Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah Staying Awake

[Fedodika]

Hmm i wish i could tell you! It's really hard to get established as a freelancer, but maybe i just think that because i don't market my art much.

However, if you do get desperate, i've done this and it really works.

This guy gives sage advice on how street caricature is a great way to make quick money. The trick is to not charge people for them, so they'll sit down and get one from you, then if you do a good job they'll tip you. Last year when i was much worse than I am now, i actually was able to make about 15$ an hour doing caricatures at a fair. Some people don't pay, some people give you 10$ some give you 1$, some 20$. It all really depends how well you treat them and the impression you make, more than the technical side of the drawing.

1000$ a month is really doable if you're just brave enough to go out in public and do caricatures, but I'm not sure if you're up to it. I mean you can draw figures, so it's not insanely different from what you do already

But yea as far as freelance, i really don't have a clue (as i haven't had much luck,) i mean, fanart is a good way to get attention... Getting the one click llama badge on deviantart is a good way to get lots of interaction, takes a bit of legwork though. I'm sure other people on here could give you better advice on freelancing, but caricature is definitely something that works and i'm sure you can do them
