Artist Studio Vlog | Freelance Illustrator Working from Home With Kids |
![]() |
Hello friends!! I'm back with another month-long studio vlog of my life working as a full-time freelance artist and illustrator!
Picking up from where I left off last month, I'll be taking you through my September to-do list as a freelance illustrator. Come join me while I spend a day painting and working from home when the girls' school closes, making appearances on my favorite creativity and freelance podcasts (links below!), meeting client deadlines, and working on personal projects -- PLUS find what I get up to in a magical week of no client work! Questions answered in this vlog: [22:35] - Could you please share your thoughts on getting a consistent flow of project inquiries? What would you do if the requests just stop coming? Would you get an illustration agent? Create ads? Contact all creative agencies in your area? [29:29] - How do you prepare your art supplies for traveling? For light travel and for moving into a new city? [32:01] - Are the speckled palettes distracting? [34:31] - How do you determine what to have as the underlayer (watercolor in your case, alcohol marker in mine) and what should be done in colored pencil? [39:30] - Your hair looks amazing, please share your secrets!
