Practice!. Practice practice practice!. Your skills are what 's important, speed is too, but the artwork itself is #1!.

You DON'T have to be in an office with a boss looking over your shoulder, you can freelance and do the jobs that are given to you--and if you CAN'T do them you respond back immediately and tell them why and apologize!.

Know how to use a scanner, photoshop and how to upload!. By the time you're ready for a job we'll have different software being used, I'm sure, so keep up with what the basics are!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
