Every graphic designer who wants to make his life better should have lunch with a good anime. Great video, fellow graphic designer, I especially like your illustration of the character Roronoa Zoro from One Piece. BIG HUG, keep living life with style.

Dope man, love this!! I can picture myself doing similar. I'm trying to be more creative. I really wanna try digital drawing on an ipad looks great for designs and artwork. Your videos help!

Absolutely! you can definitely do it man. I love drawing digitally but learning traditionally first was important to my process. I still love sketching and painting on paper...but Digital painting has come a long way, and the Ipad is a great tool. I will be sharing full files of art in my Patreon if you ever become interested. :)

what is your main source of income bro? you got that huge tablet for illustrating and you got your own place and seem to have lots of time to yourself but you don’t have tons of work or any client work that i can see on IG so i’m assuming you have another main source of income?

@metalbunnie7

7 ай бұрын

You don't post all of the work you make on your portfolio. Your portfolio is something that represents you and works to your benefit to brand yourself and attract the kind of work YOU want to make that hopefully resonates with potential clients. You include your best work, the stuff that represents your style, etc. which doesn't necessarily have to be client work. You also keep it at minimum, too many pieces become overwhelming and repetitive. The Instagram portfolio, the clothing brand, and even this very video are part of branding himself and his skills. It's all work, which leads to clients/income.

@DavonMcMillian

​@@metalbunnie7 This is very true and very well stated! :) Your portfolio is incredibly personal, and if a client wishes to see more specific examples of work, I always oblige...but of course, I want to attract the type of work I enjoy most, even if it at times, isn't the most sought-after 😭lol
