Social Media Artist to Comic Artist Rhythm map
As buying a color printer in still in my Large Projects, I recreated your beautiful Project Ideas sheet by hand to make it colorful ^^
I am currently a social media artist and all my income comes from commissions, but I would like to move towards creating and selling my own stuff and creating a comics. Therefore my most important goals will be designing things to sell on my social media pages and 3rd party sites to provide passive income while I'm preparing and launching the comics. YouTube videos will serve promotional purposes and will also give me a room for enjoying traditional art. I really enjoy watching sketchbook tours and would like to do one - I have finished a sketchbook recently. Not sure if such YouTube activities as sketchbook tours and product reviews will be able to become another source of income in the long run, but I'll try it anyway.
In this project sheet I tried to establish the connection between the projects of different sizes. Like small daily inktober drawings that become a medium project when the challenge is done and artbook/postcards afterwards as the large projects. Doing lots of studies and character sketches will help me to practice for the comics, and I will be able to do a YouTube video with the sketchbook afterwards. Also sketches and sketchbook spreads make good smaller projects like Instagram and VK (Vkontakte, cause I'm based in Russia) posts.
My main Medium Projects are still commissions so far, but these steps should prepare me for doing my own stuff finally.
Thank you so much for this class!
