Thank you for sharing
Hi, Brad. Been a planner/ scheduler for most of the last 20 years. Just want to say how appreciative I am with this video and how nice you are to bring this up beside the usual subjects around drawing technique.
My 2c is that knowing precisely how many times you put into each step/ planning will come with time and wisdom, knowing your own limit and productivity, so don't be surprised if any of you 'miscalculate' and end up feeling compressed with deadline, losing sleeps etc.
Just recalibrate, set mitigation plan and follow up.
Good one!
Your videos on freelancing are so helpful! Thank you!
Extremely helpful information, thanks, Brad!
You explained everything very well and i will use a lot of your tips for sure
Brad this was extremely helpful. Especially the meeting follow up tips. I'm going to have to start using that.
Nice overview and detailed.... great job Brad!
Great video as always Brad. Thanks for the insight.
So much useful information in this video. Thank you for uploading!
Congratulations to your cousin and her team 🎉!!!
This is great! It was refreshing to see how another freelancer manages their projects and your storytelling was super engaging :D
What a great and surprising video! Waiting for the next on the topic!
it really helps brad! thank you!
This was pretty interesting and insightful ^^ I'm thinking of doing some side works besides my main work, so all of this information is really great.
Oh and also, I love your upbeat persona in this video, makes it so easy to get hyped up.
This is really helpful for a creative grant I'm submitting to soon! They expect an applicant to explain how they plan to document the process of their project after they win.. That was a little confusing to me at first, but now I understand a little bit better why it's important to keep them in the loop, and the best ways to do so.
This actually really helpful, please do more videos like these :)
Thanks. Great advices. Nice history
More videos like this! PLEASE!
Congratulations team... :D
Thanks brad, these would help a lot...
Thanks for sharing. GREAT TIPS!!!
thanks! this was very helpful video!
Thank you so much for helping me getting started drawing
Awesome advice....Thanks
Very interesting. I will follow this
Awesome stuff man
Great insight to working with clients.
I was bad at this ,thank god I found you !
Also, maybe do another video like this using a mock creative brief. We could get a more detailed look into your particular process as it relates to the project at hand - Whether it’s illustrations for a presentation, web illustrations (or iconography), illustrations for a social media campaign, etc - Just an idea!
Brad this is very helpful. specially I'm looking for freelance Jobs
Good, sound advice.
Your drawing style is amazing ! Can you make a video transforming any photo into your art styles. Landscape may be the good choice for that. Thanks for all those qualified videos
Great video!
REAL pro tips!
Great information about project management! I'm so bad at these little steps.
Nice vid 👍🏽
good project management.
hey brad! in your gear video you said that you cant always use your cintiq. i think that you should test tablets on your macbook pro and use your cintiq pro 24 with your imac everyday, love your videos.
Hey brad, I have a question regarding on choosing my first pen on screen display monitor, I have watched both reviews of these two tablets that I'm leaning towards too. Which is better huion kamvas pro 20-22 vs the new wacom cintiq 16, those are my two options as I have cleared of all the competitors that I was researching before, would you mind clearing my confusion in purchasing either one of them? I hope you would answer my messages
P. S. Your videos are great keep up the good work
Thanks for your time,
David. B
Nice!)
I don’t think your intern is gonna make it Brad!
Be careful what you say here, The intern is usually the one replying to these comments ;)
Brad, there were no video links :(
Hi Brad! I'm currently working as a freelance illustrator for children's books, it's not my first project, but i don't really have that much of experience, i want to ask if it took too long for you to set your working hours during the day, how you managed to get more and more productive as a freelancer, cause i always feel like i'm improductive and i'm super afraid of getting called out or disapointing the clients, don't know if it's something mainly in my head, but sometimes can be really frustrating :(
Nathaly Lopes I feel exactly the same, but I actually am very lazy, the way I manage to finish things within my own deadlines like he said, is to schedule my day routine (in general), and I give to each thing I do some hours, and between those hours, I left free time, this is the key point here, thanks to those free minutes or hours if I’m struggling with a deadline I would use them to continue the work, and if I have plenty of time I would use it to relax (remember that relaxing will help you a lot while working on something, never use more than 3 or 4 hours without resting at least 10 minutes)
Maybe not the best way to manage time, but it works just fine for me :D
@@brayanrodriguez7096 What a coincidence, i do the same! haha I'm actually starting to get more freelance jobs right now, so i NEED to do this, also cause i don't have a display, so if you also deal with laptops or screens that are not made specially for this kind of job, you know what i'm talking about hahaha too much time staring at a bright screen for color accuracy and stuff. But even if i get my work updated, i still feel like that, i guess some kind of "impostor syndrome" is up here, now i'm trying to work 9 a.m till 8 p.m max. during the day, but it's a new thing for me, i hope when i get my own display i can be more productive, i've heard stories from other freelancers that said the displays helped them, it was more comfortable to work on and less tiring.
Nathaly Lopes Yup, that’s one of the most truly things, using a better display with accurate colors and perfect brightness makes everything more comfortable, and the best works are done while you feel happy with it :D
Sadly those are very expensive, I recommend you maybe an iPad Pro (if you don’t need too much photoshop or if you’re thinking of a pen display to illustrate they’re expensive too, but worth the buy, I used a Wacom tablet and it took me over a month to finish one (and not good) piece, bc I wasn’t comfortable, but after buying this I do 2 good pieces in one and a half week, it’s just amazing
@@brayanrodriguez7096 Dude, i live in Brazil, literally everything is expensive hahahahaha Just kidding :'D Ipads are off the table for me,i'm going for a Huion 156HD V2, which brad reviewed here too, it's still expensive, like,almost 4,000 on local currency,but it's waaay cheaper than a wacom display, which is around R$10,000, or R$15,000 if you're looking for the good ones or ipads that can go up to R$6,000 + the gadgets. I've been using for the past 2 years an Wacom Intuous Draw Small, i'd describe it as that cute distant little cousin of the displays haha i bought it when i still thought of art as a hobbie, and it's been a great buddy all those years, i do great stuff on it, but it's time to change, i'm thankfull to be able to change soon enough, due to the price of artistic devices here and the salaries, it's a privilege.
And i Agree, everything is better when you're happy with your workplace and the pieces you get to produce.
Nathaly Lopes Yes, that’s true too, Apple and Wacom are too expensive, I think the iPad (for artists) is worth the price, and 64gb is enough if your using it only for art stuff, but Wacom is a scam, definitely Huion is the best option for pen displays! :D
I guess I’m just lucky that I’m still young so the money used to buy the iPad wasn’t mine, I asked my parents to not give me gifts since 2015 and finally last Christmas we got enough for this, and currently I’m working a lot so I’m almost there to pay the price they invested on my art
Sadly not everyone can do the same, but remember! Your ability is more important than anything! Even if I had a Wacom it won’t make me better artist, just someone with money :P
In witch app you are searching for clients?
9:50 No Brad..... I am definitely not.... My day job is for a large bureaucracy
hahah, that made me laugh... but sorry that you experience it so often.
the videos that were supposed to show up at the end didn't. :ccc
Only you could get me to watch a presentation on gmo’s and a product called toc toc, I didn’t watch the others, did the toc toc crew win?
With my Regards
