I have a graphic design degree 24 years ago. I retired 3 years ago and I went back and re-did my degree again. I fell in love with illustration in school. I want to expand that degree and make it my new career. Thanks for your video.
Dear Mr. Tom Froese, I've just discovered your channel 5 hours ago and have played about 5 videos. I just want to say that I've never learned more about introduction to Illustration from my misadventures in online art membership and youtube rabbit-hole hopping in recent few years than I just did now in 5 hours. I wish I had found your channel so much earlier, could have given myself more idea about structure and discovering one's own path in a wide creative field that I'm still looking from outside in (27 yrs AFTER my initial spark in the mid90s! - and after ALL this time of being born an Artist but never quite knew how to be One), and less feeling lost of what else to do during the pandemic. But i guess today is my Spirit-guided day. Thank you for your generosity to your audience 💖God bless you and your teaching.
Thank you, ZLv S! :) This is very generous feedback about my content! Glad you're getting a lot from it … wishing you an amazing journey through illustration!
Just replace Design school with Fashion school and Skateboard painting and this video resonates with my experience. Im finding myself not sure if skills in character art and sumi painting apply to painting surfboards, surfskates, and hand painted tee shirts. Or shoe design.
Thank you so much for these videos. All I know is I wanna draw for a living. I've been watching all kinds of RUclips videos about the topic for a while now, and I've never come across a video like this. I was starting to get pretty depressed about it, actually. You made it seem possible again ❤ Thank you!
Lol I have to pause the video at this moment because you were talking about kfc earlier, and then later you say “this is my journey begins” and it flicked to an ad about chicken nuggets… it made me laugh a bit harder than I probab should have 😂 lovin the video so far, just felt a need to pause here haha
Thank you creating a clear wonderful podcast. What if I have 6 different art forms that I am enjoying? Makeup artistry, face painting (those make some money) I am just a beginner with learning fine art and illustration, but want to do it all!
Hi Chaya, thanks for listening! I think a serious illustrator would need to focus eventually, but if you’re still considering your options then keep trying lots of things until you find the one thing that really captures your imagination. Hope that helps.

Amazing to hear. Thank you @lostcat!
Really liked hearing how you're finding your way to illustration. My route differed but is also circuitous.
Thanks … happy to share my story. It probably always takes longer than you think it will!
Tom, I have always enjoyed your teaching & thank you for sharing. I took a few of your classes on Skillshare.
Thanks, Ket! :)
So glad I found this!
I'm so glad you found it too, Surya! :) Thanks for the note.

@@TomFroese so essentially one thing needs focus for success.
True!
