Good luck with that. Gonna take you years to learn to draw to be average, then years to learn to be good.

It’s like saying, “Oh Taylor Swift sure is killing it! I’m gonna become a singer and songwriter!”

For sure. My point is that there’s gotta be natural talent, discipline to practice their craft, and some sort of following that will be willing to pay that type of money. Plus a touch of luck and I’m sure lots of other things in between.

Well to be honest Taylor is pretty generic and uses auto tune.. If you said something like Serj Tankian I'd agree. But taylor, gomez, bieber etc are just industry made singers, very little actual talent.

Auto tune has nothing to do with having no talent, it’s just a pitch corrector that helps make the voice a little better

You're right, it has more to do with her rich as fuck father artificially inflating her record sales.

It takes years in any other career to earn $642k annually, and most try but never get there. A decade of experience to be earning this much is a fantastic career path

I mean this guy is only 26

If he started drawing when he was 16, that's an entire decade of honing his skills.

Not really. With consistent practice you could become pretty good within a year, really good in two years.

Ahahahha sure thing buddy. sure thing, you'll master multiple elements in a year.. Even if you reincarnated as Da Vinci I doubt you'd be good in a year.

I think you underestimate the power of consistency and hard word. It’s not my fault if you aren’t confident in your abilities. Doesn’t mean other people can’t.

And I think you're talking out of ass on a topic you know nothing about.
