My head keeps racing with ideas and I have been gifted with an ability to draw. What jobs should I look into.

What jobs are available to a person with superior drawing skills?
Drafting, absolutely--and most high schools and community colleges offer programs.
Reply:Depends what you like to draw. What are your passions? You have a lot of options:





You could go into the fine arts and create artwork for people to buy...put yourself in shows and such.





Or you could go the commercial route and find your niche in illustration, and even go into the study of graphic design.





If your into the technical side of things, and like architecture, you could go into architectural drawing.





if your great at painting and drawing and portrait work, look to the fine arts...you can teach, you can create and sell your work, you can be a sketch artist, or a court artist.

Reply:Drawing skills indicate visualization and creative ability, so illustrators, graphic artists, architects can all use these talents.


Hand drawing skills are used for quick conceptual sketches, but computer graphic programs are used more than hand drawing today.
Reply:I have no Idea about your age, I'll assume you are younger than 20 though,.....let me humourously suggest that you find a normal every day job like normal people,....I say normal cuz you aren't normal,...."you are gifted"......that makes you "your own worst enemy" if you look at me as an example,.....Yes, I too am "gifted" I've been doing this for 33 years professionally and I'd say that this business is the second hardest business in the world with the exception to being a "poet laureate" at some univesity and getting paid for it. There have been times in my life that i was broke for long periods of time and simply suffered through it for no rerason at all when I could have just as easily gone out and gotten a second job and done my artwork when I was at home,.....it was a sort of "passion I couldnt control" and it still is. I am now living in another state frrom where I started out, I've been here for 3 years now goin on 4 and I'm 48 and am disabled, have diabetes ands my eyesight is goin away slowly. I still have several jobs to do for clinets back home in Texas,....this is almost 4 years gone by now and the sutuation is just barable enougn to squeak by,........Does this seem like a good situation for you?.......You might say to yourself "well I can manage my life better than he did"....and you might be right,..... but let me also say,......."From my artwork I have been stinking rich, bought homes and land, had two galleries and a few wives as well, two great kids that I love dearly who are now grown and gone",...when I look back on all, the fun I had back in the 70s and 80s?....I have to say "it was worth it" then, but i have to tell you this,.......I'd rather have a normal everyday job like all the people I was different from because I was "gifted"..............."you can look a gift horse in the mouth without ever having to ride it,......or you can ride that horse without ever having to look him in the mouth"........one hting isnt the same at the oither even though they are the same creature. Now, you have to ask yourself this, "where did this gift come from? and why do I have this gift?" it 's really the same question but the answers are different each time you think about it......please be responsible. Save some money, stay away from drugs and easy relationships and never ever trust an agent or gallery owner. and always think about your gift and where it came from...oh yeah, learn how to paint signs, that always got me through hard times, oh, and another thing,..and this is very important,...that term you used "superior drawing skills?.....Humble yourself my man,....".there's always someone better" and people admire a quiet, humble artist because they can make up their own stories about them, you dont have to say a word., the thing about artists are the stories they leave behind, not how gifted they are and it aint about how many paintings you can sell but rather "who" buys your artwork and "if they talk about you as though they know you",....you dont even know you!, in fact you think on the scale of "why" as opposed to "on a scale of because"...........amazing if you think about it enough, I'm the exact same way.


sincerely,
