To be a professional artist in this day and age you really need to cross many disciplines and boundaries. therefor I believe that to survive as an artist you need to access a range of disciplines to create a piece of work that is interesting and in touch with the viewer of today.
Drawing and editing
In my second year of University I came across the problem, when I produced a set of illustrations that complimented poems from strong women who release their emotional side when they wrote about their partners, such as Silvia Plath writing about Ted. During a group crit when my work was displayed in frames with the phrase under each work, it was suggested that the work should be scanned into the computer and edited in Photoshop to make it more modern and in touch with the viewer. the colours would be changed and the size adjusted.
