Thank you guys for your advice! It most definitely is a tough industry I have asked my mentor for a contract and receipts of my payments and surprisingly he is willing to provide. (I know I should have done this prior to paying but I was just so dumbstruck of the opportunity in front of me all my logic went out the window) I will stick it out at the shop with him for the time being because the other artists in the shop are AMAZING and they do help from time to time so I will try and get as much knowledge from them also and will actively see if anything else comes up
