Artists with all their talent live from hand to mouth !

Haha, that is a misconception and stereotype. I agree with you that that a good number of artists live from hand to mouth but trust me when I tell you a good number too are making a hell of a money from it. It goes beyond making portraits and commissioned works for people. Most times that what people here in Nigeria think that is how all artist's make there money. I can agree back in the olden days there was less tech development hence that mentality. Thank God for technology as this has made artist sell their skill easily through:
- Selling their personal works through art collectors round the world where art is valuable
- Selling art courses as a tutor on great sites like udemy and others
-Selling their art prints to people around the world

Artists are suffering, we should gather round and donate for charity on their behalf. They are starving !!!

Ma, there is no profession or handi work that doesn't have money. It all depends onthe amount of exposure to useful and vital knowledge and information on the finacial and money making aspect of that profession. Sadly this isn't always emphasized in art school. Most times they are always concerned with building their skills and creativity and leave them to sort themselves on how to make money. How do I know this? I never went to an art school (I am a self-taught artist) and with what I have observed, all of those other ways of making money as an artist that I listed earlier are done mostly by self taught artists because of the exposure and freedom, as u get to learn exactly what u want to and no academic curriculum is shoved up ur ass.
Trust me, those artist u know that u think and maybe are poor would most likely contain a greater percentage of those who finished from an institution, or those who aren't taking art as their means of livelihoodThe problem is ignorance and neglect on their part on how to make money off their skills.
I was once like that but now it is a different story

Completed piece. Bic ball point on Lambeth cartridge paper 170GSM
Second work in my ongoing series #hairseries
Title : Morgan freeman
Size: 23.5cm*29.5cm
Duration: 60hrs approx

My bad habit of leaving an almost finished work incomplete played out here.
Lately thoughts of why I stick to small works for my hyper realism ran across my mind, I discovered I really am not patient enough to work on large works yet. This work had elements of bitterness and sweetness while working on it, learnt much about patience and I know I am a step closer in conquering my imperfection.

Dope

Impressive...buh there seem to be an off section around the bridge of his nose..

there's no way you could have made that using a pen.

doubt your assertion bruh!!

You used just one pen for this?

Lol, you aren’t the first to say my works are done digitally. I have crazier artists who does something better than mine. Checkout Oscar ukonu on IG or better still search oscarazzi on nairaland, that should help ur doubts
