How to make money off of my art
It made me
blush! 
"exhilarating!!"
How I did it: Besides working really hard on the drawing itself, I also made an effort to try to get it into every (free) art show I came across. It ended up getting into 2 shows, won 2 merit awards, and I got a $50 check from my school!
Lessons & tips: I think the hardest thing is just the effort it takes to cart your own work around to different people and places. After awhile you just want to shrug and go, "Well, I probably won't win any money, so I might as well just stay home." but you just have to stick with it!
Resources: My art teachers are extremely encouraging- emailling me when an art competition is coming up, helping me choose between potential pieces to put in.
