I was really happy when I woke up and saw that new feature in the Instagram, where people can ask questions. Seconds later I realized that I can answer to them with my drawings. I'm a Pin-Up artist and I have a lot of curious followers! Check out my answers, people love them!
P.S. It's just a coincidence, but my Instagram nickname was "Ask Andy" for a lot of years and I didn't like it. But now it works perfectly for me! I plan to answer questions every morning for a several weeks. Please, welcome!

As an artist you have to be able to perceive the world and see it as an artist. Most people think drawing is the hardest part, while yes, that does take skill, seeing everything is actually something you must master first. You must be able to notice shadows and that windows are actually clear (so draw them clear). There is so much to art, that although if you don't go to school to learn it, you still can.
You also have to study and analyse what's cool and the trending patterns within your target audiences, as well as their demands. Then, you will need PR. Some people do it themselves, others hire professionals. Anyway, anyone can learn to make nice pictures, but to actually "make it", you need a business plan. Often, artists don't really have the affinities of businessmen or are bad at economy, statistics and such, including myself. So they need a manager, but how can you hire one without money and how can you find one? Connections. So, if you don't have connections within your desired art industry, you better start studying economics and everything else that will get you out there.
I guess but you also need to have fun we had a talk today about that and how yes sure you have to know that but dont get bogged down in it!

I'm always caught off guard when asked this question. Especially when, like here, it's asked in negative form (don't you bla bla bla). If I say yes, then what am I doing here? If I say no, I seem so heartless. So I just say, "you get used to it".
Sadly some people can't understand you can feel at home in multiple countries and cultures (or none at all). The question "Where are you from?" can also have a complicated answer. Do they mean where I'm born? Or where I grew up? But I grew up in more then one country. Should I tell my live story to an almost complete stranger now? Ugh!
Load More Replies...As I said. You must be able to perceive things as an artist to be able to draw them as they are. For example, when someone draws a cup- they usually make a mistake of not making it clear. Some people are born naturally and can just look at something and perceive it with an artists eyes. That is because they can block the left hemisphere of there brain, which prevents them from drawing.
What a fun Q&A♡ I have basically no art skill, and always appreciate the time, skill and beauty of 'simple' line drawings. (Not as simple as it looks!) It is also great to learn about the artist from their own words and art. Cure!
SOMEONE.... please, traduction for portuguese. Could anyone do that?
