Description

This December 2016 Patreon reward covers the business side of illustration and concept art. This is not a painting demo. If you plan on being a professional artist, this is the lecture for you. I discuss things you have to deal with once you become an artist, like taxes, contracts, pay, and invoicing. Some of the topics I cover include

• Estimated Taxes • Business Licenses • Deductions • LLCs and S Corps • Different types of contracts • What various clauses mean and how to make them work for you • Typical pay for various types of work • How to invoice • And More!

Please note, some of this information is covered in my Advanced Digital Painting Mentorship.
