How do you become an animator and illustrator at the same time?

So, I read a Q&A from a professional Background (BG) Artist a few days ago. The BG said "a illustration skills don’t always translate to animation." So, it made me wonder more about the differences between the two fields. They're both art-based careers, yet there's some differences I don't know yet. (I mean...besides the fact that animation is about making still images come to life vs illustration just being still art). I know many animators are illustrators, but I don't know how they manage to do both. I may want to do both, too, in the future. Are there any differences in preparing to study for either career? What are some differences between learning illustration vs animation?

Could you have more than one job in different fields?

This may be a silly question, but I wonder if you could take more than one job in different fields, such as being a translator and an artist. These examples are careers I'm interested in, though I do not know if they would overlap or make things difficult in my schedule.

i have a question for writers who have published work - what were some challenges that you faced during the process of becoming a writer and publishing your own work and what advice would you give to someone who wishes to become a writer? also have another question for artistic people who make art expressing their work through sculptures or paintings or drawings - what made you want to take this career path and how hard has it been? and do you feel like people don't appreciate art enough in our communities and also what advice do you have for someone who wants to become an artist?

i am really passionate about writing and all forms of art. i struggle a little bit because i feel like i want to do so many things but feeling like i won't be able to do all of those things if i just stick to one career path , so i just want some advice to better help me who's a junior in high school and looking into different careers.

Career Choice Advice

I'm almost 28 right now. About 4 years ago, I used to work as sales advisor for a famous fashion brand, but for personal reasons I had to quit the job. My actual personal situation doesn't allow me to stay away for long period from home. So, especially during the pandemic, I started thinking working from home because I don't like my life and I want to change my actual situation both financially and personally. I'm dwelling between being an artist and being a copywriter. I've always loved art and even if I belive I'm not good at it. I would like to give it a try but I know it will take a lot of time before seeing results and be able to earn money. That's the why I've always give up art because my financial situation is not so good right now and I need to have a stable income. On the other hand, during the pandemic I discovered copywriting while browsing YouTube videos. I'm also interested in writing and marketing, but I'm not sure if this career is fit for me. If there is somebody who have experience in this field, I would like to know how it is working as a copywriter. I'm thinking to learn copywriting and then start freelancing and doing art as a side hustle. But do you think is possible or it's better I focus on just one? Thanks in advance for your help. I have no one to talk about my problems and I really appreciate all of your advice. I just wanted to let you know English is not my native language, so sorry for any typos. Thanks again! I'm really grateful for all your help! #career #job #advice #copywriting #artist #art
