Hello everyone. I'm new here.
I'm currently studying architecture but in the same time I'm teaching myself digital art.
Architecture is an honored and well paying profession here were I live but I have a huge passion about art and I don't want to be stuck in a boring desk job.
I always thought it would be easier for me to survive this industry as a freelancer due to the low cost of living in my country(Albania).
A monthly income of 400$ would be enough for me to motivate me working full time but as I learned more about the industry it seems that it may not be easy even if you're willing to sell yourself cheap.
I do not believe in artist selling their self cheap and I absolutely do not encourage it, however living in a poor I think this salary is acceptable for me.
So what do you think.
How much of an advantage is your price?
(without sacrificing quality)
For 400$ a month should I take it slow and focus mainly on university of should I focus on my art mainly and less about uni?
