RE: What It Takes To Be An Artist
You are completely right. I think some portion of the people just have some kind of a expectation. It usually does not go further than just knowing the person for what it does.
To understand more would mean to know the persons character, but for the average passer by it is too much, so a lot of opinions are being thrown out at creative personalities which mostly are not true, unfair and now logical. It is like a war, where artists have to have this shield with them, to be ready at any moment to block some misunderstanding, wrong expectations, critic and things like that. -Some like you mentioned in the end. About wasting time or having time at any moment. You said exactly right. That time spent on social media usually is the part of the work, the part of the schedule.
Indeed a cut to the case post, awesome!
@edgarsart Yes, that's what I am saying. Not me, but I know many, especially young deep in the heart really talented artists who because of that stop a lot of things, and mostly - art. Pressure from others can be really big. Not everyone's character is so strong that they do anyway how they want to. I just want to be example to those and other people. To show that it is ok to do what you love, and that it is not just one thing or/and in one style.
