Questions for a succesfully freelancing at home

Thu Jul 30, 2009, 5:02 PM
I've been swamped with many freelance projects and I don't want to disappoint my clients in any way. What do you recommend I do to streamline my work flow and creativity? I'm curious to know if you are a professional illustrator or pay the bills with your art in any way, how is your daily life? Do you wake up early? are you a night owl? How do you deal with siblings (if any)? How important is family support? Do you time your work and finish at a predetermined time or do you scatter your freelance throughout the day? How deeply do you concentrate in your freelance and how do you protect that from distraction. Do you have a studio separate from your household?
I've been freelancing many years, but it seems to be getting busier lately. I would appreciate ANY tips. Thank you

Well... I cannot be happy enough to be supporting my self with my art for the past 2 years. Freelance and Caricature gigs have paid me enough to have an average income and I am happy about that for now. Obviously I want to grow a lot more but it all comes with Patience. For people to be paying me for what I love is really unexpected and awesome!!

Hey man! Just wanted to thank you for the fave! I'm loving your speed painting practices. I hate you for being so studious since it reminds me that I need to keep practicing!!! =)
:iconheckthor:
~heckthor Nov 2, 2009, 2:12:02 PM
THnks! You have masted digital painting and sometimes I go to your DA to study how the hell you don't use visible black outlines :)
:iconkay-too:
*kay-too Nov 2, 2009, 2:45:34 PM
Haha not quite mastered...but I'm improving. That was an amazingly large compliment you just paid me and I thank you for that. I've actually been studying some of your work (like your hobo and frankenstein pictures). I love your stylized comic book look. You have an amazing grasp on composition and anatomy that I wish I had haha. I'm just a half-decent painter...if you ever see my pencils, they're horrendous =)

ah man, you don't even know how many artist I envy myself... and your art's intricacy and coolness is definitely something to envy.

Thanks much dude, art's weird like that,
when two different artists with completely different styles
look at each other's work it baffles them because its something they don't do.
Like a magic trick they don't know so it still amazes them.

Que tal Hector! Eres Méxicano o de familiares mexicanos? porque de ser así que curioso que los dos ganaramos la app en el ChiuStream (curiosamente de la misma edad), tienes un trabajo muy bueno, ya te agregué a la watch list.

Saludos!
