A Day in the Life of a Self Employed Illustrator ☀ STUDIO VLOG 31 ☀

[@maelanngegot4482]

I often let myself go, i have very little self control, which means i'm quick to over eat, stop my skin care routine, miss work deadlines etc, it's a really bad habit, i hate it and it makes my self esteem go so down it almost touches hell. but... for some reason every single time you post a video it just... motivates me? right now i'm only 4mins in the video and i'm going to go shower and clean my place as soon as the video is done. i can't explain why or how you do it, but damn. thank you so much

[@apple.cheeks]

I have no idea, but if it helps you get motivated, then I'm glad to be here!

[@caroliscore]

I have the same feeling !

[@aleMARG]

im new here, but for some reason i feel motivated to do stuff too

[@sometimesnotreally1683]

When she opens her journal spread... i was like... damn... need that

[@natyeh]

guys, look. my motivation for the week has arrived. tiffany really is a godsend.

[@apple.cheeks]

[@astridmina5111]

did you quit your other job? So cool that you’re an illustrator for a living, I really admire you, you’re so talented

[@apple.cheeks]

Yes I did, about two months ago! Thank you :)

[@storyofvenus5434]

I hope some day i could quite my stresfull job too :(

[@curateddaisies4128]

@@storyofvenus5434 Self employment also comes with it's own stress, so i wouldn't want to become self-employed to be less stressful, identify the source of your stress at your current job and research the stress of self-employed people and make sure there aren't any major overlaps.

[@samhilario]

i'm happy and really appreciate that you shared a "not-so-happy" ending :) it's an honest look into freelance, the life of a creative, and just life in general!!

[@apple.cheeks]

It was a whole mission! I had to go back to get them yesterday rip..

[@samhilario]

Omigosh! I hope future deliveries are more successful :)

[@lovesoup.studio]

oh wow thank you for mentioning me tiffany! 🥰the journal tab stickers are super cute and i can't believe you sketch/write so neatly in your sketchbook 😱

[@apple.cheeks]

I didn't know you watched my videos 😭😭😭 thank you !!

[@alyssachai3166]

The bakery-themed page tabs look so cute! Can't wait to see how they turn out

[@apple.cheeks]

HEHE time to work!

[@Musikchic47]

Hey I get distracted by Cheyanne Barton too. also, yes something about bakery themed items people love!

[@apple.cheeks]

She's so cool ♥️

[@RhomanysRealm]

The morning pages exercise comes from the book The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. It has a whole finance section that’s useful for freelancers.

[@apple.cheeks]

I've heard! I think I should read the book~

[@chewycheeks]

I see your video, I click!!! Hahaha. I'm a big fan here! I also quit my job due to depression and also because of really wanting to open an online sticker shop, and I'm currently working on it. Wish it'll all work out! I'm scaaared! 😭 All of your videos really inspires me, please upload lots of it! Loooveya! 💕

[@apple.cheeks]

I hope your depression is a bit better now, I know how it can feel when work is too overwhelming. Please take care!

[@김안니-c8k]

Your house is super cute, and so does your work and your energy ❤️

[@apple.cheeks]

Thank you!!

[@TheMediaMage]

I found this vlog at a really good time. I have a lot of creatively taxing projects for college as well as freelance work coming up that was making me stress and have trouble finding motivation. Now I feel a little less alone and ready to tackle the challenges ahead. Thank you so much! It really does wonders to see another creative person working and creating amazing things! ^^

[@jasonmei3179]

8:20 that sounds so gooddd, I have to start using frozen veggies for my curry

[@brownskinbeauty]

Well writing (I don’t know what to write) is writing something. Even doing nothing is doing something. You cannot never do nothing. Your brain is always working. Food for thought.

[@ashleydevries3452]

[@apple.cheeks]

Hahaha I wish everything was instant tbh

[@DaniHoneycuttStickers]

@@apple.cheeks HaHaHa Same!!!

[@333pinkelephant333]

That skillshare transition was smooth af. 👍👍 and yes, curry udon is a legit thing. Although I've never seen a creamy white curry before. Does it still taste like curry or does it taste more milky/creamy?

[@apple.cheeks]

Been trying to make the skillshare ads more relevant to what I'm talking about hahaha.. The white curry tastes more creamy, kinda like corn cream soup if you've ever had that~

[@miapacific_]

I know this is a 4 week old video but i had to sub because i really related to your social awkwardness lol especially when you drove back from post store 🤣

[@apple.cheeks]

Hello! LOL I am the most socially awkward person xD

[@aline-papierpresage]

Your vidéos are so cute and nice and sweet and and and ... thank you for sharing your Day and work 🌿 (and hello from france ! ;) )

[@TheCiovy28]

I also like to add random things to my curries like Tofu, cheese, milk, or honey, they surprisingly match well

[@SwanCreates]

That car chase was entertaining

[@apple.cheeks]

LOL the only time I am spontaneous ...

[@fancyeli4914]

Quick question! What canvas size do you draw on procreate :o? I always have trouble choosing a size and was curious on what other artist use

[@apple.cheeks]

I always make my canvas size based off the product size. I make it 300dpi for printing :)

[@stig4063]

Is ok to ask how much do you make? Is it an average lifestyle? Im considering this as my career.

[@ItsLizV]

I have a question. Why do you put your clean clothes on that mat? Is it a drying thing or something? I'm just so curious haha

[@apple.cheeks]

I think as a kid growing up, my parents always dried our clothes by hanging it up in the backyard rather than using the drying machine. Whether its because it will damage the clothes or just to save that electricity money, I kinda just started drying my clothes this way hahaha

[@ItsLizV]

@@apple.cheeks ah makes sense! We don't have a drying machine at all so I use a clotheshorse to dry them. I've just never seen it being done on a mat before! Thanks for answering, I know it was an odd question 🥰😀

[@apple.cheeks]

@@ItsLizV I think i use a mat because I ran out of clothes hangers and also, I don't really have anywhere outside to hang it cause I live in an apartment xD

[@angelANDpeace]

I love those page tags!! I can’t wait to get yours, but also where did you get the ones that you use on your journal? Edit: Not the ones from Daiso, the ones from the other artist ✨

[@apple.cheeks]

They are from Yohand Studio! :)

How do you afford a car and car insurance and a really modern apartment after having only worked a year full time straight out of school? T_T just....amazing...

[@apple.cheeks]

Hello! I live in Vegas so I think that may be why, rent here is a lot more affordable compared to LA or NY. For car insurance, I heard it best to always look into the cheapest insurance after your contract is up, and pay the full 6 months to save some money! (The car was kindly lent to me by my parents)
