Does anyone know where to find Illustration jobs/commission work? I’m trying to work on my portfolio but don’t know where to start! Thanks

I’m trying to find websites or forums that advertise Illustration jobs or commission projects as I am trying to better my portfolio. If anyone knows the best place for this please let me know - I have been doing art competitions but I’ve been told they are a waste of time even though it’s good for the portfolio

  • Hi Shiquerra. Ive been building my portfolio too and found I could pick up some decent commission work on Upwork: https://www.upwork.com/

    Hope that helps...
