VLOG 1 | Daily Routine of a Freelance Illustrator | Character Design Portfolio Tips | Farm Chores

🎨✨ Welcome Back to My Channel! ✨🎨
Hey everyone, it’s been a while! You might remember me from my videos on art, character design, and the adventures of my freelance life. After a few years away, I’m thrilled to be back and share some exciting updates with you!
In this fresh chapter of my KZbin journey, I’ll be giving you an inside look at my life as a full-time self-employed artist.
Expect to see:
* 🌟 Tips and tutorials on art, illustration and character design
* 🖌️ Behind-the-scenes glimpses of my creative process
* 🏡 Vlogs capturing my daily life
* 🐔 Updates from my rescue farm with my adorable chickens and bunnies
I’m kicking off this comeback with a vlog that dives into my current daily routine. While no two days are exactly alike, this video will give you a taste of what my life looks like now, from creative projects to farm chores.
I’d love to hear from you! Let me know in the comments what topics you’re interested in, suggestions for future videos, and your thoughts on my return. You can expect a new video from me every month, so stay tuned!
Don’t forget to subscribe and hit the notification bell to keep up with all the new content. Let’s dive back into this creative journey together!

Nice to see you back on youtube meike - great video by a great artist - and with the garden of chickens you really are living that Disney life!

[@MeikeSchneider]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed my vlog! It’s always so much work editing that many clips! But I think it gives a realistic overview of my daily routine ✨

[@elisablanco]

Dear Meike, I loved this video very much. I find myself in the process of becoming an Illustrator, and videos like this one inspires me to keep fighting for my dreams. I would love to see more of your content and behind the scenes. I would find really helpful a video talking about discipline or a "more in depth" video where you talk about organizing your day and how you accomplish your daily tasks. I think as a beginner I don't know sometimes how to organize myself and prioritize some things among others. Of course, discipline and consistency are the clue for any success ✨ Keep posting more videos please! You have such a talent to make them so enjoyable to watch ❤ Greetings from switzerland :)

[@MeikeSchneider]

Ohh, thank you so much for your sweet words! Makes me so happy to hear that I was able to inspire you through this video! 💛 Also thanks much for the content suggestion - noted! I already collected a bunch of topics I want to cover in my next videos and you'll be able to vote in my Instagram @meikearts which topics are coming next. Wishing you all the best for you art career and keep fighting for your dreams 🥰

[@blahsterblahster]

Is your latest book going to be translated into english? I would love to buy it but unfortunately can't read German.

[@MeikeSchneider]

So far the printed version is only available in German. I hope at some point another publisher will license and translate the book. So far, the only option is, to purchase the digital e book version via Amazon and then translate with AI / or google translate to English. 😢

Danke!! Ich bin auch richtig froh wieder hier zu sein. Längere videos fühlen sich einfach besser an als der ganze Short form content 💛
