I'm only 17 years old but I'd like to know the pros and cons of freelancing and working for studios.
Freelancing as an illustrator seems pretty time demanding and unpredictable. Also the paperwork can be a pain. You have to copyright all your work and make contracts and such and such. But I suppose you get more freedom of what you want to do and when.
I want to make comic books. So working for a label is a must. It's more secure and stable but you probably just get put on dumb projects that never get finished until you rise up and get some say am I right? Also you can't just say "no thanks" if you don't want to do the job. There is always the self publishing option though.
Either way it's pretty risky. But that's what being an artist is all about! the main issue is promotion but I'll probably make a separate thread about that.
Any information about working in comic books/ illustration would be awesome thanks.
