How to become a PRO artist without Art School // Peter Han

They don't allow themselves a time to slow down and really feel it out cuz they're trying to move so quickly because the feeling of what if it's too late? If I'm too late because I'm too old or I'm too late because they're growing faster than me because they're smarter. That's that that illusion you put on yourself that makes you want to rush faster and then all of a sudden you're skipping things. Hey guys, I recently had the chance to sit down with Peter Han. If you're not familiar with him, he's an artist, illustrator, and teacher based out of Southern California. He's known for doing these epic ink illustrations from imagination. In the podcast, we talk about what it means to be an artist and the importance of finding your own voice. Thanks and enjoy the episode. Today this is not talking about like how to become an artist or like uh how to get a job or any of that kind of stuff. It's more about the why of doing it.

Yeah, absolutely. How do we sustain this as as you're saying for the rest of our lives? Yeah. Uh and I think the the initial um mindset for young people that come in is of course they they see the immediate gain possibly or even, you know, the things that are potentially there as validation of let's say even like the celebritization a little bit in a way. You get popular and stuff. Yeah, yeah. You know, that kind of stuff is attractive in any sort of thing that we pursue, but So that's going to be one of the initial sparks that I think that kind of gets pulled in there, but then they realize,
