Hello again my name is Ken Sweckard and I started this blog to help others and as well to find more freelance art jobs. I have also started a freelance artists group and page on Facebook which at this point many artists have joined and have participated. You can first off find the group on Facebook under the search of Freelance artists or the page freelance artists groups or just follow the links here that I provide for you.
Freelance Artists Group
Freelance Artists Page
these are the freelance art groups and pages with many artists that do freelance in many different areas from film to video games and animation and vfx to web design and digital graphics. Besides this there are many other ways to find freelance art jobs and getting info on finding freelance artists. To start there are freelance art job sites that can help you find freelance artists, painters, freelance designers and more. But there are many things to consider when hiring freelance artists and designers as well there are freelance websites where you can browse artists portfolios and get and idea of the specific style the artists specialize in. As well if you are a free lance artist looking to get noticed a portfolio of your best works will give you a solid representation so clients looking at your work knows what they can expect from you if they decide to retain or commission you for a freelance art job.
You can find so many different styles of artists and designers and as well for the artist find so many different freelance art websites at this point in the online revolution that sometimes it is not east to know where to start. First off you need to decide what kind of artist you are looking for or what kind of freelance art job you are looking for. From there first Google can be your friend in finding what you are looking for, but at times there are so many freelance type of listings that finding something that is relevant may not be as easy as it seems. So to start I am going to give you a little boost here, and that being said, realize this may not be the only places that you should look. As well some freelance websites may have more freelancers from your country or less, it all depends on where you are from and the freelance art or artist business that you are looking for. For Americans just as and example you will probably find the higher paying jobs on more U.S. based artists freelance sites, while other countries may find more freelance artist based sites from a European based freelance art community site. So that being said I will list a few of the best freelance based directories that I know of, as well they all may charge a fee but they do have intro based memberships that are free you just get less options for signing up, displaying your portfolio etc … Ohh and one last thing before I list these, on of the main reasons for using a freelance art directory is that there are a few options that make sure you will get paid, be sure to follow these rules with milestones etc… because if you do not you actually may be breaking the freelance sites rules and as well if you are not careful you could end up not getting paid for your work.
Freelancer – This website has many freelance art positions and jobs listed at any given time. There is a heavy South American and Euro following on this Artistic Freelance site so if you are looking for a great freelance site that really caters to the South American and European freelance community try this site.
Elancer – This freelance art directory is the first freelance job site that was on the internet. You may join as a freelance artist for free, and as well add a freelance art portfolio as well. There are few different membership offers that you may take advantage of also and they will govern the amount of proposals that you can take advantage of on a monthly basis. Elance has the most United States based freelance art listings that you will find whether you are a freelance animation artist or a freelance vfx artist there are links to freelance art jobs of each and every kind whether you are freelance video game artist or doing freelance concept art you should find listings here from the United States and as well about every other country in the world.
Guru – Here is another freelance site that I look over on a regular and there are often quite a few listings though the jobs do not seem to have as high of pay for the rate of freelance art work as the others. This may change as it gets more popular though.
