Uncertain future

Posted by EdwardandZalshow - July 1st, 2023


Next year it's gonna be my 3rd and last year at uni, i can either do 2 additional year later or find a job involving biology; i'm honestly scared about my art and if i'll be able to continue it


I've worked for a huge comic story in these 6 years, made some little comics that were "published" (they were a final project of a comic course).

Last year i had the opportunity to start working on my serie and probably getting the first comic of it published


Due to uni the project of the first comic got really stretched into this year; i'll probably be able to do few final pages instead of the scheduled 25 i have only for the first half ( i had to split it in 2); but i objectively can't keep doing this


I have few choices here: either finish uni and struggle as an artist, quit making art and keep going with biology stuff, or trying to do both things even if i don't know if the time i'll have will allow me to.


For now i'll keep it up, i'm not sure in the future.

I just finished my third year in my biology undergrad, and now that I have free time I'm really enjoying drawing again, when before I didn't as much when I had deadlines looming over me. What I'm saying is, don't worry so much about art. It's not going anywhere. Draw if you enjoy it and have time, but don't feel pressured to juggle so many things- at the end of the day, art is not that important. If you really want to, I dialed back on digital drawings, but I found that doing quick sketches and doodles on paper was a good supplementory practice.

At the end of the day though, this is the kind of problem you have to answer yourself.
