Excellent. Alex Kiesling gave some important advice, which dispelled many of the misconceptions and fears I have had about even just drawing regularly. I made a whole list of the points which inspired me the most, of which not worrying about style and exploration are the most important. Thanks for this video!
I have gotten some clients from a simple cold emails. Just basic information about me and link to my website. Keep a spreadsheet to record what their response was.
This video talks about time management in art school; many of the suggestions can be applied to freelance life. ruclips.net/video/6oBGQWpKDoc/видео.html -Prof Lieu
I'm curious about learning blender, but I'm so overwhelmed because it seems so complicated. I also don't know if my laptop can handle the program 😂. Any thoughts?
fortunately blender has an amazing community to learn from so finding solutions for any problems you might encounter should be no issue. Also not having a strong enough computer is a common problem. I would try the program out and build simple scenes at first just to see if you enjoy the process of CGI. If you want to go further you can always learn how to optimize your settings and workflow so you dont overwork your computer.
you could try low poly modeling - some artists have done amazing work using low poly and it takes less RAM . good luck! - CG cookie has a step by step free video tutorials for blender too . my laptop does video and some simple modeling with 16GB and i5 and HD 250 graphics.
I want to become a freelance illustrator, I'm only 13 but I want to get better early. I feel like I'm really bad at digital art so I want to know how to get better
A freelance illustrator can totally be an entrepreneur! An entrepreneur is someone who seeks out business opportunities and things of the sort, and a freelance illustrator is just a more specific label for someone who does commissioned artwork :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff

Still can't get over the fact that i can't play Broadway music on Prof Lieu's class 😩
Remember, my classes at RISD were FIVE HOURS LONG! 😂 -Prof Lieu
@@artprofomg with your recent obsession with Aaron Tveit, has your opinion been changed about playing Broadway music in your class?

Question: what is the difference between being a freelance illustrator and being an entrepreneur? Is one better than the other?
