venho te acompanhando a um tempo, sou brasileira também, e seus vídeos têm me ajudado bastante a criar coragem pra começar a monetizar oq faço (pretendo abrir comissões ano que vem, mas ainda da medo) ainda mais aqui no brasil onde perspectiva para artista é inexistente e a única forma de ganhar algo com isso é através do dólar. Tenho medo do futuro justamente pela falta de emprego aqui e todo esse surgimento irritante de IA, n tenho experiência de mercado pois me tornei adulta a pouco tempo, mas espero que essa carreira freelancer ainda vale a pena. Consegui crescer o suficiente no insta com 10k, então vou ver no que isso vai dar. Desejo mt sorte pra vc sayuui, não é facil kkkk
17:35 A lot of times it probably has nothing to do with you. I think a lot of people don't actually commission art that often and it might be a couple of years before they want or need something commissioned again. In my own case it was nearly a 3 year gap between the last 2 times I actually commissioned an illustrator for 2D art because it's not something I do very often. If someone commissioned you and they were happy with what they received they will most likely consider you again next time they need or want something but it might be awhile before that happens. So I wouldn't really overthink about this.
@MistyKathrine Well, a friend of mine gets commissioned by recurrent clients for personal commissions a lot. When I was faced with that fact, I started believing that yes, that is possible. The matter is: finding people that WANT to come back, not people who NEED to come back, if that makes sense. I'm still finding out how to pull that off.
@@Sayuui Oh, I'm not saying it doesn't happen, it definitely does and is good when it does, I just mean don't take it personally if you don't have a lot repeats yet, it probably has nothing to do with you and you're probably not doing anything wrong. Just keep doing your best and I'm sure you'll start having more repeat clients soon. :)
It's been a pleasure to discover your channel this year. I even put some of your advice into use and it helped me with social media! ❤ That SMART method is cute! I feel that its also better to set goals that only depend on yourself. For example "Reaching 300 followers by the end of this month" is very arbitrary and has a lot of random factors going into it. But "Posting sketches twice a week for the next month" only comes down to your own work ethic. I strongly believe that growth comes from looking inwards first. I hope 2025 will be good to you as well.
You can make people feel good if you work on hard with their commission listen to there wants and desires for it share often your progress and keep in touch if you want something changed. I cannot multi task for the life of me and I cannot talk to people while working on art, I get overwhelmed and distracted and it slows down the progress and it slows down my ability to hyperfixate on it which is where I do my best. Every single client I have ever gotten has come back for return commissions. You just give them good work and a good product keep them updated listen to what they actually want and inform them frequently about the progress and when changes can be made and the full scope of work.
I started "anime" illustration like 6 or 8 months ago, so i didn't expected much, and i wasn't even good back there, but its insane when i manage to cook something genuinely good and just cant even pass the mark of 1k views and 100 bookmarks on Pixiv and 0 retweets on Twitter, when it was more than enough to appear on Pixiv rankings. I hate to admit, but i think i just have to stop painting and study marketing. It hurts just to think that.
Hi Sayuui. Good video liked and subscribed. I would like to make a commission but i can't for now. I really like you art and i think you have a lot of potential so cheer up!

Ouch, it's much easier when art is just a hobby! Good luck!

Great video Sayuui. The advice was very helpful. I will try to use the advice for next year and also hope you succeed in your art career too!❤

@041able take a look at my marketing video, that might help you out
so many of us in the same boat
@octobomb breaking into the industry and making grand is something a lot of people want, but most can't pull off unfortunately 🥲
