I have had about 6 years experience and also attended about year and a half at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. I had to drop out fro medical reasons and I am just now getting back out there as a freelancer. The entire 4 years I was sick I was always designing or sketching or something. I feel like once I discovered digital art I found my calling. I think I have a great attention to detail and I feel that transfers over into my work. I like to get to know my clients so I can give them what they want on the 2nd or third revision. What makes me happy is a happy client. I love seeing my work being used by someone who really likes something I created for them. If my client smiles I smile larger.
