In animation, that means honing skills in animation (obviously), painting, sketching, colour, composition, editing, staging,blocking...and it goes on. But what is NOT a formal part of ANY art program is the struggle you (and everyone who is faced with making art for money) confronts. It's a personal struggle, to be sure. It's a very unsettling (to say the least) feeling to realize that the thing you loved (art) might actually become something you hackk out to make a buck. Isn't that a horrible thing to do to something you supposedly love? Spooky. All to put food on your table.<br /><br />In my experience, you DO strike a balance. In time (years?) you can find a way to make stuff for $, and also make stuff for your soul. It's not easy to find that balance, but ask around enough and it exists.ChrisWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314408147915839907noreply@blogger.com
