Becoming an Artist

I have decided to start an illustration portfolio. I have discovered a style of art that I love and I think it's pretty marketable. My mother, who is an artist, convinced me to start marketing my art for advertising and illustration purposes. If I can make this work, it would be a perfect day job to make money while I'm acting. Here are my newest pieces. I need to start doing more pieces like this. As much as I love doing the pictures of my friends as Disney characters, that's not really the kind of art I want to be doing for the rest of my life. Those and the pictures of my Dungeons and Dragons campaigns are fun distractions, but it's not the deeper art that I want to do. So, onto better things! Wish me luck!
