    I recently had someone reach out to me out of the blue to make their character for them. This was the first time I had ever been given this opportunity, and it was pretty stressful (it was being paid for). I'm not even close to being a professional, but I can definitely say, based on this video, you should accept any opportunity you get to make something for someone else. This first time experience allowed me to be very cautious with the decisions I made for the art, and it turned out looking okay.

    • @danielquintana6045
      @danielquintana6045 3 роки тому +24

      The problem at least from personal experience is that I see a lot of my classmates at university that go for art education tend to be the least hardworking ones. They kinda just pick it because its "easier "and they tend to be the ones to have weaker knowledge of the fundamentals and skill(cus they don't practice). Which saddens me because I think to myself, really? this is the level that middle/high school student will get as professors. I personally considered art education as a career path but I am not good with kids nor have patience. This definitively does not apply everywhere just speaking from my personal experience. I have a lot of respect for art teachers and there are a lot out there that take their profession seriously and care for the artistic development of their students.

      Im 65. When I was young & in school, my father said "there is no money in art, study to do a 'real' job". I was not allowed to take "the frivolous expense" of art classes in school.
      Now, after many years of job hopping (because I was never happy in my jobs) & I've finished raising my kids, I get to do me. Am not sure where to start as digital did not exist back then, but I plan to give it one heck of a try. If I make some pocket change to supplement my retirement income, yay for me.
      In short, dont waste time by waiting or giving up. Pursue your dream. Good luck.

      Haha I’m almost 21 and thought I was late to the game. But your comment and everyone else’s really helped show me that’s just the anxiety talking. At the end of the day, it’s better just to start (at any age or point in time) rather than never starting at all. If this is what you want to do (even if it’s just a hobby like you mentioned or whether you want a solid job in it) just start now (like you said with the basics). If you’re consistent with it just sketching everyday or doing finished pieces everyday, soon enough you’ll be ready for something serious. There is always a market for people who want your art or who like your style. You just have to put yourself out there and go for it. We believe in you!! Much love and support!!

      Try harder. Work on your skills. ;) And Importent: Have Luck. There a so many People out there who wanna draw for a living, so find your niche. Maybe your set of goal is to high?(right now) Being hired by a company is for most of us just a dream. But being hired as freelancer is more likely or look for another Job option, you havent considered yet. Maybe working in a normal Design inviroment- they will notice that you are a good illustrator (If you are) and so you might have mostly "Design Jobs" but also "Illustration" Jobs. (Its a plus when they don´t have to hire someone.) I never had a single contrakt with "Illustrator" on it, but I created comics and mascots, painted murals for shops and fair stands, and did even coverart and Illustration for books. It just do not came as jobtitel. If all fails ask yourself if you actually want to do that for a living or just for your heart.

    Something else of note when working freelance - there will always be flakes; there will always be someone who praises your work, says you're perfect for their project, and then they disappear from the face of the Earth once you talk price.
    They won't be the last, so get used to it.
    I've been there, and I'm sure every illustrator has as well.
    Don't sweat it, and don't let it deter you from pursuing your passion. For every flake that vanishes in the wind, there's another client around the bend who means business, and for every legit client you complete work for, you have another stone paved on your path towards being an illustrator.

" (Looking through your videos to see if this already exists.) Thanks for your content!

    I feel like I wouldn’t be able to produce ideas frequently enough to become a concept artist so illustration might actually be best for me. Illustrations have always inspired me and are probably the majority of the reason why I’m interested in art!

      Posting on social media every day does not mean posting complete illustrations every day. They can just be WIPs, less complex drawings, or even studies, doodles, or concept art. Pretty much anything as long as it’s art-related. Posting art every day on social media is not so much for fishing for potential jobs and clients (that’s what the portfolio is for), but more for raising your engagement and reach so that the algorithm favors you and shows your art to more people. The more people see your art, the more followers you get, and more followers mean that more people know who you are and you will end up getting more traffic to your portfolio, website, commission info, etc.

    • @YTartschool

      Doesn't need to be a polished painting! Look at my IG I post mostly studies and quick sketches and only once in a while I might drop a bigger painting or the steps leading to the finished painting. Just gotta figure out a way to break up your progress in clear steps you can post about. (my last drawing coloring tutorial ua-cam.com/video/Wvng0oPkNy4/v-deo.html breaks the process with this exact thing in mind!)
      If you don't post every day - like every other day for example - your account will still grow but it's like 25% as effective, exactly like what I'm experiencing now since I haven't been posting as regularly in October! I've had many of these cycles and it's always the same. The difference posting every day makes is crazy.

    Hey so something about medical illustration that you didnt mention: you have to have graduated from a credited medical illustration course at a university to get work in that field all with very small class sizes that people come from all over the world to attend. There was, last I checked, about 12 of these courses in North America all with small class sizes. To quality for these courses you'll need prerequisites such as university Physiology 101 and Biology 101. It is EXTREMELY rare for a person from a purely artistic background to become a medical illustrator, usually its taken up by med students. This is all information that I got from a meeting with the University of Toronto's medical illustration head about ten years ago so some of it may be misremembered or outdated.

    Obviously I don't want to sound pleased about the art school statistics or anything (i'm not trust me) but i'm kinda glad how reassuring you were about getting into illustration without having done art school itself. I'm doing English at Uni currently, but my kinda dream job is to do illustrations and maybe freelance a little. Everyone was pretty shocked that I wanted to do English instead because apparently I do have some talent in art, but I was going though a rough time when making my choice so this is where I ended up. I try and do drawings every other day or so, and i've been watching tons of videos on digital art (it's a new medium for me) so hopefully i'll get there one day. Thanks for the help!

    You know, i had a shitty day today because of my coworker from a job that I don’t even like.
    I gave up trying to work as an illustrator because I got rejected a lot trying to find a job in this field. Your video got me motivated again, and I’m considering to even join your artschool. I really don’t want to die one day regretting that I die along with my dream, so hopefully your videos can help me get better and motivated as an artist so I could just quit my job and do my dream job.
    Thank you very much for the videos. Definitely gonna subscribe 😄
