Nice article! I also think that being an artist is a stable job. I myself was never supported with my art hobby as a kid and where making 3d graphics became my main hobby, drawing was abandoned. Recently I got back to drawing and I hope to improve soon(even tho I'm a programmer haha:D).

You really have an amazing skill. It is impressive how you draw such detailed piece with clean, readible, yet realistic colors. Keep doing your best! Cheers
