5 Well-paid careers for people who like to draw
The story of “starving artists” seems to be no longer a popular trope in modern society. While many traditional jobs become obsolete and human labour gets replaced by machines, creativity and the mastery of drawing are among the most-wanted competences for leading tech-companies, start-ups, and organizations.
Charcoal Painting
Story and artwork from Francis Ian Anino
Francis Ian Anino is a true-blooded Filipino immigrated to Alaska and found his true love – ART! His Filipino heritage brings out a different taste of art – soulful and value-driven! His arts reflect different values such as honesty, peace, calmness, and gratitude which make his arts more soul gratifying. Each stroke depicts the message/story behind the artpiece as vividly displayed in the eyes and in the facial expressions exuding emotions and attitudes. The different values of the shades just perfectly blend which is a manifestation of the inner personality of Ian who, despite the difficult transition from his culture way different than here, also blends nicely and beautifully in his new environment gracefully embracing changes and difficulties.
