Pnate's Almost Daily Sketchbook

meat - Thank you sirrr, always trying to up the metal game

TonariNoPunpun - Thanks Tonari :) Trying my best to keep it up!

nymph0 - Thanks Nymphooo

RickRichards - I appreciate the kind words Rick! I usually use two different approaches depending on the job/how I feel. The first is just what you describe, going at it soft and defining it as I go along with hard edges. The other is more "procedural" which is what most others do: lineart, block in by layers, then paint on those layers through clipping masks, then try to cover some of the "neatness" by adding imperfections and stuff (although I tend to make things way too sharp).
I do get some work at the moment, mostly characters and concepts for smaller companies. It depends on what type of work you're looking for in terms of stability. For freelance fantasy illustration, I will be honest, it's definitely not enough to make a living at this point for me, probably at about minimum wage or less. However, if you hustle and shoot for a position in a studio or something, you would make a pretty decent wage. For me, I am (probably stupidly) enjoying my time just freelancing with whatever comes my way, and just trying to improve with my time. Let me know if there's anything else I can answer for you, best of luck!


Ahh been so long since I updated this. Anyway, a bunch of stuff since the last post:
