I wanted to become a freelancer artist but I'm not confident on my drawings

[sm_yesa]

Hey guys, I just started getting really into art and learning them, and realized I want to live with it, I feel so alive writing and drawing and hopefully earn my life through art but I'm not confident about my skills if it is enough, here's my recent works.
Do you think there is anyone who would commission me with this art despite having a mass image of these things online?

Oh, an artist able to exemplify the pinnacle of culture. A holy artist like thou shall truly find thy home here. Well, personal opinion. Don't take my words for granted, lest I indulge... in thy suffering.

 

[SailusGebel]

Yes people will commission you, though probably won't pay as much. However, if you keep improving, people would be willing to pay more.

Could use tidying up a bit but they seem pretty decent. You could try selling half done pics to other artists, inventing characters and stuff. Or look at feeding them to an AI for a company. At least until you feel you are good enough to go solo.

But you may never feel you are "good enough" so maybe just do it, it will come with practice. Don't forget you also need to practice selling them, you can't just start making amazing art and expect to be good at marketing them. Establishing a fan base, and business contacts is all part of it I would assume.

Improve your drawing.
Improve your lineart.
Improve your composition.

And please dont just directly color your sketches into final artwork. At least do final smoothed outline layer on top of current sketch so that the lines would be smoother.

Burn some of your money to find tools that improve your drawing quality and mentor/tutor that could give direct advice to improve your drawing skill.

Especially anatomy and composition. Youve got good lightning, but its not bad to learn more.

If you can keep drawing aimlessly for hours to improve your skill, you might get burnout bceasue you finally lost your sight and goal.

Plus, as youre going to continue drawing as career, you wont feel "the fun" out of it anymore.

Hair is good. So are eyes and lips. The general body shape is good and the shading is the best. You just need to treat your drawings like authors treat their books. Consider your finished drawings as the first draft and keep working on them.

My advice.. do 3d animation.. and make these models then animate.. every furry artist is going to be stalking your emails like me..

They never rest.. never sleep.. I'm scared..

In all honesty I can't recommend contractor/commission art as a job. It's a very saturated market, which means there is only three ways to make money. Be really good, be really fast, be very niche (porn) . Ideally you want to be able to fit into two categories or more if you want to make decent money.

I've done commissions before, and know several people who make a living off of art commissions. All of them are porn artists. I can't really recommend it, its can be detrimental to health. While it hasn't happened to any of my friends, people they know have permanently damaged their wrists from overwork.

To answer the actual question. I do think you can get commissions and make money and I also think you will get better as you continue drawing. But I can't recommend it as a job. Look at it as way to subsidies a hobby. Pursuing art as a career is a path paved on misery that has a good chance to destroy your passion along the way.

Hard to give advice. All these guys look alike.

 

[TotallyHuman]

I don't know the market, but I doubt you can make much at this stage tbh. Maybe look into doujins and stuff instead of single pictures and if your story telling is good, more people will be willing to sponsor?

 

[Aleth08]

If I had money to give, I would certainly commission you for my book cover, but alas, I dont...

 

[georgelee5786]

I think you should become a freelance, your art is good enough

 

[Succubiome]

I dunno, I'd say...

Figure out your boundaries and pace yourself if you decide to do commission work, but like... worst case scenario, it doesn't work?

Use a pseudonym, doubly so if you're going to draw lewd stuff. Don't connect it to your RL accounts.

Upload your stuff to one of the free sites where people can read it (I'm not expert enough at the art scene to say which one), make a commission sheet (look how other people do this and emulate it, probably), and keep uploading stuff when you make it, and see if anyone commissions you. As long as you keep to a single site, it's not going to be that onerous, probably.

Figure out what you're comfortable or not with drawing, and stick to your guns. Don't take more work than you can do.

You might wanna get a bit better at hands specifically-- I know they're hard, and I've seen worse, but I think they're one of the main things people look for to make sure things aren't AI art these days.

I would like #2 to apply her bottom to my face.

Thanks.

Id say create your commission page on your platform of choice and put examples of your work. Make sure ppl know what they are ordering before they do. Can't complain about it if they saw examples and still wanted your drawings.

Cheers and keep up!

Not for single characters, but I'm generally looking for illustrations with multiple characters in specific poses, and AI can't do that to my satisfaction yet.

The kind of artist you need is unlikely to be here, Madam MILF.
