Beginning with Digital Art
Get inspired by what various artists do by watching their techniques and delving into their digital art process on YouTube, but do not, I repeat, do not try to automatically put your level of expertise to theirs. This was a valuable lesson I had to learn when first getting into digital art. I placed my pedestal too high and expected too much from myself. While I’ve worked with watercolors, oil paints, different pastels and pencils, naturally, I assumed that digital painting was the next step to easy. I already knew so many things.

Life On Benefits
Now I can't speak for people in the USA but in the UK I can definitely agree that the benefit system is a hard one to deal with. If you're disabled or have children this will be different for you, but for the unemployed single person the benefits you are entitled to are slim, and it's not that much better if you are in a relationship.
