ART/VIDEOS – Becoming a Professional Artist Part 3: The importance of Networking

• How did you acquire your network of people to rely on? (School, work, other interesting circumstances?)
• What kind of people do they consist of? Are they all artists? Do you have people in other areas? Businessmen/women, people in marketing, IT for example?
• How did you make yourself known? What did it take to get your name out? (social media sites, art sights such as Deviant Art, other ways?)
• How has your network helped your artistic career? (Both people and promotional)

These are the questions I’ll be addressing this time around in this video.  The visuals you will see it of me adding in the blacks on page 8 of a Black Terror Kid comic.

If you’re new to these videos, an art student recently contacted me and asked me these questions about becoming a professional.  I recorded my answers on my iPhone and sent them to him.  Then I realized other people might benefit from listening to my responses.

I’ve decided to make videos from the recordings. I hope you find my answers helpful:
