Yes, people in the 3rd world are willing to cut prices. A lot of them don't live on their own as I do though

Now if Mohrbacher is struggling and he was fired from Kabaam, I'm extremely worried!

and yeah, my husband has been unemployed for 8 years now. It's been all on me, and I'm glad I made this work so far.

I know artists from Brazil, Rio in fact, but still cost of living is cheaper and they undercut freelance prices.

Moving there next year. So buckling up, yeah. I live in another capital; A bit less expensive, but still much higher than living in a small town. (Porto Alegre to be precise, if you want to look it up)

(and hey, Brazil is western world too :p)

Yeah, its more expensive alright, but don't think living in Brazil is that much cheaper. Living in Sao Paulo is the same cost of living than New York, so work from there

No offence but cost of living in the Western World is very expensive, this is why I'm sceptical about the future of art production in Richer countries.

22 Dec 14:30

22 Dec 14:29

Absolutely, Tonari <3 - I'm telling y'all when you feel stuck/don't know how to draw etc. Go back to your fundamentals, predominantly perspective and really go over the basic stuff that we /all/ skip over because we think its 'too easy' when we start out lmao
