Web 2 Digital Artist Freelancing 101

Freelancing as a digital artist is often misunderstood. Many beginners believe that strong artistic skill alone is enough to succeed. In reality, freelancing operates as a business—one that requires clarity, structure, and long-term thinking.

This book is written for digital artists who want to understand freelancing as it actually works, not as it is often presented online.

Rather than focusing purely on drawing techniques, this guide covers the foundational principles of freelance work: mindset, positioning, portfolios, client communication, pricing, and professional sustainability. It is designed to help beginners move from uncertainty to informed action, with realistic expectations and practical guidance.
