Hello!
My name is Kali, and I started digital illustrating in 2014. I am currently a freelance illustrator and a student studying animation. I officially began my career as an artist online. Aside from taking commissions from people around the world, I sell my pieces online and conventions to reach a wider audience and promote my work.
Juggling between my schoolwork and my freelance work taught me the two topmost essential skills for freelance artists: time management and the ability to keep my focus. I am currently working hard to establish myself as an artist, and it is with great pleasure that I can share my tips and experience with you, who share the same passion for art as myself.
