I want to be an artist when I grow up....help? ?

[Heather C]

You're just like me. I'm so happy to hear someone having such a strong, definite passion with their art. I think that as long as you have ambition and talent, that's all you need! What to do is decide (Or partially decide!) what sort of sector you want to be a part of. Do you want to be a designer? An illustrator? A teacher? Or just an artist who sells artwork? All of the above can be made possible by going to college or university. I did a year of college last year in visual communications which gave me experience in graphic design. I was recently at university doing computer games design but I've now decided to leave and become a tattooist since I prefer practical, fine art. It all comes down to what you wanna do and it's always possible!
