For anyone aspiring to make a living from art commissions, you need to know it's never consistent. Some months I make $4000, some others I make $100.
Clients come and go, sometimes you have opportunities, and sometimes you don't. You also have to complete ongoing commissions before taking new ones, so it really depends on how fast you work and how good you are at marketing yourself.
Even if you've cleared all your commissions, nothing guarantees you'll find new clients to get money next month.
Sadly we also have to rely on socials for visibility, so that too makes it i consistent and hard to predict. If the right person sees your post at the right time, hooray, but it doesn't always work that way especially when you just get started.
Being a freelance artist can be really harsh, but on the other hand, it has great advantages that you'd never find in ANY other job. I love my job so much, and I wouldn't trade it for a corpo job for anything in the world.
I sometimes load artists' work I like into my drawing software and start thinking how they approached it. Turn on greyscale to check value structure. Look closer at the composition, perspective etc. Where is the horizon line? And ask for yourself, what could improve the artwork?

I swear I've never seen a tutorial address this. I don't know if this effect has a name but I think I have a better way to draw it correctly rather than *vibing* it out or finding a reference. someone who knows better can correct me if I'm wrong, im not a professional.
Windows keeps a thumbnail of every photo you've ever deleted.
It sits in a file called thumbcache_256.db, and forensic examiners pull it routinely. There are 15 more stores like it.
Here's how to find them and wipe them:
