Après quelques années en tant que professionnelle, voici ce que j’ai réalisé : - notre manière de dessiner évolue tout comme nous en tant qu’être humain. Et donc nos clients et notre niche évolue aussi. Rien n’est coulé dans le béton comme nous disons - ce que les uns trouvent « moche et sans aucun art » sera de toute beauté pour les autres : aucune comparaison ni compétition, être soi surtout dans son art est la clé. - la signature visuelle (ou le style visuel) : c’est comme le goût en nourriture ou dans le genre de vêtements que nous aimons au fil du temps >> nous évoluons et le style visuel aussi. Ce que j’ai appris dans la vie et qui a rapport avec ta superbe vidéo du jour : - connaître la base et les essentiels (cohérence, bonne présentation, portfolio/ site web qui a du sens, comprendre sa niche actuelle) >> nous avons tous la même colonne vertébrale et une ossature - être vraiment soi : nous avons tous des muscles de tailles différentes, personne n’est pareil et le clonage est illégal 😅 - autant d’humains = autant de chemins! : prendre le temps de découvrir saison après saison est la clé d’une réussite durable. 🌟🧡🌟🧡 (aurais-je dû le mettre en anglais?)
Bonjour Leslie!! 🤗💗 Merci pour ton analyze super pertinente! J'adore la comparaison avec le squelette, c'est vraiment ça! Les bases sont les mêmes, mais en tant qu'artistes nous pouvons bâtir ce que nous voulons sur ces bases :) Cette liberté peut être aussi épeurante que merveilleuse parfois!
Sometimes I feel like people tend to like the bad art more than really nice art. Not always of corse, but in a lot of cases yes. You can see those company style character design, OMG 😅
But what is bad art and what is nice art? 🤔 It really depends what their target audience and intent is... Maybe you and I think it's gross, but kids love it! In surface design something I've noticed is that trendy and highly marketable topics will always be more popular with companies AND customers alike. It could be the nicest art, if it won't fit with the customer's home decor, they ain't buying it...
@@ArtBusinesswithNesswhen i was a child i did have an eye for good art, but as a child what you can do??? You just consume what you are offered, an example: i never liked pink panter, but i would watch it because my family didnt really gave me options ( we didnt have cable ) growing up i didnt like lilo and stich 😂 but again, there were not a lot of options to choose from with similar products. When i discovered ghibli studios i was way more pleased with that, than disney.. and i have many examples, school books was a similar thing, they would include the most horrendous(for my taste) illustrations but,what could i do?😂😂😂
@@huntingfashiondolls3307 Lack of choice is sometimes a factor yes, but there are also lots of books/shows/products that kids are known to adore and that adults absolutely hate. An infamous example is Caillou...
@@ArtBusinesswithNess yes, of course, it makes no sense to think that my coment is a fact. Is just a random opinion based in my personal experience. If many people supported my opinion then maybe it should be considered something more.
@@huntingfashiondolls3307 It's an interesting discussion! How much of what we watch as kids is truly appealing to kids, and how much is just forced on us by adults?
Thank you for these reminders, Ness. Especially what you said about art styles because you're right. Every art style has it's place! For a while I thought my drawings had to be super detailed and rendered if I wanted to find work. While I do love rendering, I understand now that it's not always necessary, and there's something out there for everyone. ❤😄
That's very true! I sometimes get all caught up in details and rendering too, and I will often see an AMAZING product or design by another artist that's so simple and genius, and it's so brilliant that it makes me feel dumb for just spending 50 hours on my painting haha!
There's always so much valuable information in your videos and straight to the point! 🙌🏻 Thanks! I've been painting EVERY DAY for the last 3 years, and untill very recently I found my secret sauce! 🥰 Today I check the 5 cases!! I would add also to be tolerant to risk (the unknown, the how to, pitching, doing things out of your comfort zone)
Congratulations!! 🥳 You have all 5, great job Aby!! And you are absolutely right, being able to put yourself out there and be resilient is also super important. It should be point #6!
Thank you hun, I'm glad you liked it! This is a question I get very often, and in my opinion artists usually wait TOO long to start rather than not long enough :)
Merci pour le video. Ça fait plus de 10 ans que je travaille comme illustratrice et je voulais juste m'assurer que j'étais encore dans le bon métier LOL Des fois je me questionne tellement surtout quand il y a moins de travail. Je viens de subber. J'ai toujours besoin de conseil 😅
C'est une année difficile à cause de l'économie! Mais ça veut dire que c'est un bon moment pour essayer de nouvelles choses et expérimenter. L'illustration est un métier qui change continuellement, et on ne peut pas suivre une routine trop longtemps... ou ça commence à sentir le renfermé!
Thank you for every single Vedio. I do illustrations but I would love to do illustrations for articles in magazines but I don’t know what to write in the email and what to send when reaching out to the magazines 😅 and how the pricing for articles work Please Help 😭💕🙏
Those are big questions! Contacting art directors and pricing are complicated topics with lots of things to consider. I cover these topics in depth in my course: www.artbusinesswithness.com/level2
It’s not necessary to have other illustrators or even clients around you. All contracts are done online and you can reach any company in the world by email. Art friends are the same - I also don’t know any artists in my small town but I have lots of online art friends.
Do you feel ready to start sending out your portfolio... or not yet? Let me know!

Thank you for this video. I've been trying to work more on my calligraphy to improve my graphic design and illustration skills
Way to go! Calligraphy and hand-lettering are really important skills to have in many markets :)

I think I am ready as a professional illustrator but my problem is not having actual people around me who are part of the field. Any ideas?
It’s not necessary to have other illustrators or even clients around you. All contracts are done online and you can reach any company in the world by email. Art friends are the same - I also don’t know any artists in my small town but I have lots of online art friends.
