Check My Digital Illustration Online Class here 👉 geni.us/uqeu - I will teach how to illustrate step by step using, from finding inspiration, defining color and style all the way to the final artwork. It's for Procreate or any other tool like Photoshop or Affinity Designer
I too really want to learn and do digital illustration but the problem for me is I don't have and iPad nor a laptop to start with and looking at the illustrates like you I feel really motivated to do but just because I don't have a source to start I can't do it.
Getting started in illustration is so hard, but you're giving some really good tips! A strong portfolio and reaching out proactively to potential clients has worked great for me. I love your artwork, Asia!
You don’t necessarily need a degree anyway. It can look good on a resume, but it’s really the quality of the portfolio they look for. You don’t really have to go to college to learn fine arts or illustration. You’re local arts center, if it has art classes, and courses online can help you learn the fundaments and build from the basics. Reaching out to pros and friends for advice on organizing a great portfolio on being active on social media is a great way to get noticed.
Hey, I'm a high school student who's been having doubts lately about whether I can eventually do freelance after I graduate. This video was really helpful and insightful as well as encouraging. Thanks for the advice!
Funny how many interior designers turn into illustrators. i am at the same stage and never thought i could earn money with my drawings. But slowly my illsutration buisness is starting to pick up and i am so thankful for that. In all honesty, the architecture and interior architecture is really hard. Working 12 hours a day and being treated like shit was normal. That's why i decided to take a step back from interior design. Instead i found art.I don't regret going full freelance. I can totally understand everything you are saying, because it is not easy being a freelancer. Especially during these covid times. Thank you for this inspirational video! I needed this today.
So happy you find this inspirational and that illustration is going out great :) hopefully, more stories like ours will inspire others to take that step 🤗
Hi, I felt really inspired by your story, since I'm kind of switching careers as well, mostly because I do wanna make something I feel passionate about, your artwork is amazing ❤️
Hi Natalia thank you so much! I’m super happy that it helped, means a lot to me that it did! And making something you are passionate about totally worth the try ;) all the very very best! 🤗
The fact you made jewelry on the side really surprised me. You have style. I've made jewelry as well it's a lot of work and the competition is tough. Thanks for the video I like your color choices and clean looks.
I checked out your artworks, they are beautiful! I majored in 3D animation in school and graduated last year. After almost a full year in a 2D/3D generalist job, I reconsidered pursuing 3D animation and instead, I'm interested to pursue 2D illustration as it was basically my first love, it was my hobby all along and I would love to be able to support myself by doing works that I enjoy! I honestly feel lost and scared I may not make it, so now I've been looking around online for advice and stumbled upon your videos. Thank you for sharing your experience! You are inspiring! :)
Hi 👋 thank you so so much! Such a lovely comment :) means a lot to me that my message it resonated so well 😊 I’m sure that you will be able to make it work! Will take time and effort but totally worth it 👍🏼
Where was the video my whole life youtube???????? I mean this video is all of the things I want to be in my life. Thank you soooooooooooooooo much Asia Orlando now I can show this video as an example to my family so that even I can be like you! You may don't know but this video has helped me veryyyyyyyyy much. Literally like I always want to live in Amsterdam and want to be an illustrator and even an interior designer and wanted my own clay jewelry small business. So once again thank you!
31 here, and am considering going for Illustration Design for Fashion, Independently. I went for music, had two albums out (still continue to do so) but I have a day job which has kept me financially stable. However, I realized that I don’t want to keep continuing the path, and wanted to stimulate my own needs, and make a living doing something I know I will love to do in my own leisure time. Here I am, having an idea, know the risk, but not afraid. Did it several many times, and it all works out well in the end.
Hey thanks for this! I’m so hopeful about my journey as an illustrator! This made me realize that I’m actually not at such a bad place ❤❤❤I’m so excited to create more good work
I hope things are going good with you as you're running a small business. Here in Canada, many small business owners, especially those who are in the hospitality industry, have lost their jobs due to COVID-19. Even I had to be laid off. Love your illustrations. I can imagine how you must be proud of having designed them. I will be a freelance designer in the future, aside from my full-time job. So, thank you for being inspirational.
It´s so cool your work Asia. I just found out your channel randonly and as right now I am seriously thinking quiting my job as fabric pattern illustrator at a factory here in Brasil. My days felt unmotivated and I belive that I have lots of potential. I have a degree in Graphic Design and just finished my college but jobs for those areas at least here where I live is shorten and very badly paid. Your video just fueled my wishes and will keep working hard to finally handling the pink envelop at HR.
I am not in the situation of quitting my job per say but I loved this video for many different reasons. It has inspired me to not give up on the dream of one day being an entrepreneur. Much love and thanks xoxo
Amazing! Heartfelt thanks for sharing this. I trained & worked in visual communication, now after raising my family I'm trying to restart in illustration, so this is so helpful. Much appreciated!
Thank you very much for recording this video it was very inspiring, we are starting with my wife, art business (From Purple Cloud Art Shop) every good motivation is like a treasure.
Thanks so much for the advice and encouragement! I just started my UA-cam channel so it’s really nice to hear from other artists who have made their own way as well. 🙂
Beautiful work, I love your vibrant and bold style. Also a lot of inspiration and advice for someone who is starting out. Thank you. You’ve gained a follower here. As a graphic artist, I love your attention to packaging and the style of your videos too. I’ve also graduated in Fine Art, and love watercolour and gouache. I’m just bought an iPad Pro and waiting for it to arrive. I can’t wait to experiment on that.
Hi :) thank you so so much for such lovely words! means a lot to me :) I appreciate the fact that those details are noticed ☺ Thanks a lot! and all the best when the iPad arrives, I hope is soon!!! 🌿🌟
I really liked this video! So inspiring and informative! Also love your illustrations! The main problem i have is that i often think “i am not good enough, who even wants my illustrations” etc. That holds me back and demotivates me sometimes..
Thank you so much 😊 and what you mention happens a lot, but my advice is not to listen to those thoughts at all and just do your thing! We all have this kind of thoughts and it really works better if we just ignore them and do the things we love the most!:)
Thank you for sharing this! I am a portrait artist (but also a stay at home mom/homeschooler) and I have long been interested in illustrating children's dance books as well as in fashion in some aspect. I am always searching for ideas and helpful hints about illustration. I was encouraged by what you said- don't be concerned with Instagram likes if you know your work is good! I needed to be reminded of that. Thank you!
Thank you so much for making this video. You are right that it’s not easy to left our job that give us stable income but there is something more important. The important thing is our happiness. I hope i can follow your decision and your success, this video mean a lot to me. Stay healthy 🥲☺️
For years I've been trying to work as a freelance illustrator but I've always felt insecure and blocked, but after watching your videos you've inspired me, thank you!! Keep up the great work! ✌
Thank you for your helpful video! I am currently a freelancer (i quit my job as a graphic designer) and i recently figured out that i want to become a freelance illustrator. However i have been having a hard time planning my life out because I don’t know where to begin. Your video helped me set the proper mindset to pursue what i really love. Your work is inspiring!
@@michelle9182 i think they both have their perks, it would really just depend on personal preference. As an artist there's a lot of freedom to explore. Keep in mind that a graphic designer is more geared towards making logos, layouts, product / packaging design, etc. Those are some of the things that I have not really been able to apply in my projects as an illustrator except for layouts (book design) wherein i made both book layout and the illustrations. It does help having technical knowledge on design principles and software but if it's not a priority, you can simply study those on your own. I hope this helps 😊
@@bettspaints thank you so much for responding! I was thinking maybe graphic design since nowadays everything is related to technology. And perhaps help me better to market myself u know
Thank you for your video! Don't let get Instagram engagement or any other platforms stop you from creating if you know your work is good.. You shared a lot of golden nuggets. Stay safe and love from Malaysia :)
the way you illustrate this video thumbnail bring me to watch all your video😍 Totally agreed about instagram engagement. Thank you! this is motivate me to create more persistent.
Wow! Loved the way u described ur journey... it's so inspiring! :) I'm an illustrator and motion design artist but I've been trying to focus on my personal work for so long, it's just not happening because of my own destructions and sometimes overwork too!! I hope soon I can achieve my goals too the way u did!
And here I am sitting and thinking, how to gain courage and quit one of my jobs. So I can work on the weekends with my little art shop or something similar. Both jobs are in the graphic design sphere, but I'm tired of creating things that I don't feel like are mine (I do not know how to express it). And yet all those fears kick in: Am I good enough? Will I get the job done? Will people like me? Or My language barrier will push me back? etc. Even tho I'm thinking of quitting just one of my jobs. And work at weekends on my dreams. But it still so so hard to do. :( People like You Asia are inspiring! I admire your courage. And I hope one day I will also be able to tell a similar story. But now I hope for the best and to build-up courage for quitting just one of my jobs :D
Hi Bella, I totally understand where you are. My advice, you can start slowly building your portfolio, like 1hr day. Create a website, they are fairly cheap now, and build it up, slowly you will have small clients of your own, then medium clients, and by the time you realize, you are running your onw show :) 1hr a day consistently ... hope it helps
Hi, I love your story and hope this can inspire me to become full-time illustrator. I'm still struggling with my decisions now. I work as graphic designer for a company for now but my heart always want to do illustration and drawing like you.
Hi im a student in major of fashion education. But sometimes i thing fashion education is not really my world. I always depress when im sewing or being a teacher assisstant in vacational school.. And now i want to be happy, i wanna be an illustrator. Hope this is the best way.. So thank you for this video. I felt really inspired by your story and you amazing artwork 💕
Thank you, I've been working as a decor artist for 15 years now (background in fine arts too 🌺). I decided to be on contract with my company in 2019, off a steady payroll with flexible hours. That gave me time to invest 3 years in building my own clients. I'm investing in a professional website to boost my client outreach... persistence is a major point and yes, I'm extremely needy for a good social network, this is why I keep in touch with my old company; they're my group of misfits.
Hi would just like to say this was a really comforting and informative video, erm I've just come out of uni for illustration and now with the pandemic it was hard to stay motivated on my goals but put this video on a a whim as it was recommended to me and it has just boots my happiness and motivation thank you
Hi Asia! I really love your video and your works and jewelry business! I am starting now to brand myself, I thank you for inspiring me to be motivated and be persistent. I agree that nothing worth comes too easy!
@@AsiaOrlando you're welcome 💕☺️ talents really must be shared to inspire others. By the way what did you enjoy the most traditional or digital painting?
What a great and motivational video! I am a beginning small time UA-cam artist. I find it hard to push past the self doubt and I find that because of that I lose out on what “could be”. Your video helped put some things out there that I hadn’t really considered. Thanks for the video! P.S. Your art is beautiful and now I’m subbed!
Hi 👋 how are you! Thank you so much, I’m glad that it helped somehow! I would say it’s totally normal, just focus to the long term believe in yourself 😊🤗 all the very very best and thanks again for such lovely words :)
I'm going to bingewatch your illustratorplaylist now. This is so inspiring!!! I also decided to go from communicationdesign to Illustration and i'm preparing to go freelance next year. Thank you so much for your videos! Stay safe ^^.

Thanks a lot! We really don’t know what breed is she. Might have some bat 🦇 in the family with those ears 😊
You’re really lucky, and you seem happy. I hope to follow the same path one day.
thank you so much Asia. I am an Italian independent artist and it is very difficult to keep staying persistent, your video is very encouraging.
I’m so glad to have found your channel! I aspire to be like you! Finally I found an artist whose work is mostly based on Procreate / IPad!
Thank you so much :) so glad that it helps 🤗
Won’t lie this is the toughest journey I’ve been on! That’s how I know I’m on the right path! Great quote!

Thank you so much 😊 you too
thank you Very much for your great advice and for share your passion thank you
Thank you, I've been working as a decor artist for 15 years now (background in fine arts too 🌺). I decided to be on contract with my company in 2019, off a steady payroll with flexible hours. That gave me time to invest 3 years in building my own clients. I'm investing in a professional website to boost my client outreach... persistence is a major point and yes, I'm extremely needy for a good social network, this is why I keep in touch with my old company; they're my group of misfits.
That's so great to hear, that you get to do what you love :) and totally, persistence is highly underrated 🌿
Loved this video, gave me a lot of inspiration as an artist too!
Hi would just like to say this was a really comforting and informative video, erm I've just come out of uni for illustration and now with the pandemic it was hard to stay motivated on my goals but put this video on a a whim as it was recommended to me and it has just boots my happiness and motivation thank you

@@AsiaOrlando you're welcome 💕☺️ talents really must be shared to inspire others. By the way what did you enjoy the most traditional or digital painting?
To be honest I enjoy both, each one for different reasons 😊
@@AsiaOrlando really? I will try doing digital because of how the color appears 😉
All the very very best :) 🤗🤗🤗

Thank you so much Maisha 😊 really appreciate it :)
I love your channel and art. I think you are a nice person
What a great and motivational video! I am a beginning small time UA-cam artist. I find it hard to push past the self doubt and I find that because of that I lose out on what “could be”. Your video helped put some things out there that I hadn’t really considered. Thanks for the video! P.S. Your art is beautiful and now I’m subbed!
Hi 👋 how are you! Thank you so much, I’m glad that it helped somehow! I would say it’s totally normal, just focus to the long term believe in yourself 😊🤗 all the very very best and thanks again for such lovely words :)
