Your channel is one of the most invaluable resources for freelance artists on the platform, and this series truly takes the cake! Thank you for all you do. Can't wait for the rest.
Thank you so much for going over this. It is hard to start as an artist and these are the things that are usually forgotten and the artist is left struggling and making huge errors. It is true that you learn from your mistakes but you also learn if you don't make mistakes and a mistake like this can lose you so much more.
Thanks so much, Shelleyanne! So true. Better not to make those costly mistakes if possible. Hopefully this'll save a few bumps and bruises for folks just starting out.
Thank you Kendyll for doing this series. It can be so overwhelming looking for info on this stuff and its great to be able to learn from someone who is currently working as a freelancer.
Thank you so much!! This was very helpful and super informative!!☺️ I have just been asked to illustrate an entire children’s book for a small company and had no idea where to start with a proposal (this will be my first super extensive project)! About to watch your video on pricing!!
Thank you for creating this series, really great information! I dont see any one else making videos like this for other artists- awesome job and beautiful artwork!
Once again, great video Kendyll! I might personally never put the knowledge I gain here in use, but I am always excited to listen to you. Thank you for your openness. :)
Kendyll! This was incredibly helpful and comprehensive! I appreciate your thoroughness and professionalism. You are such a great resource, keep up the great work! (PS I just saw that you now have 20k subscribers yay! Congrats!)
All your videos and skillshare classes are do informative and helpful! I have a questions: how to you present the timeline? Do you make a gannt chart or infographic?
I love your videos! I really appreciate how informative they are. Thank you for sharing. I just have a question, I was wondering whether you create your contracts yourself, hire a lawyer, or if the clients send their on contracts to you? Thank you! :)
Oh my, so concentrated! Please don't forget to breathe while talking, we won't go anywhere if you speak at a more relaxed pace :) Looking forward to seeing the next videos of the series! Keep rockin'
Thank you so much for this video! Really needed this information! Looking forward to the next! 🌹 This might be a stupid question...but how do you make your low-res jpg before you send the final? Do you scan it in low-res and send it off without editing? Or do you make a picture and send it off as a jpg?
So glad to hear it! Thank you, Lidewij! I'm going to save your Q if that's ok, and answer in a video at the end of this series. I think others would want to know too!
Hi Kendyll! Thank you for this video! I have some questions about proposals and contracts. Lately, I discussed with other illustrators (experienced illustrators!) and some of them work with no contracts, especially in editorial illustration. Some illustrators only give invoices (I understood that the magazines give the proposals). They said that the invoice is «like a contract» in editorial illustration. I was a bit shocked to learn that. Now I'm very confused with proposals/contracts/invoices. What do I have to give to the clients? Are proposals and contracts the same thing? I think not, but it's really not clear to me what are the differences between proposals and contracts... In which type of projects would I send a proposal and a contract? Would I need to send both ? I live in the province of Quebec in Canada and I know that the illustration market is really not the same here in comparison with the USA and the english provinces of Canada (sadly, especially with pricing...). I would like to know your view about this? Thanks a lot Kendyll! Have a nice day!
Hi Josianne! Thanks so much for watching and for the great question. I ended up tackling it in a vlog that was just posted today. Hope I answered it ok! th-cam.com/video/0WDF4hpN7LY/w-d-xo.html
Yay !!! Thank you very much Kendyll for answering my questions (And hi to Penelope ;-) !!). Your answer helps me a lot, it's now much clearer for me! Wish you a nice day!

Does editorial work often get published before the invoice gets paid?
Going to answer this when I go live at 11:30am ET today!
