Hi Everyone, I'm talking about budgeting and income as a first-year freelance illustrator. I feel like it's not talked about as far as I see artists that are successful talking about their year-end income, but no so much for the person starting out. I decided to talk about the importance of budgeting, and having a monthly profit and loss statement has helped my peace of mind.

I mentioned I'd provide some helpful links.
