When first delving into the creative world there are so many unique areas of focus. The term "artist" can be applied to many avenues. Becoming an artist does not require picking any single avenue - rather you need to figure out what excites you the most and what type of work truly piques your curiosity.
I want to cover a few different subsets of artistic work so that new designers can think about the different options. Traditional art is always available but there is a lot to enjoy about digital artwork. The biggest key is to always push your boundaries and try new things. Whether you like it or not, you can always learn something about your skillset and what type of work is most enjoyable.
