introductory art classes that I disliked immensely. The three hours I spent drawing a piece of fruit and molding unique sculptures out of clay made me realize that this was not a career that I wanted to be spend the rest of my life in. Not to mention, it is hard to land a job fresh out of college because the demand for art is so low and, of those who are interested in purchasing art, their standards are so high that it is almost impossible to meet.

The report mentioned that INFJ’s have “exceptional work ethic,” and I could not agree with a statement more. I have the mentality…

Although there are many styles and techniques in the world, illustrators all create drawings that captivate their audience. Illustrations are a way to connect with the audience whether it is through paintings,…
