At what level do you really need to be in order to be job ready (entry level)? how can you compare yourself when you mostly see PRO work in artstation. when would you know you are ready to take on the challenge of a real job and not just sporadic small comissions?

Hi, Jon! I was wondering how do you balance straying too far from a sketch and adding time consuming detail?

Do you think that nothing is original in art anymore? and if so how would you be able to stand out from everyone else?

Does form or line style have any relevance when applying for a job in concept art?

Do you believe in natural talent? I see so many young artists online who seem to know all the fundamentals of art and they can pick up everything so quickly and they don't have to focus on doing studies and exercises as much and I try not to be jealous but it is still a bit demotivating

Do you have any tips for rendering? I find it so hard to take my paintings from the sketch with base colors to a clean rendering. Thanks!

Do you use a lot of 3d modeling software for your work (like Maya, blender etc.) and do you think VR is going be (or maybe already is) a factor in the art world?

Hey Jon! Is this the usual process you do for a splashart illustration? (I mean lineart, flats, shadows and then merge layers and work on top) Thank you both for the livestream <3

​I just started using photoshop after years of using Krita and a bit of Clip studio paint and I'm not liking PS so much for illustrations. Is if worth learning PS? What makes it stand out in illustration?
