Hey guys thanks a ton with the feeback, I do realize I am a good LONG way away from making freelance support me, right now any free time I have with my job is spent drawing but on average I get maybe 1-2 hours a day of drawing then I have the weekends I become a recluse and shut myself in my house and draw. I do think the part time job would be a good compromise, at the level I am at and the level I need to be at to make money is so far apart I want to spend all my time painting and trying to get better opposed to spending it all at this crappy job I average 47-49hours a week at this place because its a job I cant leave until all work is finished, I bust my butt everyday to leave on time or early if I can but I work with too many people who force overtime on me. I bring a sketchbook with me at work and try to sketch in between breaks, with the schedule I have and ways I am trying to be more productive it really just kills me I cant spend as much time on my art as I wish I have been averaging about 4-5hours of sleep each night and it really is taking a toll on my body/mind. I appreciate all the words guys it really does help, I have been thinking about this for awhile but since Dan and Daves stream last night there have been alot of thoughts of I need to push harder and I need to take that leap to spend as much time on my art as possible
