The pain is too much, but thank you for treating to my wounds. Now, it is my turn to close my eyes and drift off to rest.

 I wish to give you comfort in saying I will know when I will awake, but alas.. I do not know. For now, I ask for peace and comfort as my body regains it’s strength. 

Please, do not worry. I am not worth your tears.

✤ FREELANCING MASTERPOST ✤

Freelancing has never been easy, and there is always a lot to ponder about it. At the end of the day, what matters is also to never give up and to push your abilities every day. Putting in the mileage is (hopefully) made easier with this master post that I gathered. It contains lots of topics which are not technical per say, because art is not only technicalities but also a lot of thinking and planning ahead. As I’m a freelancer myself, I also added essential tips for both Illustrators and Concept artists. (This post assumes you use at least Photoshop)
