What is the best way for a recent graduate to find roles in concept art or character design?

  • @Aiman Ishak Thank you, I will try my best to branch out! I need to get better at posting on socials too...
  • Hm not a graduate of arts but I find that the best way to get roles for concept art related work is by having a solid connection and a good portfolio.

    When I say connection I don't mean that you need someone on the top to help you out, but more of the sense that people in the industry notices you. So having a strong social game is important here as once you get their attention socially, you can move that attention to your work and get roles within the industry.
