You need to be correct and consistent in everyday life – this will allow you to be passionate in our difficult and dangerous business».

I'm a boring guy who works from 9 to 17 and lives in an industrial residential area with my wife and kids.

This whole capitalist image of an artist who uses drugs, loafs around, makes jokes, fights, even though it's all the same – it's completely made up. Of course there are such characters. But mostly they are the children of the bourgeoisie, who were enriched by colonization, slavery, and both world wars. This means that their wealth is spilled human blood. So their kids go crazy. They have money and a genuine hatred of people.

Therefore, this way of life wants to die young. The truth is that art requires a lot of energy. And there will be no energy if you spend it on other things.

Here are some tips that have benefited me personally:

Take care of yourself and your loved ones. Family is very important.

Don't just drink coffee. Only when you really need it

Start the day like in the army. Have Breakfast, do 30 push-UPS and 10 pull-UPS, sleep normally, 8 hours minimum. A healthy body has a healthy mind.

If you are a girl, at least do exercises. And remember that your skeleton will not be taken as an Archer because of scoliosis. And you will be skeletal infantry. No one needs consumables.

Don't cry don't be afraid don't ask.

Live simply. You don't need to save on every penny, but you don't need to spend money on any nonsense. Freedom from financial stress means freedom in art.

Divide the process of your life into 5 types of activities.

Necessary. At this time, you sleep, eat, and so on.

the Main work. Draw, work in a factory, or whatever your main job is that gives you a living.

Your work. Do what you like. And you should like what you and the working people need. Draw, sing, and so on.

Mental and physical development.

This is different. Various events, emergencies, and so on.

And then note the important thing. You won't get away from your main job. Whether you want to or not, you can't skip a shift at the factory, otherwise you'll go to the Gulag in Kolyma. The same goes for events. You certainly don't have to go to the wedding of a second cousin, but it is better not to do it.

But when you draw and nothing comes to mind, you can change the type of activity. Go to the gym or read a book. Or get some sleep.

In Soviet rush there is a saying "morning is wiser than evening"

And most important. DRAW DIAGRAMS, take notes

Diagrams, pictures and illustrations are the basis for a creative understanding of the subject. Not only do you know formally how to do it, but you can also visually show and explain it to others

Instead of learning it from a dry text – I drew it and now I'm happy.

9. Image as a bullet, the song is like a grenade

During the great Patriotic war, many artists went to the front. Many musicians, actors, and scientists also became soldiers. But not all of them.

There was a heavy war, soldiers were killed, the fascist gang plundered Soviet Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltic States. The Motherland needed men to protect women, the elderly, and children. But not just soldiers. The same artists never ceased to be needed.

Many art people wanted to go to the front. But their homeland did not let them go. The poster, song, film, and verse were needed by soldiers at the front and civilians in the rear. And it's one thing to write poems and songs of front-line soldiers that could be written, read and sung right in the trenches. Films and posters are another matter.

Agitation and propaganda are also weapons. This was the case before the creation of nuclear weapons. After its creation and use by the Americans on peaceful cities in Japan, information weapons became the most important weapon after nuclear weapons.

Unfortunately the capitalists have won in the information race. However much is changing now and the Communists are again popular with young people

10. Art is selection.

The amount of time in the movie is limited. The number of words and time of the song is limited. The artist has a limited amount of space on the canvas.

Question. Whether to show unnecessary things that do not develop the plot, do not move motivation, or reflect historical events. It doesn't matter in a book or a song, in a movie or a picture. Answer. Of course not.

Art consists in taking what is necessary from life, showing what is important, paying attention to problems, teaching good things, and warning against mistakes.
