Looking for professional mentor

It because i would say artist are clueless about art related job that why they often end up being graphic designer because it probably the most demanded ''semi artistic job out there.

I suggest you watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdpnBn9Cv9o to learn more about the different art related job that exist.

One of the major miss-conception i wanna to kill right now is that even if your not an employee you still have a boss and it the client you might think doing your thing will generate revenue just by itself.But you need first exposure and also there as to be a demand for what you create if not you need to create that demand.This mean producing original content it doesn't have to be perfect it doesn't even have to be that original but it as to have a market value.This mean that generally speaking you will cry because you have to be in competition with better artist than you who will do better than you for a fraction of the price you think your stuff is worth in less time it take you to do the same job this mean that you rarely ever as an artist want to start thinking about commision unless you have a quality portfolio.

One of the thing that will make you worth hiring is a reputation of being consistent in the work you produce and the quality of the content that is being produce.You're artistic style and how much you charge and how fast you can solve the client problem.You have more flexibility when working for yourself but it might also mean you will have to do more compromise to put food on the table.Such as working 2 job for more stablity as your experience permit you to transition to a full time if you wish to.

Perfection is unmeasurable therefor it impossible to reach it.
