Yes! Freelancing is the easiest + fastest + best way to start working as a fashion illustrator.

It is perfect for you if you want to:

• Change your career path, and can’t wait to start working as a fashion illustrator.
• Dip your toe in what’s like to be a fashion illustrator and manage a business.
• And even if you’re afraid of leaving your job and the security it gives you for something unknown (but extremely exciting + meaningful + fulfilling!).

If you’ve been following me for a while, then you know how I started working in fashion, and you also know I’m all into freelancing (especially if you’re in my free email course Become a Profitable Fashion Illustrator).

But, in just in case you’re new here, here’s a summary…

I was in college (studying industrial design), and I was SO SUPER eager to work in fashion. I wanted to spend my days designing and illustrating, and creating fashion products. Really, I couldn’t wait any longer, so I started designing and creating my own handbags. It was my very first fashion business; it started small selling to my friends, and then to the friends of my friends. Then, I stumbled into a big and huge wall: the time and money I was investing in my handbags business weren’t returning as much as I needed to make it survive.

So, I started searching for a new way to make money doing something that I ENJOYED, to help me grow my handbags business.

That’s when I found out about freelancing. The first ever time I realized I could illustrate fashion from my home, in my spare time, and be paid whatever I wanted I fell in LOVE. I saw a small announcement on a marketplace platform, and I couldn’t believe it! During the whole week, I returned to that website only to read that announcement over and over again.

I was stoked, happy, and ultra motivated. And, after a little research about what I needed to sell my services as a fashion designer and illustrator, I implemented all that, and I set up my profile and little portfolio. Then, my fashion freelance business began right there.

In the beginning, I just wanted money to keep designing and making my bags, but over time my new business was growing, evolving, and taking me to places I never thought before. It became something I LOVED and CHERISHED, then something I kind of hated, and then again something I truly LOVE and ENJOY 😁

In my latest post I talked about how to become a fashion illustrator, (a profitable fashion illustrator!), and today I want to tell you about the easiest + fastest + best way to start doing what you love and getting paid for it: which is selling your services, aka freelancing.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WONDERING, WHAT’S FREELANCING?

Generally, freelancing is offering and selling your services to people or businesses that need them. You can work from wherever you want (from your home, traveling, or from your fave coffee shop). You set your prices, you set the rules, and you work on your own schedule. You’re not considered as an employee, so you don’t get the benefits of working full time in a company, but you get lots of more great benefits.

As I see it, freelancing is the freedom to work with people and projects you love, doing what you enjoy, and doing it in your own terms. It is being your own boss, and more importantly, it is being in charge of your life.

But, why is FREELANCING the easiest + fastest + best way to start working as a fashion illustrator?

I landed my first ever project after less than a month of publishing my small portfolio and reaching to prospective clients. This first project was designing and taking care of the sample production of a footwear collection that was presented in a show in Milan. In my proposal I included pics of a pair of shoes that I designed in school and their patterns, I mentioned the design process, the production process, and how we could work together.

Although I created fashion illustrations for the shoes I designed during that project, the whole project was mainly about design. Yet, my first project in fashion illustration arrived a couple of weeks after that.

I want to emphasize that I had no testimonials, I had no recommendations, I had no referrals, I knew no one, and no one knew me. I just had a tiny portfolio and lots of passion + enthusiasm. And I got my first paid fashion freelance project, one that I truly loved and enjoyed, one that opened up a lot and huge learning + growth opportunities, and one that allowed me to work on my own terms.

So, becoming a freelance fashion illustrator is the easiest + fastest + best way to start making a living from your talent because:

1 | You don’t need a big investment in time and money

This is the most frequent concern among my students + mentees that want to start making a living as fashion illustrators:

• How much money will I have to invest before I start earning?
• How much time do I need to put in to be successful?
• What if I don’t have a lot of money?
• And what if my time is sort of limited?

Well, you can start very small. The family’s laptop + scanner, my fashion illustration tools (paper, watercolors, pencils…), and an internet connection was everything I needed at the beginning. And now on some projects, that’s all I need.

But, let’s break down what you need:

• Website + Portfolio. If you use Squarespace, you can have a beautiful website + portfolio + blog for $12 per month, and if you opt for WordPress you’ll invest less than that.
• Social Media Accounts like Instagram + Pinterest + Facebook + Twitter. They’re FREE.
  Tools + Materials. You can start with whatever you have already, and buy more stuff as over the time. But, watercolors start at $20 per set of 24 pieces, paper is around $15 per block, and you can get a set of brushes from $10 in Amazon.
• Laptop + Scanner. Use what you already have, you don’t need the latest Mac, nor the best scanner in the world. I use my laptop to enhance the color and brightness of my illustrations with Photoshop, and I also use my laptop to communicate with clients. You’ll also need it to promote and market your work online. If you don’t have a scanner you can go to a photocopy center, and they’ll scan your illustrations for less than one buck.
• Internet + Electricity. You already pay for them, so it won’t be an extra expense.

See? You don’t need extravagant amounts of money to get started, and you definitely don’t need endless hours to begin working as a fashion illustrator.

You need to set aside some time to set up your website and create your portfolio. And if you have 12-15 free hours per week, you can use them to create one or two fashion illustrations, create content for your marketing efforts (one blog post + social media for the week), and start building your audience. That’s all you need to start getting the ball rolling, you can begin growing from there, and once you feel secure to leave your job, then you can do it – if you want.

It took me a month to land my first project (and it gave me $5,500). Everything – my portfolio and my profile page – was very basic; I didn’t even have a website (although it’s a must, I didn’t know I could have one 😛 ).

The time and the money you invest in freelancing as a fashion illustrator is a tiny fraction compared to the time and money you have to spend to create a product based business. For the latter, the money investment is above the five figures, and the time you need to set up, launch, and start making money is at least ten months.

How long or how easy is it to get a regular job? I don’t know, I’ve never worked full-time in fashion – and I never will! That’s really not my thing, but I’m sure it’s more difficult and restrictive than becoming a freelance fashion illustrator.

If you’re serious about becoming a fashion illustrator, and if you want to start freelancing ask yourself:

• How many hours per day or week can I set aside to devote to my fashion illustration business?
• How many dollars per week can I set aside to make my fashion illustration business grow?

2 | You can do it anywhere

Yes, this is for REAL!

When I started working as a freelancer, I did the work on my home’s dinner table, at school between classes, at my boyfriend’s house, and at the coffee shop.

And over the years, I’ve been able to work from home, from my studio, from the beach, from the hotel pool, from Starbucks, from whenever I’ve wanted.

Seriously, you can work from wherever you are, and from wherever you want. It also applies to the city or place you live. You don’t have to wait until you move to New York or Milan, you can start working from wherever you are now.

Once, I had to send some quick drafts when I was on vacation at Los Cabos, Mexico. I drafted them watching the sea, and when I arrived at the hotel, I took some pics, and sent them. – I don’t recommend working on your vacations; that’s sacred time, but I care so much about my client’s and their needs (ok, maybe I’m a bit workaholic too), and that was super easy to do 😉

Ask yourself:

• From where would you like to work?
• Do you want to work while you travel, or would you rather work from home?

3 | You can do it according to your schedule

We covered a little of this on point number one, but I think it’s quite important to clarify that you can work as a freelance fashion illustrator according to the schedule you already have. A lot of people wait months and even years thinking they’ll have more time later, ‘maybe next week, or maybe next month’, but that time never comes.

And if you really want to make a change in your life and work as a fashion illustrator, I’m sure you can make it happen because you can use your free time or free up time to do the work you have to do.

Once I began my first freelance project I couldn’t stop, more clients started to come, and I was still in school. I had to make time for school, for homework, for family, for my lovely boyfriend, and for my own rest.

A regular full-time job could have never EVER ever fitted into my busy schedule at that time.

Now I take the amount of clients that gives me the time + money freedom I want. I work the hours I want to work during the week, and I take care of other things (and persons!) I love.

If I want to take the day off and go to the lake, I can. If I want to visit family and spend the weekend or more days with them, I can. If I want to take a whole week on the beach, I can. If there’s a special occasion I don’t want to miss, I can go. And if I feel tired or sick, I can slow down and adjust my schedule.

There’s SO MUCH FREEDOM!

Ask yourself:

• What things are important to you that you wish you were able to do but you can’t with a full-time job?
• What things are important to you that you want to keep doing even when you work as a fashion illustrator?

4 | You can start with the skills you already have

A lot of people wait until they learn how to create illustrations with watercolors, and acrylics, and oils, and markers, and digital mediums, and, and, and….

That’s only another way to procrastinate your dreams.

If your skills are already strong in one art medium (watercolors, markers, digital, or whatever), and if you already see signs of what could be your style, then you’re ready to go.

You can start marketing and on the skills you already have.

Of course, you can still learn, explore, and master other things, but you don’t have to wait until you do it to start working as a fashion illustrator.

Ask yourself:

• What are the fashion illustration skills that I already have?
• Do I feel confident about them, would I feel comfortable offering them?
• Is my style as fashion illustrator starting to show up?

5 | You can start with basic tools

I already mentioned the tools I used on my projects, which are:

• Laptop
• Scanner
• Tools and materials to create my fashion illustrations
• Photoshop
• Internet connection (to send the files, and communicate with clients).

Now you could tell me ‘but Karen, I don’t have a laptop or Photoshop is too expensive.‘ But, the first laptop I used was my dad’s (well he bought it, but everyone in the house used it 😛 ), I couldn’t use the desktop because it really was too old and super S-L-O-W. And when I couldn’t use my family’s laptop I borrowed one in my school’s library.

Photoshop too expensive? At that time, I acquired a license with the first payment of my freelance project. Now, affordable plans are starting at $10. When you think about the bigger (so MUCH bigger) returns you’re going to get, money excuses begin to vanish away.

No internet connection? You don’t have to be all day all the time on the web. You need it to communicate with your clients and send them results, besides, when you want a thriving and sustainable business, you don’t want to be a slave of your inbox.

I know things sometimes are more difficult to some persons than others, but if you want to do what you love on your own terms, then it’s your job to figure things out. You are the one in charge of your life, and you can make things easier + faster + better to yourself 😉

Ask yourself:

• What tools + things do you already have that you can use in your fashion illustration business?
• What tools + things would you need to buy?
• Can you start with what you already have?

6 | You create + do only the things you want

If you build and launch your fashion illustration business, you can create your own offerings. You don’t have to work doing something you don’t like, or something you don’t feel experienced or comfortable enough.

Do you prefer editorial illustrations over commercial?

Do you want your illustrations to be part of fashion products, clothing, wall art, packaging, branding?

What kind of products do you want to illustrate? Kidswear, Womenswear, Menswear, Accessories?

What illustration techniques do you enjoy the most? Watercolors, markers, color pencils?

You set your rules, and you offer what you want, so you enjoy your whole journey.

7 | You create your own process

You don’t have to follow anyone’s style or process.

You can create, and tweak, and improve your own creative process and style. And also the process you follow to work with clients and delight them, is all up to you.

As you learn new things you can implement them into your process, the more experience you get, the more unique your process will be. And the more unique your style + process are, the more you stand out.

8 | You can charge what you want

Yes! You charge what you want!

Sometimes, particularly in the beginning, you’ll have to negotiate, but I believe that if you want a thriving, successful, and authentic business, you have to stick to your pricing and never undervalue your work.

So, you don’t have to be limited to a salary; it is sad to have dreams and attach those dreams + goals to the amount of money we can spend every month. When you have a freelance business, you are in charge of how much you want to earn and the hours you want to work.

Isn’t it beautiful?

Ask yourself:

• How much do you want to earn per month, per week, or per illustration?
• How much do you want to earn per day, or per week?

9 | You can work with as many clients as you want – or can handle

Do you want to work in multiple tiny projects at the same time? Or do you prefer only one large project?

Yes, that’s also up to you! Can you see now how the freedom + flexibility + the joy a freelance business can give you?

When I started my business, I used to say ‘the more, the better.’ But, over the time I realized that I rather have quality clients and projects over a large quantity of them. Maybe you think like me, or maybe don’t, but you are the one who sets the rules.

10 | Clients want to work with you because of your style and talent

In many full-time jobs you get hired according to your salary rate, but if you establish yourself as an experienced fashion illustration with a distinct style, and show off your talents, you’ll start attracting raving clients instead of chasing nightmare clients.

This is huge! If you can work on your own schedule, charging what you want, doing what you love, and on top of that you work with delightful + loving clients, then you are in heaven! (me singing with a heavenly voice, haha!)

BUILDING A FREELANCE BUSINESS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE THOUGH

Yes, there’s a disclaimer here.

Despite all the amazing reasons why freelancing is the easiest + fastest + best way to start making money as a fashion illustrator, you have to work hard, you have to be consistent and persistent, you have to hustle, you have to deliver, and you have to delight.

This is not for people that give up easily, not for people that conform with little, even less for people that want overnight success.

Freelancing as a fashion illustrator is for passionate people that want to do what they love on their own terms, but also that want to pour their heart and soul into what they do.

This is for people who want to grow and evolve along the way and help others to grow and evolve with them. This is for hardworking people that are willing to give their best every time, every day, in every project.

To Finish…

My hope for this post is that you can see the awesome benefits + possibilities you have when you decide to become a freelance fashion illustrator. And I hope this post serves + encourages + inspires you to create your thriving fashion illustration business!

One more thing, before I go.

Starting your own profitable business as a fashion illustrator is fantastic because:

1 | Creating fashion illustrations is one of the most fun + fulfilling work you’ll ever do.

You get the best of both worlds: fashion + illustration. You can get the creative freedom you crave, you can create the illustrations according to your point of view, to how you experience fashion + life, and you can create them in your own authentic style.

It feels amazing to have an idea in your head and turn it into something you can see in real life. It’s so fulfilling when your clients LOVE what you create. And it gets even better when you see that little thing you created it’s being admired + loved + purchased by someone else.

You can create fashion illustrations for your favorite brands, magazines, and people. It’s just FANTASTIC!

2 | Building your own business means you can live your life on your own terms

You can set your own schedule, you can take time off whenever you want, and you can go on a long vacation every time you want.

You set your prices, and you decide the amount of money you earn. You don’t have to settle. And you choose how many hours per day you work.

You have the FREEDOM to do what you love and create the inspired + happy life that you dream of.

3 | As a fashion illustrator, the possibilities you have to create are endless

As a freelancer, you can create your fashion illustrations to be featured in products like accessories, clothing, stationery collections, fabrics, decor, phone cases, wall art, and more. You can create custom illustrations for branding, packaging, and even portraits of people who are in love with your style. And your illustrations can be part of books, coloring books, and appear in your favorite magazines.

Of course, no one said it was easy. Actually, I always say: becoming a fashion illustrator, and making money out of your creations is not easy, but it’s not just for the lucky either.

It’s for passionate + talented + hard-working people – like you 😊

If you’re like most of my students, you may be super worried about things like:

 

What if I’m not good enough? What if I’m not ready?

Good enough and ready for what? For doing what you love for a living? For living your dreams?

We’re all good enough + ready for that.

But waiting to feel good enough or ready to start your business is just a waste of time.

Being good enough or ready is just an illusion that gets you off track keeping you focused on something that deceptively gives you security – for many people being good enough + ready = success, but that’s not necessarily true.

I believe we’re all a work in progress. I think we’re always growing + evolving + improving, and so does our work. Every new project, every new experiment, and every new illustration give something special to our experience + skills + style.

Even I, after eight years of being a fashion illustrator, just discovered something that would change my style – making it more me. If I’d waited this long, I would’ve missed a lot of knowledge + projects + experiences, I would’ve missed everything, and maybe I wouldn’t have been happy with my style as I am now.

This ‘what if I’m not good enough or ready’ question is tricky because we’re all in the making, but you got to differentiate between feeling scared of the unknown, and actually not being ready.

See, you may not feel ready or good enough ever, but I believe that you must start before being ready or good enough because the best things are learned along the way when you experience them. And you’d be holding yourself back if you wait for the illusion of feeling secure.

So, just in case you want to differentiate fear and not being ready.

When you’re ready…

Your skills are strong. When you create a fashion illustration, you do it with ease. Of course, perfectionism + comparison try to creep in, but overall you know what you’re doing and you like it. Besides, people can’t stop noticing how good you are, and they keep telling you how much they love your work.

And your style is rising. Even if you don’t have it super clear yet, when you put your latest work in front of you, you can notice some similarities and cohesiveness.

Again, there’s no such thing as ‘being good enough’. If you have a calling, if you feel it in your heart that you’re meant to be a fashion illustrator, then it’s your job to make it true, nurture your skills, discover your authentic style, and show up 100% for each new client + project you get.

It’s your job to be the best fashion illustrator you can be right now, and commit to doing your very best every time.

And, it’s okay feeling fearful and doubtful, and it doesn’t mean you’re not ready or good enough – actually, you’re more ready + good enough than what you allow yourself to admit 😉

 

What if no one wants to work with me?

Fashion is a diverse industry, there are products and styles for everyone, and I mean it when I tell you that there are people for your fashion illustrations. I KNOW it because I’ve seen it.

There’s no style too simple, too realistic, too happy, too melancholic, or too whatever.

People is looking for what you have to offer, and there’s still room for you.

Think if this is an irrealistic fear or if it’s rooted in facts.

A question that makes my students + mentees laugh (out loud) and vanish this fear is this:

Really, are you that bad that even your mom wouldn’t buy an illustration for one buck?

I know it’s a silly question, but most of our fears are silly too, and the best way to disarm them is realizing how dumb they are 😊

Stop freaking out about if people will want to work with you. And start focusing on how you can improve as a fashion illustrator, showing up in front of the people who are your ideal clients, and serve them well.

 

Where should I start? What do I need to set up before starting?

As I describe in a lengthy lesson of my free email course, the 3 pillars to become a profitable fashion illustrator are:

• Skills
• Style
• Showing Up

Your skills should be strong. Your style should be authentic. And you must show up and share who you are and what you do.

Also, on my free email course, I share with you along two lessons the step-by-step you must follow. If you want all the nitty-gritty, I recommend you to go and sign up here; it’s free. But, in summary, this is what you have to do:

1. Embrace yourself to stand out, and determine what kind of offerings you want to sell
2. Know who is your dream client, and what they need + want
3. Create offerings your dream clients and you LOVE
4. Have a website + branding
5. Build an effective portfolio
6. Create a content + marketing strategy that attracts and catches your dream clients
7. Delight your clients, so they keep coming back

 

How will I attract clients, and how will I book them?

This is the most frequent question among my students + mentees who want to start working as fashion illustrators. And the truth is, you can get a large stream of clients through a bunch of different and powerful ways like content marketing, referrals, word of mouth, networking, collaborations, social media – and more.

The key is in the third pillar of becoming a profitable fashion illustrator: you have to show up.

It’s not as difficult as you may think. And as soon as you get the ball rolling, clients will start finding you.

What if I mess it up so bad that I have no way to support myself?

Well, I messed it up so bad that I had no way to support myself. I was so determined to make my clients happy no matter what that I invested all my time + money in the project of one of them.

I was so obstinate that I made my boyfriend invest his savings too – savings for our wedding, our new home, and our new life together.

That was a huge mistake, the client ran away, I got in debt, and I lost it all: the money, my faith in people, my dreams (all but my boy, we’re now happy + married 😍)

It was the worst case scenario I could’ve ever imagined. For months, I cried all night, and during the day I was like a zombie – I couldn’t believe someone could take advantage of my good will, my passion, and my love for her project. Heck, I was helping this client not only giving my all with my work but also financially so she could get her samples on time.

For sure, I wanted to give up, I wanted to get a regular job and forget everything about entrepreneurship + being my own boss + building the life of my dreams.

And I couldn’t look at Allan (my hubby) in the eye; he was as devastated as I was – we were getting married in three months, and I screwed it all up. But, as always, he supported me with love + grace, and he told me something I’ll never forget:

Now we can tell this adventure to our children and grandchildren. It’s part of our love story, it made us stronger, and I love every piece of it.

You know, it’s almost six years since that happened, and I still get tears in the eyes, but thinking about the worst thing I had to do it was getting a part-time job. And it didn’t last two weeks because I got another freelance project.

Most of the times, the worst case scenario is that you have to get a part-time job, and that’s fine. That doesn’t mean you failed; it just means you’re growing + getting stronger + adding another adventure to your own story.

You’ll never mess it up so bad that you’re not able to get up again – I won’t let you, I promise!

I believe in you; you can become a profitable fashion illustrator!

So, if you want to start your own business and become a profitable fashion illustrator, this is what I recommend you to do:

1 | Plan for success + take action

Now you know the pillars you have to have in place to be profitable (skills + style + showing up), and you know the step-by-step you need to follow:

1. Embrace yourself to stand out, and determine what kind of offerings you want to sell
2. Know who is your dream client, and what they need + want
3. Create offerings your dream clients and you LOVE
4. Have a website + branding
5. Build an effective portfolio
6. Create a content + marketing strategy that attracts and catches your dream clients
7. Delight your clients, so they keep coming back

So, start following these steps, work on the nitty-gritty details of each, put them on your calendar and take action. If you need accountability, tell your boyfriend, your mom or dad, or your BFF what you want to do, and ask them if they can keep you accountable.

And no matter what keep going, even if things get hard, even if fear + self-doubt try to stop you. Make your dream a reality.

2 | Don’t be afraid to side hustle or start small

You don’t have to quit your 9-to-5, and you definitely don’t have to launch big with bells and whistles to become a profitable fashion illustrator.

I had the privilege to be living with my parents when I started my business, and I didn’t have a 9-to-5, but I still was in school (kind of a regular job but without payment). And I started very small, I had a tiny portfolio, no referrals, no website, and I underpriced my work, but I started.

Little by little I + my business evolved, I began gaining traction and as clients kept coming I increased my prices, built an effective portfolio, a strong word of mouth, and a long waiting list. It didn’t happen overnight, and it wasn’t easy, but all the great things I experienced + all the fantastic people I met + all the lessons I learned happened because I decided to side-hustle and start small towards achieving my dream – instead of waiting until everything would be “perfect.”

Don’t be afraid to follow your heart + be brave + make your dreams happen. You deserve it.

3 | Own yourself + embrace, trust, and use your talents.

By all means be yourself, own yourself, be proud of you and your journey. No one’s story is like yours, and no one’s journey is for you. You + your story + your journey + your style are all special, and it’s your job to own them and be proud of them. Because, that’s what differentiates you from the crowd, that’s what makes you and your work special, and that’s what makes clients choose you over other people.

Own who you are.

Always, embrace + trust + use your talents, they’re there for you. You have them for a reason, so you better put them to use.

And, whenever you need to learn something or nurture your craft, do it. There’s no better way to embrace + trust + use your talents than learning new skills, finding new tools, and investing in yourself and your own growth as an illustrator to be of better service to your clients.

To Finish…

Becoming a fashion illustrator, and building my freelance business is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made – and I LOVE it! It’s been challenging + scary at times, but it’s the most fulfilling + exciting + fun I’ve done as a fashion creative (I can’t really imagine myself working full-time, I just can’t :P)

If you want to become a profitable fashion illustrator, I hope this post has clarified some of your doubts + encouraged you to start doing what you love for a living + guided you through the steps you should take to get started on your journey.
