Over time, I built my experience in digital art and animation—specifically by producing independent animation and flash games for sponsorship. My big break came when I decided to focus my efforts into my YouTube channel and it took off. This has opened up all sorts of artistic opportunities for me. Becoming a professional artist is the same as becoming a professional in any field—it takes time, practice, patience, and A LOT of hard work.
