We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Timothy Yan. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Timothy below.

Hi Timothy, thanks for joining us today. What’s the best or worst investment you’ve made (either in terms of time or money)? (Note, these responses are only intended as entertainment and shouldn’t be construed as investment advice)

I think the best investment I’ve made is probably getting the Wacom Cintiq Pro. It really helped me when it came to doing digital art which is where I do most of my work now. At the time I was just using a really cheap 100 dollar drawing tablet that took a while to get used to. I think it’s worth investing in one if you plan to go digital.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

My name is Timothy Yan I am a digital painter/illustrator who loves to play games. I got into drawing way back when I was a kid but never took the discipline seriously until I got into high school. Some problems I’ve solved are meeting deadlines by compromising with my clients or partners so that we can get a mutually beneficial solution. I’m most proud of graduating college since it’s been the biggest accomplishment in my life so far.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

I like the satisfaction of completing a piece and having it be seen by people who enjoy my work.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

Be the best artist I possibly can be and make a living off what I love doing.
