It’s easy to romanticize the life of an artist, but the truth is that it’s a very difficult profession to succeed in. The money isn’t always steady, your work is often undervalued, and you’ll have to put up with idiots frequently telling you to “get a real job.” It’s therefore important to encourage and support young artists as much as possible, because if you don’t then it’s very easy for them to lose hope and give up. Check out this comic to see what we mean. It was created by Zen Pencils, who used an inspiring quote by indie film director Kevin Smith to show us just how rewarding encouragement can be.

I can vouch for this. Not saying "well done" to a child when they try something they like discourages them from trying harder next time, especially when you tell them negative things. [Speaking from personal experience].
Looking at the last picture, maybe she turned out to be a professional basketball player? ^^ Anyway, that's a great message
I love how you made that sad ending so positive and happy for me ...I can smile now ! Thanks !

The discouraged artist will more or less adopt a mind-set that accommodates settling for less, and then they'll become very good at that for a significant part of their less than remarkable career.
something tells me they are asian... I am asian and this describes my dad.
Ever think the artist may beAsian. And you're stereotyping.

Hans, it's just a simplified version of "it's good to encourage children". Stop trying to let everyone know you "have a PhD in Psychology", or whatever...
