Hello Im JC Mark, i am a 16 years old artist from ph. I started drawing seriously at the start of quarantine. Im currently bingewatching almost all proko videos especially the anatomy stuff. Im still pretty much learning So im not expecting a review, but itd be great if I received one since im not in any social media sites except artstation
My question is: what to do when your parents disagree with you being an artist? My parents are asian, and are heavily strict on school grades, what can I do to make them trust and think that art is an option
Sorry for my bad english and THANK YOU PROKO! YOU are the best!
Hello JC. I have to say this is some nice work! I love how you chose to illustrate some scenes from dramatic angles. I wish I was as ambitious when I was your age. I believe a book of interest you should check out is Joseph D’Amelio’s Perspective Drawing Handbook. It’s not super wordy and I think the knowledge it offers will help take your work to an even higher level. It does get more complex as you progress through it so bear that in mind. Also, adding some solid areas of black or shading in your environmental drawings can help things pop. Regarding your parents, I think sleepydumpling gave some sound advice. Perhaps you can see if you reach out to artists or even instructors who’ve had a similar experience. I hope this is of some help to you and wish you success on your artistic journey!
Hey JC, so I'm not one of the pro artists but I just wanted to say that I think your stuff is pretty cool. Also I checked your art station and I would change aspiring artist to artist because you are one! In regards to asian parents, my two cents would be to keep working on art anyways. Showing them successful artists may or may not convince them but I would also suggest trying to get a part time job on the side to show them you are willing to work. Keep doing art and when you get the art jobs you want you can show them that it really is a career path. Anyways I wish you all the best and fully support your art journey!
