    Lol me too. When I add several details in an illustration, I feel like "this is weird". But, in the end, I just add it, and it looks cool.

    Salut, îmi plac foarte tare ilustrațiile tale si canalul de TH-cam. Eu deasemenea am inceput un canal despre ilustrații și imi ești o inspirație enormă. Am unele intrebări: Cum aș putea îmbunătați contentul meu? Cum aș putea găsi ceva proiecte de freelance? Ceva sfaturi de îmbunătățire pentru ilustrațiile mele? Apropo, sunt la fel din Timișoara. Mersi anticipat.

    • @CosminSerbanDesign
      @CosminSerbanDesign  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey, I'll answer in English as it might be helpful for others. Great job on your videos, keep in mind that for the first 10 videos I was getting 20-50 views, only after 6 months I started seeing any good growth, so my recommandation is to create videos every week without being influenced by the number of views or how other youtubers are doing.
      If you want to find freelance projects try to get in touch with agencies and if you have an amazing portfolio than they will probably have some work for you, create a network on linkedin etc. - if you're in a hurry, but don't have a strong portfolio, go in your community and create illustrations for local businesses or friends for free.
      Your illustrations look great, what matters is what you think about them :)
      Keep going, as I'm sure that your work will inspire other designers as well.
      For more tips check out Pierre Kleinhouse on youtube, he has a lot of tips on how to start working as an illustrator. O zi faina!
