Q&A for How to Become a Famous Artist

Ask around and see if any local businesses are in need of illustrated posters, window painting, window design, and/or artwork for their walls—coffee shops in particular frequently showcase the work of local artists.

Becoming a good artist takes time, and the earlier you start, the better. Start practicing and look up books of famous artists. Don't forget to learn art history, as it's the key to understanding the current state of the art world, whether you want to fit in or not.

Of course. Some notable famous artists with epilepsy include Leonardo Da Vinci, Vincent Van Gogh, and Michelangelo. Do a bit of online research to find other artists with epilepsy and the possible difficulties you could face. It's sometimes possible to contact artists directly through the internet or mail or other means, as long as they're alive of course, and you could potentially talk to a well-known artist with epilepsy about their experiences. It's definitely possible for you to be a great artist.

Not necessarily, but it's good to have an education to fall back on (not to mention the artistic skills you will develop if you go to art school). If you end up wanting a career in curating, teaching art, etc. you will definitely need at the very least a Bachelor's degree.

Deviantart or Tumblr are great websites to start, anyone can show their artwork and progress in those sites. After some time, when you consider your art to be powerful enough to be in a professional site, you can try with more serious sites.

Do not try to make art to become famous. Most artists aren't famous until after they die, and famous artists are famous because they have vision and passion, not because they want to be famous.

Draw a ball or some other simple object. Practice the highlights, shadows, shape etc.

Try a life drawing or figure drawing class. These usually contain gesture drawing so you can improve in both areas with one class. You can usually find these courses at your local community college or art school.

Use the GROBVY rule of complementary colors. Use opposite colors on the GROBVY circle to make things stand out, and try to not to make colors next to each other on the GROBVY circle come in contact with each other.

Nope! If you're good enough, you can even sell your artwork when you're a kid, but that's very rare.

Add more color or start over. If you are not sure how to mix the color the way you want, do research about primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Time and experience will help you get it right.

You can sell them on places like Etsy or through social media. There are many options for selling artwork.

Try new things. Think outside the box. Don't just stand there, and enjoy life as it is. In this way, you will find your true passion.

It is not. Many of the great artists did it all without classes. Classes can help, but are not necessary.

Try watching videos to draw the figures or trace pictures till you get the hang of it.

Telling friends and family may help. You can try to put up posters around town, as well.

You can be an artist at any age.

To answer this honestly, you just make art. Practice daily and continue to grow your profile. If you know your skills aren't where they need to be, sign up for some classes.

Yes, but it will be much more difficult.

You can read through wikiHow's article on becoming a school teacher for some advice!

Just start practicing first and sharing your work online. You can decide whether or not if it is for you and if it is, you could go to study art in college while you continue sharing and improving.

Try gluing cotton cloth to cardboard and then priming it. It works wonders for me and costs next to nothing.

Yes, you could become successful with sketch art, with hard work and some luck. To become well-known in other countries, simply market yourself to other countries.

Sure. But what I've found works is to draw in pen, some watercolor, and acrylics. Most of what I draw is on printer paper. Then I take it to Staples or a local print shop and have them copy to card stock, which runs about $1.50 for the prints (make sure they are good quality). Then I frame and matte it with supplies from Hobby Lobby. I get some good money for these.

There is no guarantee that following these steps will make you a famous artist. You have to work extremely hard and be extremely devoted to your craft to be a successful artist. If you're serious about art, go to art school.

Art is imaginable and you can draw whatever you wish.

Flickr, Fandom, Discord,or Pintrest are just some examples of apps you can use.
