Working as a freelance character designer requires a solid understanding of one’s own creative process and the ability to deliver artwork in a fast-moving pipeline.

As an artist, it’s your job to come up with creative ideas quickly by putting pen to paper and visualising briefs for various clients. Every project will have its complexities depending on the assignment, the deadline, and the art director who will help guide the work. Being reliable and maintaining good communication is key to building positive working relationships.
