This user hoards art supplies but never makes art with it.

Me, who draws for a living: *dramatic sigh* “I wish I could draw.”

author: Great news, sucker! I’m writing a part 2!

When tablet is good but TEXTURE = LIFE!

fun story tho regarding that last post: I’ve actually been criticized by several of my professors on multiple occasions for drawing my women too ‘thick’ and ‘muscular’ 👀  👀  👀

How dope it would be to own a Cintiq instead of a regular graphics tablett. It must be so much more natural to draw with this, when you can actually look at your pen and your drawing at the same time.

Learning to draw in order to illustrate my novel means I have a weird number of celebrity reference pics on my desktop.

My family thinks I am loosing my mind. ROFL

Just another dreadful day....

I have a lot of problems in my shoulders, and someone claiming being chief of an enterprise offers me a job in illustration, but keeps me waiting for two months (january and december) to make me a job interview via zoom, that was supposed to be today, but at the end didn't happened!  

Months I could have used to improve my portfolio or to research for another job. I’ve stopped searching for jobs when I received this one cos I thought it was a serious offer. It looked like that at first.

I woke up at I’ve spent all night yesterday making the computer settings in place and that they worked well. And the next day I woke up early cos I spent like two hours choosing what clothes I’d wear for the zoom meeting and combing my hair, and taking care of my face and plucking my eyebrows so I didn’t look like  a homeless.

And they I waited all day, to at the end just receive a no for an answer, and late, and they didn’t even apologize for wasting this much of my time! Just said “today we got busy!” like if nothing happened, exactly these words, and nothing else.

All I would haved like, all I asked and all I expected, was a bit of respect. 

Respect to my time and effort, and my professionalism (cos I didn't do more job searching after I was contacted by them, and I gave them my portfolio and CV and all what they asked from me ) and a bit of emphathy about the precarious situation I'm in in these moments. I think, the fact that people can be this heartless and with no empathy, it's what pisses me off the most.

And now my mon it’s mad at me, cos she told me in december that this offer sounded like if was probably a scam. And I didn’t listen to her. 

Have I been taken by a fool? What should I do now?

Meanwhile... 

And meanwhile, another enterprise I’ve contacted months ago, did replied and they were very nice and cooperative. But the job in question was adult in nature, so at the end I had to decline, cos I wouldn’t like to be linked with the sex industry.

That one was funny by the way, because I have never gave the impression of being that kind of artist. So I dunno what the heck made them think I’d do that XD
