Hi guys!! In this video I talk about how and why I quit my job and decided to become a full-time freelance illustrator and I answer some of your most frequently asked questions at the end. If you prefer reading (or if you don't understand my English haha) you can head over to my blog here: www.sara-faber....
While talking I realised that there is so much more to say about that, but I had to try and keep it short for this video. So if you have more questions which I haven't answered in this video, feel free to let me know in the comments down below.
Love, Sara

I started freelancing right out of college, and quickly realized how difficult it was. So major props to doing what you love! I have a 9-5 now and some part of me misses freelance, so maybe I'll make the transition back to freelance again one day. Wonderful video, very inspiring

"My art journey" is ALWAYS an interesting subject, and yours is no exception. I briefly worked for another company doing art, and also learned that it just... wasn't for me. It was such a bad experience that it totally turned me off from art for YEARS.... But now I'm back! Making videos, art, and learning more and more that there is life outside of working for others. I'm completely jealous of the self-employment role models you had around you because I just turned thirty and only now have realized that not working for others is an option. I'm glad you worked past your fear, because there's so much of it to be had in this life.... but I've found that if something terrifies you, you should run head first towards it because it's usually the best possible path.

So true, and to help put even your situation in perspective, I will tell you mine. I hope you don't mind, perhaps it is just for me that I am writing this out. But I really feel for you and know how hard that must have been to be so discouraged to turn away from art completely for many years. I did this too.... basically my whole life until really a few months ago. But, yes Sara is young but still a good person to learn from - for not only following ones' heart to do art but to reach success and to be independent as well! So, not only was I not encouraged to consider self- employment, I wasn't even encouraged to pursue art in any way. So guess what ... at the age of 60, yes 60 (wow that is so ancient!) I'm going for art/ illustration full on. - I am like a teenager in my abilities, but it is all I love to do, so, I am just drawing and painting daily and trying to learn, and never even had a job in a creative of in anyway pleasant situation at all (I worked as a nurse - ICU, er, etc. etc... some challenge and knowledge of helping initially, but really hard and draining after a short time, especially with my innate aesthetics) So , i do not mean to disregard your discomfort at where you are now and where you want to be, but I want you to not be too frustrated with your age. You can be where you want to go, and while it may not come instantly, it will come. Today, we are really all so lucky to have the internet, (as long as it stays open!) because we can learn the truth here - that it is not silly and impossible to get a job doing art, nor is it silly and impossible to work as your own boss. I only learned this because of all the young artist (mostly) on youtube and instagram). I have seen several artist go from awkward beginning artist to 1st class artist with good income. So you can imagine at my age people think I'm not all there to be focusing on art so much (except not my Instagram art friends - who likely all think I am 20 something) and having faith that I will one day at least make some money at it. If not for was several artists on youtube who not only talked about success really being a matter of drawing and focusing on learning your art daily - rather than it being a magical talent from birth, that allowed me to believe it was possible. Really, I had no choice any longer, because it is just all I want to do and seem able to do, although I still work to bring in the funds. But it is true, the more I work at the art, the better I get and it may take time yet, but at least I am doing what i love and there is some hope that maybe within a few years It will supplement my income. If not for the other artist I have come across on youtube and Instagram I would still be wondering why I was cursed with a love of drawing and painting and have no talent. But now,I know, that all you need is the desire and drive to draw and paint daily and to work and improve, and this it all that is needed, At any age! (sorry for running on, but hope you or someone gets a little from it)

I randomly play this from my youtube feed and it was what I need to hear right now at this point in my life, I work as a uiux designer and I totally left behind my passion for illustration. When I was in uni I really love illustration, I've always have insecurities about myself and my art so I didn't go for it as a career... so I started working full time as uiux and I completely forgot about illustration... and I think that's the reason why I'm feeling so sad and a little miserable in my life. So hearing you, gave me hope and I want to make the same decision as you, quit my job and looking foward to make a life with illustration. Thanks for all the inspiring words in your video, keep it up! you're awesome

Wow thank you for your message - I can 100% relate! I think I forgot to talk about this in this video but I was also feeling sad because I neglected illustration for so long. And I - just like you - wasn't confident with my art so I went for another career instead in the beginning of my "work life". But don't feel ashamed for your art, it is definitely a career and it is possible to make a sustainable income with it. It can be hard in the beginning when you start out fresh but you can totally start it on the side of your UX/UI job, and once it gets more stable you can go full in :) Keep it up girl! :) 💛

Katherine Ponce I’m on the exact same boat as you; miserable in uiux. The ui part is fine,my art is good enough for it,but I am not good enough in concept art so I’m stuck doing ui. UX bores/annoys me to death. I’m on the verge of quitting my job bc I hate this career path ...nice salary but miserable 9 hrs a day. I too stumbled on this channel and really want to be my own boss at running my own little shop selling stickers and illustrations. But it’s so scary....bc the little shops market is so saturated...I’m so scared of not having anything unique enough to offer

You have the absolute best narration voice and video style!! I love this soooo much! Listened/watched whilst working on a commission piece of my own :3 I am 27 and have just finished a contract with the university I did grad school at and am building up my own portfolio/online presence in hopes of making art a more significant part of my own income. I've been doing a few commissions a year for the past 4 years consistently, though I'd done a few in my mid-teens as well. Pet portraits have been my focus! I absolutely love your work and your style! Congrats on your successes so far! You deserve them :)

New subscriber, Sara and excited to find your channel. I'm fairly new to KZbin, as I've been at it for about a year, but I've been a freelance illustrator for about 30 years, combined with graphic design as well. I understand the exhausted feeling, as even now, I STILL do work into the evening, and with 4 teens, life is always a challenge! lol! Glad to find your channel and looking forward to seeing more of your work. Cheers! :)

Hey Sara I want to be doing exactly what you’re doing so just wanted to say you are a huge inspiration and one of my freelance illustration heroes (or heroines 😊) people like you give me hope that I can make art as a living too because I totally relate to feeling constricted by the standard 9-5 office job which is what I have currently. Not to say I’m not greatful for this job as I know it’ll get me where I want to be eventually but I hear you when you say the freelance life is more liberating! I hope you can keep doing this for the rest of your life and wish you all the best in the world! :)

I just found your youtube channel through this video and first WOW I love your art. The whole style and fibe is so nice and lovely. Very inspirational! Second I wanted to react on this video. I just started this whole creative journey since January and begin getting more serious with making stuff and learning new things this summer after I graduated university. I am 21 atm and working as a product developer in an office and girl I CAN RELATE. Sure the work is ok, I don't mind the job (and the steady salary) but I hate that I am not passionate about it. In the end I don't feel like I am doing this for me and I really want to build something myself. So I am working on that. This summer I also started in instagram and now have a youtube that is slowly growing while I am figuring out what I like to do and make. And I am doing it on the side next to this fulltime office job. I feel like I am just where you were a couple years ago and it is so inpirational to see you do this. I really hope one day I am ready to take this step as well. I keep telling myself if I just keep practising, I will keep growing and then one day I will be ready. Doesn't matter how long it will take. I am only 21 plenty of time left. So what was I trying to say? Just that I felt very inspirated by you. THANKS

Hey, I also live in Germany and I'm very interested in starting as a freelance illustrator/creative overall. I wanted to ask you how did you start it "bureaucratically"? I mean, did you go to any specific office (Arbeitsamt/Steuerberater/Gewerbeschein anmelden/...)? What should my first steps be, in order to start? thank you very much. I appreciate so much your work and personality, you really gave my dream strength and hope!!

Hi Sara! :) This is my first time writing here (I think! :P). Thank you so much for sharing your story about the decision you took. This vid has been very orientational. Actually, I'm pursuing a similar path as an artist; living from it if possible. I've been looking for stories like yours from all over the web, mainly to encourage myself, and the most of them coincide in the same concepts. I know it won't be easy to take so crucial step, but I believe at the end it all will worth. Have an excellent weekend! Blessings!!

Hi! I am so happy about your comment, because messages like yours are the reason I made this video. When I started out, I was also looking all over the web for other peoples stories, but there weren't many. Good luck with your path and I wish you all the best!

I didnt want to get into the art industry mainly because I always didn’t like the idea of making art to please others (which is how u earn money as an artist) and although I know criticism is good to improve, I didn’t rlly like taking criticism when it comes to doing my art. I don’t know how to best explain it without sounding obnoxious or proud (?) but art is my escape of being entirely myself and my hands create whatever my mind and heart wants to. “If you did it like that, it would look nicer. If you used that colour, it would be more appealing. If you used this technique, your artwork will look better.” I realised early that seeking other people’s approval for my art work actually made me more easily disappointed with myself and I would lose my sense of art style in the means of trying to be the very best. Hence, I didn’t think of considering art as a career. Thoughts anyone?
