Oh hey there little bean, watcha doing all the way down here? - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I do the same exact thing as Rocket! Whenever I’m super stressed it always helps me to call my mom and talk things out with her and prioritize. It’s a very helpful technique, 10/10 would recommend. ❤️
You are literally blessing us this year with the video content! 😭😭😭 Thank you!
Hehehe I've been trying 🤩💖
I love watching how other professionals in other fields DO their work behind the work. FUN! Thanks.
10 months later- still a great video! That's the awesome thing about these videos you can flag them, save them, come back to them even years later and they're still great!
I love attending the university of furrylittlepeach ! Thanks sooo much for this video Sha'an, so helpful
i feel like you’re my artist big sister!! thank u for being so helpful and open with how you handle client work 💓
teehee that's so cute!!!!
and it's my pleasure!
i LOVE the picture-in-picture style so much!!! So when’s the twitch channel coming out? 😇
🤣
Sha’an!!! YOU ARE AN ANGEL!! And you are literally changing the industry. Thank you for helping open doors for so many young artists!
Uhg I loved this! I would LOVE more content like this. I was a commercial graphic designer for years and I finally stopped to pursue my own art direction rather than be “hands for hire” - watching an illustrators process is kinda same same but different and it’s really inspiring to see you do both at the same time (as in, commercial and personal work). Thanks for making dope vids homie ❤️
I got my first ever freelance client and I am using this process! Thank you so much Sha'an!!
Woah back to back! Like most I'm shook!
This is sooo informative.
Thanks for this video! Awesome job. ❤️
This is so helpful and generous of you to share!
Really enjoyed this style of video Sha'an! Thank you for letting us in on your process like this 😃
This was incredibly helpful. Can you more talk about what the first round of sketches should look like? I understand they’re not finished illustrations, but how unpolished can they be, how rough is rough? #answermepeach #please
sure, if I forget in the next studio vlog just remind me in the comments. to answer ur qs now with no visual reference:
It can depend on how familiar the client is with your work, and also the budget of the project. I privately brainstorm which is SO LOOSE, you can kind of see the different stages in the studio vlog i linked in the description of this video. Then I'll trace them loosely and build a deck for initial ideas - feel free to include moodboards/style examples if your sketches aren't clean enough, then refined would be super clear example of what things will look like (with loose render if colour is integral to the artwork).
I don't think they need to be polished, but the idea and any important elements (like composition and subject matter) should be interpretable. Otherwise there's no use in providing them. No where near finished artwork though! let me know if anything isnt clear or if u have any more questions!
This was incredibly helpful! ❤️ Thank you!
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah an other video so soon, this is so cool ! and also very, very interesting. Thank you for sharing !
Ahh this is perfect timing!! I have to do a product pitch for uni in a few days 🥳
excellent video! will be coming back to this one in the future! invaluable information and advice! thank youuuuu!
I love this video! It’s so helpful❤
What a vid! 👏 you're so generous with your knowledge 🥰
I absolutely love this kind of videos from you Shaun! Your unique way of mixing a very professional and spot on approach to your work, with a very light, funny and playful doing it's very very unique, and that's precisely the main thing why I started following you! Lots of love! 🤗🍑
This was amazing and super helpful
Love this video! Such a great explanation.
This was so helpful ! Thanks ☀️
This is fantastic. Great resource.
TWO VIDEOS IN ONE WEEK OMG 💖💖💖💖 we appreciate it!!
I’ve been really down this week, and suddenly remembered you had a new video out! Hello dopamine! Thank you so much for sharing with us! It really lifts spirits
AAAAA super happy rn since you posted another video😭❤️!! also, big thanks for taking the time to film this, twas very insightful!! never really had someone to guide me through this stuff since I don't rly have any connections to the creative industry, but your advice and videos fills in that void for me🫶❤️, much love!
This was amazing and sooooooooo helpful thank you!!! 💕💕💕
Thank you so much for sharing this with us ❤ I really enjoy wacthing your videos and following your work on instagram .
i really really love & enjoyed this video!!!! i think this has solidified what i want to do in the future in a weird way. this vid made me really happy and i would love to see more like it- thank you!
This was incredibly helpful!! Thank you! I guess the one question I have is how to do you pitch to a potential clients because this shows how you communicate in the actual project and not before.
thanks so much for sharing, Sha'an! This was really helpful
Thank you so much for this very detailed process. I appreciate the time you took to explain every step!
Hi Sha'n! Just wanted to pop in and say that after I watched your other recent video of you showing a bit of your deck process, I used Keynote to finish my brand presentation deck! I've been procrastinating for months and Keynote was so easy to use that I built my deck in one day. I'm getting ready to send it out to different licensing agents and brands. Thank you so much for sharing your process with us. 😘
Thank you so much !!! This was REALLY helpful 🧡!!!!
This video was so helpful thank you so much Sha'an!! This "being an illustrator" series is 🔥👍
Love this video - was interesting to see an artist's perspective on this. I follow almost the exact same process as a freelance copywriter, but replacing the concept sketches and colour swatches with synopses and keywords/hashtags.
While briefs are the client's way of outlining their expectations of the project, I think decks are the freelancer's/creative's way of outlining elements of the project and how/when we will deliver them.
so interestin !!!! i luv ur normal content obv, but it’s also so interesting hearing about your process n stuff :) 💗🎀💗💗🎀
This was super helpful! Thanks! I'm getting ready to query with some self illustrated picture books. I may use some of these things to help me layout my work before I send it out!! You're the best! 🥰
Love this tipe of video thanks!
Wow! SO HELPFUL 🥰😍
I like watching longer vids (TH-cam) while multitasking, so I love the bits where you’re working in real time!
You're so articulate in your videos 😊 Thank you.
Thank you!! I also love your random commentary and singing between explaining the decks LOL
I’m so happy you uploaded again! I was gonna comment to please post more often but I realized that how busy you are I shouldn’t have asked so I’m soooo happy
I used my first deck working with a client and it has been such a game-changer! They were so dazzled by it and it gave them such a good vocabulary for communicating with me. Making a deck has become a permanent part of my process for my personal and professional work. I re-watch this video every time I make a deck now to get all your tips and tricks. Thank you so much!
I will be doing a deck in the future. I had so many back and forth that were completely unnecessary. I am almost at my 1 year mark of going fulltime and I now realize that I cannot affort to waste time. THANK YOU!!!
share everythaaaanggg you have in this pretty brain of yours! really loved to know more about your process. learning a lil bit more everyday with youuu
Thank you Sha'an! I would love more videos like this and find them very helpful. I am a professional artist primarily, so I find the process of working with a client completely mysterious! I have been doing mire illustration work lately and questions on areas such as 'social amplification', copyright and promotion of the project have been a topic of interest. Thanks for touching on it - how to 'educate' clients who do not understand art and ideas, or who want you to make changes that are,'t wise is a great topic. Also, you are really good at teaching this stuff and it IS really helpful! Slow down and don't doubt it, what you're giving us is GOLD. Thank you.
You make learning and working so fun! Love your energy as always, Sha'an!
Thank you so much for this!! 😍😍😍 I can’t tell you how many time I have “wasted my time” on an idea or two that I thought the client would love but like you said, that’s not what their looking for!
My go to program is inDesign all day! But then again I’m a graphic designer not an illustrator but I really love the idea of using Keynote as well! Definitely not a dinosaur!! Word is dreadful for me 🤣🤣🤣
I'm so freaking happy neeeew videoo
I love these kinds of videos :)
Thank you for all these really informative insights on your process! Loved the format of this video!
I loved this video and found you talking through the small things super helpful. Like the reason to put Required Feedback on initial sketches but not refined ones - makes total sense, but I didn’t think of that and that’s caused me to ask for feedback at times when I really just want *approval* or *tweaks* bc we’ve already gone back and forth so many times. Definitely would love more videos like this!
thank you so much for sharing this :)
Extremely helpful video for those of us looking to level up our freelance illustration practice! Thank you. Really insightful.
2 videos in a week?!?! ooh Lala I feel so spoiled🤭 lots of love Sha’anie 💕
it was really interesting and useful thank you
I’m an interior designer and I really enjoyed this! I wish more creatives would be this transparent :)
Thank you!
i am not an artist and don't have any type of clients but i LOVED this video. watched all 37 minutes!
thank you for sharing your process, knowledge, and experience with us, sha'an!
Super late but thank you for answering my question! All of the answers were so good and so reassuring! I recently finished up on directing a large illustration project and it was v stressful. I eventually found my footing and I think and hope the illustrator felt more supported by the direction given. ✨✨✨
I love when you make videos like these, when you dive into the details, it gives me so much insight into the work. For someone trying to get into illustrating, freelance work, I'm very grateful for these kinds of videos 💝🌻
aw thank you so much for letting me know! It means a lot!
So bloody helpful! Thank you!
pleasure, treasure!
Great video! BE CONFIDENT. Stop saying you're bad. You're a blessing to many and honestly so many people can learn from the knowledge you have. Keep crushing it.
MORE PEACH! It’s like a new long weekend! Oh my god a perfect Monday morning wake up xx
hehehe
sha'an you're the BEST for this, thank you so much for making it
pleasure treasure!
this is such a cool way of doing a video
Omg 2 videos in a week???? Is this heaven?😍🥰
I’d actually be interested to hear some… nightmare client stories. :O
I haven't really had many tbh. let me think and try to rustle them up!
Thank you so helpful!!!!!
Absolutely great video Sha'an, super informative! Keep 'em coming (waaaaay better than TikTok ;-)
THIS IS SO USEFUL!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for putting this together for us to see, it's something I've been really struggling with figuring out how to do.
This is saved and I will undoubtedly come back to watch this over and over again in the future for refrence.
yay so glad you find it useful!
I'm a Masters student (not in any sort of art field) but do art as a hobby and also spend a lot of time making decks to present. I've learned a lot about colour through your videos, which has helped me in the few times in my program when I get to have more fun. ☺️ Also, even if this entire video was irrelevant to me, I still would've watched because your videos and personality online are so fun. 💛
you're too kind :')
This was such an interesting video! It was very helpful and I'm so appreciative. You gave so much good info, I'm sure I'll be watching it more than once. Thank you!
yay! So glad you found it helpful!!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO. even though i'm not a creative, I've always just been fascinated by the process. thanks for walking us through!!!
also Peranakan YAY what's your favourite food?
Thank You so much for the in-depth dive! I'd love to see a video on your whole filming/TH-cam process, how you plan it, film, edit etc!!
interesting, I do wanna make this someday. I can say now that vlogs aren't really planned it's just shooting on the go and making the story better in editing. something like this I will just plan loosely the points I'm gonna talk about. I'm not really a planner besides writing to do lists lmao!!!
I really enjoy this type of videos. You are a really honest with your process, and also really great explaining every single step. I think they can help not only new illustrators but also experienced ones. So thank you sooo much ❤️
Greatings from Colombia 💖
Yay so glad you like them. I know they aren't as universally enjoyed as the vlogs but I love making them and sharing things I know. Thanks for watching
Super insightful! Thanks for sharing Sha'an :)
pleasure!
THANK YOU MOM, this was so informative!! And for FREE? 🥺😭
Yes, the information was quite helpful thank you 😁 Thank you🙂
pleasure!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
pleasure treasure!!
A B C D E.... New Color! This was very insightful, thanks Sha'an!😊
This feels like talking to a friend about their process and I'm low key crying about it. The building a deck portion is both VERY helpful and also just so comforting? You've gained a new subscriber :)
welcome cutie ✨️ hope u like it here
This was super useful! Thanks :^)
pleasure, treasure!
nobody:
sha'an: abcde🎶
LMAO now its stuck in my head 😭 but also thank you for this video! you put out such helpful content and keep it visually appealing.
It feels so good to have contents like this. I am rebuilding myself as an artist, cos I took a really long break. So thaaank you for this, Sha'an . Very informative and useful! 🤍
A, B, C, D, E, Thank you 💕
I woke up out of a dead sleep to this notification and immediately clicked 😂😂
🤣❤
This was so lovely, but also drinking game: take a shot everytime sha'an sings that little bit from abcdefu
Thank u!!!!!
rather enjoyable video
Just wanted to start by saying love you and the work you create! This and your children book guide are some of my favourite videos because they are just so helpful for an up and coming illustrator like myself. I wanted to ask, when you get a brief with a proposed budget, do you negotiate if the budget is not around your level? Or do you propose your quote first for some clients? Pricing is always something of an intimidating area that makes me nervous. #answermepeach
YES YESS
sha'an!! no !! this was very insightful and so interesting to learn!! (and also somehow very therapeutic and calming) thank you for sharing your process
Woot woot! 🌈🌞🎉
❤🌈🐌🤩
