Professional PainterI would recommend not trying to lock yourself into a specific style. It's one thing to go on a journey and develop a style, but actually go on that journey. Don't try to come up with a gimmick and then stick with it. Let yourself be taken through a journey so that you're growing. -
QuestionI am rubbish to start with. How can I ever be good at art?
Community AnswerTake lessons and don't think of yourself as rubbish, rather focus on proportion and colour. Also study what you're drawing and take notes. Art is both innate and skilled; you need to focus most on the skill, developing it and improving on it. Dedication is required, while saying you're rubbish is a form of distancing yourself from fear of failure. Give it a go, often. -

Community AnswerTeach yourself. Check out tutorials on YouTube and see if there are any free drawing classes offered in your area. Call community centers, libraries, and local colleges and ask. If you know of any artists living in your area, try to make contact and see if they need an apprentice/intern. If you really want to go to art school, save up money, and/or apply for scholarships, grants, and student loans. -
QuestionCan I make money from art if I am a child?
Community AnswerIt's possible, if you're a very good artist. See if anyone at school would be interested in paying for your drawings (or crafts, or whatever type of art you do). You can also try opening an Etsy store online with the help of a parent, or setting up a booth to sell your art outside of local businesses (getting permission from the business first, and also with the help of a parent).

QuestionHow can I get more inspired by different things when I don’t know what to do for my art?
Community AnswerListen to inspirational or encouraging music while surfing the internet for ideas. If you don’t have this available, just take a scrap piece of paper, start doodling, and something is bound to come up in your head. One of my own tactics is to ask a friend, “Happy or sad art?” or, “Do you want me to sketch old or young people?” I’ll often find myself wanting a certain option, but either way, I always find something to draw.
