Last year was the year I decided to escape the medical field and come to the world of art and hopefully become a successful comic artist. This topic semi-applies to me because I still live with my parents. Food and housing are taken care of, but I cannot buy whatever I want. But IF I could, I would buy a new desk, chair, and bed/pillow. The way my desk and chair are made gives me easy shoulder pain, if I adjust in another way, I'll get back pain, if I do something else, I'll get wrist pain. My chair and old bed only add to my problems. I've been spending the past year focusing on learning how to draw, learning the perspectives, and of course these art programs. I still got a ways to go to reach my goal. I still need to learn a bit more in choosing the correct colors and how to shade.
I would also try to promote myself as much as possible (once I feel more confident, anyway). I would indeed continue the comic I'm doing since I started this only a couple of months ago xD. Of course, I would also come on here to motivate myself :).
