The Future of Art

Everyone has at least some sort of idea of what they want to be when they grow up. When you were little, people have asked you "What do you want to be when you grow up?". You say something like, "I wanna be an astronaut!", or, "fireman!". But as you grow older, you start to think more about your future. Your answers slowly start to morph, from fireman, to police officer, to pilot, to Orthodontist. You start to think about how you will make your dream come true.
People have asked me, "What do you want to be when you get older, Anna?". I've had many difficult decisions on that question. I've wanted to be anything from a policeman to starting my own jewelry shop. Now that I'm in high school, I have at least somewhat of a definite answer. I want to be some sort of artist. I know that it is actually pretty hard to make a living as an artist, as artists don't make much money. I've liked drawing ever since I was a little girl. The picture on the bottom is an obvious example of my artistic ability.

I've improved greatly over the years, too. I am trying to expand my art into more than just drawing cute little wolves. I'm working on drawing humans, but they are difficult.
When I get older, I want to work at someplace big like Cartoon Network or Dreamworks to animate. I'm not very advanced in my animation at the moment, I really need to work on it some more. You can visit my YouTube channel here to check out some of my animations so far. After high school, I want to go to a college called Full Sail University. You probably haven't heard of it before.
Anyways, I hope to someday achieve my dream of being an animator or artist of some sort. If I had to give any advice to other artists out there, my only advice is this: practice. They say that practice makes perfect, and it does. I started to REALLY draw around 5th grade or so, and I really sucked. I was sad, because I didn't think I would ever be a good drawer. I gave up for a while, but then started up again in the 7th grade. I still sucked, but for some reason, I kept drawing. I looked at other people's drawings, especially on this website called DeviantART. I studied other drawings hard, I did many tutorials of how to draw digitally(because it was in 7th grade that I got my tablet), and it was frustrating as hell. When I got to 8th grade, I started to notice how my drawing style was beginning to get better. I kept on drawing daily, and now here I am today. I still need a lot of work, but I won't let that stop me.
 Everyone is artistic in some way. Whether it is Katie Caskey's singing, or Bailey Koller Schmidt's dancing, or acting, it is all art. It is all frustrating, and all of it takes practice. But if you push yourself to become what you want to be, you can succeed.

Sooo, that concludes my post :D
