Painting digitally as a job destroys your eyes.

 No one will tell you that staring at a computer screen for hours per day will destroy your vision, but it will. If you do what i do and you're younger then make sure you eat a lot of carrots and sweet potatoes. It will help in the long run! 

Another thing i learned the hard way is that if you take leutine as a supplement for your vision, it can lower your dopamine levels over time, which causes fatigue, because tyrosine travels to the brain on the same pathway. I had to reverse this by taking tyrosine with velvet bean extract for a few months to get my dopamine levels back to normal.

I also had my tear ducts collapse from extreme dry eye. So i have to take an expensive supplement to keep my eyes from completely drying out. All of this so i can make album covers more affordable to bands, lol. 

I have a serious question though. If bands value traditional paintings so much, why won't you purchase the originals? You want the real thing yet you only wanna pay for a file of it. That doesn't make sense.. And that's one reason why i stopped painting traditionally. I can still paint circles around most people, yet I'm not going to do it for peanuts. There's been an idea floating in my head for a while now to draw album covers with graphite on paper, then scan them and color them in Photoshop. Then split the cost between the original and the digital file to save people money. Yet it wont make sense to do this if the originals never sell. So its a catch 22. If the originals sold though then it would be a great deal for bands. I just don't know if it will work. If any of you like this idea then maybe send me a message? The same could be done with paintings. Just split the cost. Yet if i end up with a mountain of unsold paintings then its never gonna work. Especially since traditional art costs with more time and supplies.................Those who know my past know that i started off as a traditional artist. Bands never wanted to buy the originals. That's why i went digital.
