@anooshadraws: I’ve talked about this a lot in the past, but my life long dream was to work in the animation industry as a character designer. I applied for years and was rejected constantly, but eventually realized my true calling… picture books!! Now I’m happier than ever having illustrated over 40 books, and I still get to do some animation work now and again through freelance! Just a reminder that life can lead you to amazing opportunities if you keep yourself open to them and not single minded on one goal. I talk about my journey extensively in a YT video called ‘Why I Quit my Dreams of Working in Animation’ if you wanted to check it out! #artmotivation #freelanceartist #artadvice #professionalartist #childrensillustration #animation #creativecareer #artistlife

Lots of the guest speakers/teachers at my school in my art program always said you never really know where you'll end up working. It's pretty true :p
