I am a digital artist. Im 15 years old. What now?
Question by Lauren: I am a digital artist. Im 15 years old. What now?
I’ve gotten my tablet and have been drawing via computer since probably the age of 13.
I know how to animate, on animation shop and flash.
I know how to do graphics (photoshop)
I know how to code css/html partially (currently in the gifted programs in school that let me go to the gifted room during study halls to learn more css and html)
And I also have a bamboo fun tablet where I draw on oekaki’s and open canvas.
I can also do things like make movie on windows movie makers, and other tricks on photoshop.
I usually upload my art on deviantart.
I’m in 9th grade, and this is my first year taking art class. (yikes)
I taught myself all these things, never really had a class in these things.
ANYWAY
I want so badly to go to an art school or college too teach me more.
I feel so behind just teaching myself through anatomy books and crap and feel like there has to be some place I can go to learn more.
Are there any colleges that give art class near west PA?
Or some way I can do more then just sketch more.
I’ve been wanting so badly to maybe make t-shirts and sell them or something to earn some money but I dont even know how to do that.
So
any ideas on some things/hobbies I can do with my hobbies :c?

wow, you’ve gotten much farther than i ever had, haha.
well, it can’t hurt to keep practicing; try new techniques.
use charcoal, paint, ink, mud, whatever. then try to recreate the texture in photoshop.
and if you need more of a challenge, i dunno, use only the pencil tool, haha.
with your knowledge in html, i’d suggest starting a website.
attract viewers with your graphics, provide services,
and use google adsense to make CASH off of the people who visit your site.
since you’ve got all the right skills, put them to the test.
try to make some money. (; save up for college, and go to one of the best art schools in the world, if you want.
you can always tutor kids, too.
you can make t-shirts by getting the supplies at an arts & crafts store, like micheal’s. by the shirts that that iron-on paper that you can print your graphics on and transfer them onto the shirts. or paint.
trust me, there’s plenty more you can do.
oh, ps, i’d like to see your art ! do you mind posting your devart account ?
if it’s not too much to ask, haha. you’ve just caught my interest. (:
