About

I accidentally became an illustrator as a result of a daily drawing project that spanned 14 years. Throughout my career I’ve worked with clients like Cartoon Network, Microsoft, Facebook, Adidas, Nickelodeon, and countless others. This channel is centered around illustration and my career as an illustrator. I also have ADHD, and I talk about that sometimes too. Typical content includes tutorials, reviews of illustration related things I use (typically revolving around an iPad), Tips + Tricks, Lettering (Oh yeah, I do a lot of that too!).

Video Description

In this video I discuss 5 things I wish I knew when I started my career in illustration. I've been working as an independent illustrator for the past 12 years and I've done work for clients like Nickelodeon, Adidas, Cartoon Network, Google, and countless others. Before becoming an illustrator I was a graphic designer, my career in illustration was a bit of an accident and I've been winging it ever since. As a result I've learned a lot of things the hard way. If I knew the 5 things I talk about in this video from the start, things would have been a lot easier. Hopefully you find this information valuable—if you do please give me a thumbs up and subscribe! I'm planning on making a part 2 very soon! 💌 Sign up to my mailing list: https://tinyletter.com/chrispiascik 🔍 You can also find me on: 🤳🏻 Instagram: https://instagram.com/chrispiascik 📝 Twitter: https://twitter.com/chrispiascik 🕺🏻 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@chris_piascik 👨🏻‍🎨 My website: https://chrispiascik.com 🤷🏻‍♂️ Linktree: https://linktr.ee/chrispiascik 👨‍🎓 FREE Month of Skillshare: https://tinyurl.com/MYSKILLSHARE 🖌 Photoshop/Procreate/Fresco Brushes: https://tinyurl.com/retrosupply
