recently i read the worst youtube comment ever and i can't stop thinking about it this comment lives in my head completely rent-free it lives in its own private penthouse the comment was concerning my upload schedule and it was if anime studios can make an episode of anime in one week then these youtubers can make a video in a month initially i reacted like you think that's how this works you think anime studios post an episode and go great work team well time to make the next episode this week hope none of you have any plans i know the working conditions in japan are bad but sheesh i guess all the animators are just slacking off between seasons then huh and as i thought about it more i realized i can't get too mad this person is just uneducated about the animation industry and is probably a minor and then i thought hey i know a bit about animation behind the scenes maybe i could talk about being an artist and educate people on the animation pipeline so that way i won't get any more uneducated comments for this video when i say artist i'm going to be talking about the google definition of an artist noun a person who produces paintings or drawings as a profession or hobby you know the pen and paper artists i'm not really going to be talking about artists who make music or birthday cakes or take black and white photos of sunsets because i want to talk about cartoons i make cartoons now it should come to no surprise that i'm a pro artist not a pro artist are you kidding i know my skill level i still can't draw fingers what i'm saying is i will support anyone who wants to make art if you're making art as a hobby then that's a really great creative outlet and having something physical as an end result is incredibly rewarding but if you want to turn making art into a full-time job you might want to sit down and consider a few things like are you sure you don't want to go to law school the biggest challenge all artists face is they have to eat food to survive and in this capitalist society food costs money so artists are challenged to somehow take being good at making shapes and turn that into money i know of four ways an artist can make a living the first way is to be so good at art that people will pay money to hang it up in their house the second option is to make caricature drawings at beaches and tourist traps the third option is to sell your plasma and the fourth option which is the most common option is to make drawings that people will pay you to make and do a little bit of option three on the side some artists will take commissions which is basically an artist going hey i'll draw whatever you want asterix for a hundred dollars and people will go what the f art should be free i was going to give you so much exposure to my NUMBER_TOKEN twitter followers or people will go i want you to draw this cute animal character i made and while at first your price might seem a bit high to the uneducated i understand that art is a time-consuming process and you need to eat too so here's a crisp one-hundo but another somewhat more stable idea is that artists will get jobs at studios or work for a youtuber and we'll be like hey we'll give you
