In the video below, Rongrong chats with former Fashion Illustration 101 student, Sandra Lucia aka FearlessYaya. Sandra shares her artist journey and reminds us that sometimes our mindset is our biggest enemy.
A little bit about Sandra: Sandra Lucia used to be an art director at Amazon, the world's largest e-commerce site. It was a high pressure job that always had her working long hours. Last year she took Rongrong’s fashion illustration 101 course. Taking what she learned in the course she started to build HER OWN ART EMPIRE! Today, she is making more income as an independent artist than she did at her old job as an art director for Amazon!
Sandra is a lifestyle illustrator that serves specifically first generation Latinas like herself. Sandra tells Rongrong:
“Your course completely changed the way I look at illustration.”
In this chat, Sandra talks about how she was holding herself back with the myth that there is no money in illustration. Before this course, she was drawing as a form of meditation and escapism from her busy life. The Fashion Illustration 101 course taught her that being an artist is not just drawing, it is so much more! It truly is a course for any level of illustration skill because Rongrong is a mentor that walks you through every level of the course.
The most beneficial section of this course, according to Sandra is the sketch to product video where Rongrong takes you through the entire process from initial idea to full fledged product! Other great sections include where Rongrong tells the students where she manufacturers her notepads and other products. That knowledge is worth the price of the course alone!
Advice for artists from Rongrong and Sandra:
You need to draw what is relatable! Infusing emotion into your art and illustrations gains fans & buyers more than just pretty ballgowns do.
Drawing real people that represent you and the diversity around you is the best use of your talents!
Investing in your passions is the best thing you can do.
If you don’t take the 1st step, opportunity can disappear.
Start following artists online that have done what you want to do! Sometimes you need to see what someone else has done to help you push yourself towards your dreams! It is so important to have mentors and people in your life that are supportive! You can’t build an art business alone!
For any dream, you need to:
Make a decision to do it
Find a mentor that has accomplished what you desire
Take all the knowledge they can give and put it into action
Invest in this course to save 7 years of trial and error that Rongrong went through herself! Choose to invest in education as it is the only thing that no one can take away from you.
Reminder: Dreams are valid at any age! If you are older it just means you have more life experience to take inspiration from for your art! You may have a different target audience than a teenager but that is okay!
All in all, we as a society need to break the mindset around the starving artist. Take the course to get all the tips and motivation to make it rain!
