The 4 Things You Need To
Become a Successful Artist
(or a successful anything for
that matter)
Time
-this is a journey that
takes many years, and the only way to get to the starting line is to put in the
hours
Resources
-materials (paper,
sketchbooks, drawing/ painting mediums, proper computer software, etc.)
-study materials (books, internet, lectures, mentors)
Connection
-No matter how you do it, you need to find a way to reach out and connect to those around you who can motivate and inspire you to reach your goals, and who you can learn and better yourself from.
Passion
-This
is the most important thing you need, and quite possibly the only requirement
to begin. If you have the passion, you
will make the time and find the resources to get where you need to go. If you’ve lost your passion, you could have
all the time and resources in the world given to you on a silver platter and
you will still fail, for you will frivolously waste away your time and ignore
your resources, which will have become worthless. That’s why it’s better to begin as an
underdog than to be born a prince, and why it’s better to be hungry and search
for food than to always be full, for the first will eventually bring you satisfaction,
while the latter only disgust.
