Critique my portfolio!

I think you can take some low freelance gigs. I mean, "professional" is an ambiguous term. For some people professional means getting paid for your work which could even be a shit drawing, and if you get paid for it, then you are professional technically, some people associate the word with having a world class lvl portfolio.

But anyways, I think your portoflio needs focus. There is a couple of nothing portraits, some nothing sketches, some studies, a couple illustrations. Just Do your best work and put it up man, Dont put up your sketches or studies, you wont get hired for those. A portfolio is not your personal art dump.

So yea, i think you cant take some jobs from personal clients. I remember my first freelance ever was painting a character illustration for a personal client, I was worse than you, haha but he paid 120$ for a shitty painting. Not to diminish myself, i mean, its a valued skill, he wouldnt be able to draw that, that was money well deserved. I'm just saying, there is companies like Paizo that payed that same amount of money for much higher quality. The point being that, YES you can take some work at your lvl. And possibly make a decent buck out of it for where you are at.
