“Okay, so recently I’ve been getting both online and offline feedback from artists all around. Their problem is that they aren’t getting enough art requests and that they may end up quitting the artistic abilities earned through years of practice.
“So I’m here to shed a bit of experience and, hoặc course, seasoned Lời khuyên to those ‘Starving Artists’. Don’t worry in the least; it’s a simple procedure, but also one that requires a bit of patience. And of course, it needs your most alert attention if you’re stuck in the bum business.
“There are three important business tools- and Three important Business gatherings. Use them well!
Number one and Most Important:
DO NOT refuse any piece of work. If bạn open up a Request shack hoặc Answer topic, do not set any ground rules if bạn desperately want business. The best artist is the artist who accepts any client. So nothing of the sort: Will Not Accept Re-colors, another Artist’s reference, Paint Program hoặc mô tả references.
As an artist it is up to bạn to meet your own standards, but it’s also up to bạn to be understanding and open minded. Don’t be the narrow minded idiot claiming they need work, but then turn around and refuse the client because of these reasons. If bạn need the business, button up your pride.
WHAT TO NEGLECT: What TO Neglect, however, would be anything bạn find highly offensive, and may harm your reputation. Things such as symbols that interfere with your current religion hoặc un-necessary romance go here. It can also be racial slurs that may plant bạn in the neglection list. No one wants to hire an openly racist artist!
Now, when I mean ‘un-necessary romance’ would be in the lines of sexual themes and inappropriate Yuri and Yaoi. No, I did not CLAIM not to do Yuri and Yaoi- Yes, many are against it, but bạn may find your best Clients and come back customers are from these fields of interest. If you’re not into this and find it offensive, be KIND and courteous and politely refuse. Maybe put a bit of humor in the refusal and offer them a different artist name that bạn know of who’s thêm comfortable with this field. hoặc maybe ask if bạn could get a different request with the simple ‘I don’t think I could draw something elaborate as that!’
Be FLEXABLE and know where the wrongs and rights are. The wrongs are simple. The rights are many. Neglecting for loose reasons is bad for service and may land bạn right cái tát, đánh đập, smack in the ‘unemployed’ gutter. Above all, remember to be polite no matter how infuriated bạn are at the offence.
Number Two and also Important:
Like all business fields, a nice, positive attitude is needed. On hoặc offline- you’re attitude and outlook will sometimes affect your flow of business. If you’re some cranky troll with a good hand, yeah bạn may be good, but no one wants to be around nor hire bạn because you’re against re-colors hoặc romance. hoặc if you’re the wishy washy type who get’s all sob-storied over an art request of your yêu thích character with another that doesn’t belong to you.
The key word here is ‘Pokerface’. As used in many phrases, it means to put on a good front, hoặc in other words, fake your happy attitude. bạn requests can at times be very annoying, sad, hoặc just altogether pitiful. DO NOT discriminate nor OFFEND your client. Just grit your teeth and do it! Who knows? bạn may change this person’s perspective, hoặc even encourage them to climb different heights. That person could find bạn as an inspiration hoặc even a role model. So don’t screw things up just because bạn think the request is dumb. Remember, ‘Pokerface’!
Number Three and the least to worry about, but still imperative.
We all know how people can be total asses. Yes- bạn could be a minor artist, hoặc maybe a freshman, just starting. Let’s face it, as starters, we’re all never good. It takes years to hone your artistic talents and create your own tactics and styles. Heck, bạn may be the tiếp theo Picasso- but right now you’re a stick man scribbler! Years are gonna rob bạn blind before bạn really learn the shape pf things.
But back to the bad service. As in Number Two’s advice, the polite and mature Pokerface work’s well in this field. bạn may get returned art, complaints that this wasn’t good enough hoặc bạn got something wrong.
Okay, listen, people make mistakes. But what’s worse, bạn could draw something PERFECT, maybe even better looking than the reference given, and the client won’t be happy. Sometimes you’d even feel as if God himself couldn’t draw this picture without this person bitching.
It’s okay. No one in their right mind expects this nit picky client to be satisfied with even their own art talent. If this person is being an ass, simply refuse to work with them and politely take leave. It may hurt bạn a bit, because you’ve taken so much time and talent into that piece and this person has the gal to spit on it. But where there’s a storm, there’s a cầu vồng behind it. You’ll soon find thêm capable clients who’d appreciate your hard work and energy. Don’t be discouraged if things don’t turn out right. And always remember that there’s never such a thing as a ‘Perfect’ artists, just those with different styles. There’s thêm than a single person out there who enjoys your work. All ya gotta do is find ‘em!
Oh and there won’t be need to stab back at the person who dare insult your hard work. If the right people, thêm than likely fans, hear of any of this blasphemy, many will gladly and heatedly come to your defense. It’s a two sided deal- bạn remain the cool headed, Công chúa tóc xù artist who can take an insult cú đấm to the face without cringing, and your những người hâm mộ impress others with their fiery loyalty and awesome come backs.
With that out the way, you’re probably wondering HOW to attract customers. Oh sure, Lời khuyên how to RUN it is dandy, but how does one start?
Simple. All bạn have to do is three things.
Display- Comments- Conceitedness.
DISPLAY:
This is easy of the three steps. As an artist bạn have many emotions and thoughts to express on paper. With these thoughts from mentality to reality, bạn have the options to post the image ANYWHERE. Wither online hoặc off, should bạn display your piece, those interested will thêm than likely tìm kiếm for more.
Take any advantage point. Do small public requests, post sketches, and anything bạn feel as if it’s your best work. thêm than likely people will start sniffing around to see what else you’ve cooked up, and then eventually post a request.
COMMENTS:
một giây easiest. On Fanpop, especially- all bạn really do in this step is go around and look at other people’s artwork. Leaving các bình luận is simple but important, especially if bạn give a good few sentences on the piece to give the artist proper perspective than the usual ‘Cool!’ hoặc ‘Cute!’ items. No, those are used for the pieces that do not belong to the one who đã đăng it.
As in Darkhorn’s bài viết on perspective and building criticism, bạn don’t have to be unnecessarily cruel. But boring sentences WILL NOT give bạn attention. And therefore, bạn will not impress nor help your fellow artist and competitor.
Be kind, polite, but also a little sharp. Let them know what you’re thinking, but make sure the sharpest edges of the dao, con dao are a tad blunt. Let them know the faults, but at the same time let them know what bạn like about the piece. Constructive criticism impresses the right people, and these people will come knocking on your door, begging for a sketch from their advisor. Don’t let them down- and remember to keep in mind your own art isn’t perfect. These people are thêm than likely trying to get pay back for the things you’ve said, but as an artist with this experience, it’ll thêm than likely be as friendly as bạn were. Keep the term ‘Treat others the way you’d like to be treated’ fairly in mind!
CONCEITEDNESS:
Basically- BRAG. Don’t sit and whine how you’re no good, boast! Claim bạn know your way around a pencil hoặc mouse- stamp a hand to your chest, puff it out, and let everyone know NO ONE can draw Shadow in his sexy jeans better than bạn can in your fashion! Prance, be friendly, joke! Don’t insult yourself, chances are, no one’s in the mood for an emo artist. They want someone sure of their ability and positively glowing with happy go lucky charm. Make competition even! Claim whoever can draw a certain picture better than bạn have bragging rights.
As long as you’re respectful, bạn carry yourself as nobility. And don’t let any career puncture get bạn down. Be a chum and toss insults back with your happy jokes! After all, no one can draw like bạn can!
SLUGGISH BUSINESS TIPS:
1. If business is sluggish, try doing surprise art. Sniff around the recolor areas, hoặc scrounge up a few old pictures someone left behind and redraw them. Then hand them back to the original artist! bạn may get a nice praise, a prop, and with any luck, a new request.
2. Change your little Art Shack every week to two weeks. What I mean is, if bạn opened up a câu hỏi in the các câu trả lời topic of a Club that calls for Requests, try refreshing it every week hoặc so. This pulls an alert to those in the same Club, as bạn know, and may bring new customers. Make sure to post a danh sách of the usernames of Clients bạn served- the thêm bạn have, the thêm experience you’re boasting!
3. Continuing to display your leisure projects will tug the interest strings in people. Don’t stop displaying! Display in different các câu lạc bộ and snag thêm clients! AND DON’T FORGET YOUR COMPLIMENTS!
And for my final strip of advice, I’d suggest making the client comfortable with thêm than the normal, fru fru, traditions. Ask them if they’d prefer their request sent to them via PM- On their wall, hoặc out on public display. Ask if they’d like a small change in the character’s outfit, hoặc ask for permission to add something else to the character. This can range to another Mobian hoặc accessory. Think outside the box and of ways how to be the different artist!
And with that, I leave you.
And…Eheh…if anyone needs a Request filled, I myself would be overjoyed to be your artist!
May your voice carry the very moon in her path across Heaven!
