#retroshark

So as I said I am going to keep everyone updated as much as possible on my freelancing journey. I am officially one week into freelancing and i have to say it is going very good! 

I have gotten two commissions so far (both of which are for logo designs). I am still in the process of working on both so I can’t speak for the completion and payment process, but hopefully in the next few days I will have more to say on that!

I also am making sure to set aside a set amount of time everyday to work on other things, most of which is seeming to be iOS UI design and some web design. I am doing this because it is helping me from getting burnt out working on one thing. It also is helping me expand my knowledge and learn in the process.

I have now reached the point were I am working with a few clients on some commissions and I am very excited to update you all soon on how my first few go!

I am currently hard at work on some logo designs and my plan is the tell you about my first experiences freelancing. I also am hoping that I can get some feedback as to how I did from my clients to relay to you guys in hopes that it will help you as well.

It's been less than 24 hours since I launched myself into freelance. I wanted to come on and write down some of the things I have learned from everyone in the community helping me out as well as what I have read online.

Firstly do not sell yourself short! So many of you said I made my prices to low. Make your prices fair, but remember you still want to making a good profit on your art. Second, the first few weeks can be slow and don't let it be misleading for you. Take this time to practice and increase your skills. Keep making awesome art! You want to make people say "damn" when they see your work.
