My story is different from most people have said so far. I only want to make characters, and I knew immediately. It’s interesting for me to hear about how much some people have pondered about this, because it was all I have ever really been interested in since I started drawing in 2D!
So perhaps my advice will not be as helpful, but I’ll still try. Think about what you enjoyed doing as a child. What were your favorite things to make? What have you loved for your whole life?
The answer may be simpler than you think. As soon as you find your passion, you may just think, ok, this is it. And it may just click.
Think about how you can expand on what you are doing now with the jewelry. Scroll through tutorials on here and pick the first one that looks cool.
I suggest being impulsive and just picking things on a whim. Doing the first thing that comes to mind. I think that art is one of the few areas where it can actually be good to just dive in without thinking.
Be wild. Try new things. But don’t forget to remember what you always have liked, and just follow that. And when you start doing something and you don’t want to stop doing it, you’ll know that is a good route.
So in summary I guess don’t overthink it, just start diving in!
Maybe it’s not like that for everyone. But that’s my experience at least!
