Which is better for me a digital artist or an interior designer?
I like to draw a lot and I decided that it would be better for me if I were to take a career where I can paint or just draw. I understand that if I am an interior designer I won't be painting all the time, but I do find it enjoyable to make others happy; If I were to redesign their home or workspace to the way they would like it, that would be quite fun to turn something old and boring into something they enjoy what they see! As a digital artist, I can draw a lot, do commissions, and just draw! It sounds like a dream to me! Making art for people, or for video games. It just sounds like so much fun!!

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?
