Working as an artist is not easy as it seems
After reading the previous volume, and the second volume understanding what it is like working as an artist than painting, and drawing for a living are two different realities. If the artist wants to make art for a living that’s cool, and alright, but cannot make money that will be a problem.
Understanding how marketing and starting a business works takes lot of work, self discipline, willingness, and motivation to work as an artist. It’s not how about how good you’re skills are, and painting, and drawings for it’s more about what the client and customer wants when commissioning an art request with the requirements, cost of supplies, and etc it’s hard work not easy work. Also, this is the real reason why the other main character Leo had to help, and teach Arte how business works as an artist.
The more experience she gets by doing commissions the more she’ll get the most by doing art requests. Also, take care of yourself when it comes to starting a business taking care of your health should come first before doing any productive work, and start a business unless you want to be unstable while working and call in yourself absent for not taking care of yourself which is a risk.
I like this volume because this shows the reality of what’s the reality of working as an artist than just making art for a living. You can make art however you want, but treating as business is most important and doing what the commissioner wants. Because the artist leaves out the most important part the commissioner only asks them to draw and paint what the client wants. Since the artist are so focused on making it look flawless, detailed, and get lost until they miss the point of doing the commission for the customer not the artist.
Overall, this volume is good as this volume gets more deeper into how working as an artist works, the harsh realities, discrimination women and girls faces, and being treated like they’re just women, and girls. Because it’s who they are and this is why this manga is Seinen mature themes, and harsh realities.
