Any Ideas to Monetize My Skill?

[MarkEast]

Hey guys, this is my first thread on BHW ever, so please be gentle.

Let's get straight to the point - I need your help. I need ideas to monetize my skill, which is drawing cars (and also buildings, cities, etc.). The style that I prefer to draw in is very realistic, almost photorealistic; though I can work in other styles as well.

I am thinking something in the lines of an Instagram account for showcasing my work + a YouTube channel with timelapse videos of me drawing different types of vehicles (and possibly some tuts in the future). However, I am not sure if something like this would be worth the time and effort invested, because... well, if it don't make Grants, Jacksons, and Benjamins, it don't make sense - in my book, at least.

I had never even thought about turning my car drawing hobby into $$$ but taking into account the positive comments that I have gotten from many people, especially my teachers in art school, I think it really is one of my strong suits, and voices in my head are telling me that I should do something about it.

What are your thoughts?

create ebooks teaching step by step how to make professional drawings (you can mention about cars, cities, etc, but also other subjects of more interest to most people), there are some ebooks teaching how to draw that have had many sales, you can try to sell this on your own or through affiliates.

another alternative would be to design logos, those are the options I can think of

post a few samples so people can judge.

Your idea is good enough, you should start it
Make your YT channel, Tiktok,SM , at the same time you can also sell your Art creation.
doesn't need to be timelapse video, you can just record when you drawing, than fast forward the video before upload it

Build an audience and then sell custom drawings on canvas like people send you a pic with their car and you draw it with some tunning options or in an unique landscape like the Artic, Mars, Moon but still their car... different options just need to be creative but the key element here is social, you need a presence.

I am pretty good at art and do something similar and sell canvases.

Can i see some samples and then i can perhaps give you some pointers.

Start a YouTube channel. Done.

youtube chanel to show your art and teach others it is the obvious path to go, from there you could even sell courses and books about drawing techniques.

An IG handle dedicated to your art would definitely help. You'll likely have to buy one and rebrand.

Youtube will be great for your start
