecanical saws,AutoCAD,etc)
John Diaz
I'm way ahead of you user. I want to leave my state just so I can be left alone.
>being proud that your son is a fucking ARTIST the quintessential Argentinian snobbery >wanting to make your parents proud instead of rebelling against them like every teenager >not doing what you fucking want as an adult the quintessential autist
Tyler Long
Not exactly. What we call a "colegio técnico" is a variation of high school focused on mechanics, electricity, engineering, etc. They last for longer than regular high schools, 7 years in comparison to the usual 5/6.
And to clarify,this is my best art and some art he didn't even really work hard on
Isaac Hernandez
You're right,I wish I had known that sooner
Jace Carter
I'm sorry, but you do really need to rethink about being an artist. Do you really like it or do you feel it's more just like a hobby to you?
Austin Morris
well i think you guys both are hobbyist tier, i mean i don't want to sound like a douche but maybe it is for your own good to know what other people honestly think. you need to work on your education!
Nolan James
I really do like it,what I really want to do is be a comic artist or a illustrator for kids books
Joseph Thomas
I see. Is there anything you look up to draw one day? What kind of styles are you into? You got me interested now.
Kayden Campbell
I was like you user, but now I'm dropping college to join the air Force, and once I'm in I'll steal a fighting jet and start ww3 by attacking las Maldivas or Brazil and Uruguay. I still can't decide which tho

Bentley Howard
I have a friend that liked drawing and eventually got himself a tablet and occasionally does commissions for foreigners, getting paid in dollars. He's also doing that while going to a tertiary education and working as an IT guy for a call center. There's basically nothing stopping you from starting an online comic series. If you're as dedicated and passionate as you think, you can succeed.
Charles Wright
well your art is fucking atrocious. You can try becoming argentinian Hitler instead I guess
Christopher Peterson
isn't malvinas the spanish word and maldivas was what the british called them?
William Evans
Malvinas is our word can you literally, like, not say it???? Check you privilege
Julian Howard
If an online comic like questionablecontent can make thousands a month on patreon you know the bar isn't set high
Ian Gray
Yeah make an online comic but catter to some weird obscure fetishes so you can get easy money. Something like baby scat gore with some cannibalism here and there
Cooper Campbell
Yeah.. that friend of mine was ranting about that a few days ago >"My mom spent 5 years getting a degree on biochemistry and went on to make 20k a year while some guys are making three times that over patreon drawing furry shit once a week" capitalism and the internet are great
Luke Turner
Look argiebro, your technical degree will get you paid. I don't know how your job market is or how well it pays, but typically people that have those technical degrees tend to find jobs a bit easier due to broad experience you have. You can do art as a hobby and use your technical degree to earn a living. Art won't really get you paid, just judging by your art. The beauty of it is that if you get better and your art takes off, you can just do that full time. Be smart about your future. You should of became an engineer though. You get to design more and get paid more as well, but it is what it is.

>intoduce chink, black, and tranny with disfigured brother all at once I mean to be fair the guy knew exactly what demographic to pander to in order to make maximum profit with little effort
