Felt like my story was being discussed in the therapy session! I feel so seen with this video. Frankly, I’ve made similar mistakes, but thankfully I am focussing more on what really matters in my illustration career. Thank you James, your videos have been immensely helpful to serve as a guide to this lost kid.
Thank you for the advice! I am new to surface pattern design/illustration. I have been an artist for years, but pivoting to more digital art. I am diving in to hone my skills. Thank you for the reminder to not get caught up on the things that don't matter. I look forward to watching more of your videos! Cheers
Always a pleasure watching your videos James! When I was aiming to be a more realistic style illustrator I realised I hated the process of realism, would never work for me
Thank you so much for your videos! Thanks to them i’m gradually building development tactics and feel that working as an illustrator is no longer so impossible for me.
I am from India and in here there isn't any major publications or magazines that push and give a spotlight to the aspiring illustrators . But my question is can someone with a good portfolio get hired by international clients regardless of the boundaries?. Bcs I've read a few articles in which creatives has to settle down to "Berlin or us to get into that illustrative zone for getting hired by major companies.
Hey, thanks for the question. Living in a creative hub can certainly be an advantage in meeting the right people, but it's certainly not something that needs to hold you back from working with better clients. Most freelance illustrators never meet their clients face to face. Most communication is by email. If the portfolio is good, the borders don't matter. There may be some more complex financial and tax issues to work through, but it's not impossible. I work with illustrators in The UK, USA, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Japan, South America, Taiwan, Vietnam, Korea and South Africa. If you live and work in India, working with international clients could be a great opportunity. You are not limited by geography - you can send an email to anyone in the world if you can do the research and find them.
