Going Pro as an Artist: Full-time or Part-time?
The featured article is a followup to the last month’s featured article. Carrie compares the options of going pro full-time and part-time in three major categories. Are you planning to become a professional artist? Then you want to know if you should start on a part-time basis, or jump in with both feet and go pro full-time. That’s what this article helps you decide.
Starting from Scratch
Jennifer Lane joins CP Magic! this month with an article for beginning artists. Starting From Scratch is her response to a reader question and she helps that reader––and all new artists––learn how to get started drawing. The subject is Jennifer’s favorite subject (a flower,) but the method she describes is useful for other subjects as well.
