I started painted and drawing and it has helped me so much it helps distract me from my cravings and mentally. I’m thinking of starting a little business but idk how to start it. I have have been already paid but my friends to make them my paintings and frames I’m not done yet with the last painting. But I’m proud of myself ![image](https://talkingsoberfiles.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/a/0/a09540b1e6bdac8be744dd858dcfd134446816d9.jpeg) ![image](https://talkingsoberfiles.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/7/e/7ec6d3275ad3ad37ff581234f581fc952ebd225e.jpeg) `Preformatted text` ---

Awesome! I dig it. Hobbies are a great endeavor, the feeling of accomplishment, the pride in workmanship, the release of mental drain because your thinking of productive things. Keep splashing that paint! ---

Awesome!!! If it keeps you together that should be your main focus, do it for pleasure, its something I learned. I have a love for cars and music both turned into I want to make money, the desire faded with ease when it became a means to earn a living. Also painting copyrighted items for profit like your characters can cause issues, trust me I been flagged a few times Enjoy your art. Enjoy it as a passion, then consider the business route.
