Ideas to go from student to full-time Illustrator 👩‍🎨

A couple of years ago I found this article about how to turn your Illustrations skills into a full-time job and from time to time I revisit it to see what I need to do in this path to learning how to draw and live from my illustrations. 

The part that I love the most about this article is that was made by Patreon and it's an interview with one of my favorite Illustrators and biggest inspirations Frannerd. 

Here is the article:

My favorite points are 1,2, 4 and 7. Which ones are your favorite?

Who's your favorite Illustrator or your biggest inspiration?

Finished My First Mix Media Sketchbook!! 🙊

I finally finished my first Sketchbook dedicated to drawing ✨

 

I have been working in drawing what excites me, I call it "Morning Free Drawing Session" or "Morning Session" (as you have seen it in my weekly videos), I primarily do it in the mornings, that's why the name.

Hi!!

This' last week's video. I also have been thinking about renaming these series of videos with something related to "____ in the life of an illustrator". Should I? 🤔

Love,
