I'm a Brazilian artist who has always been drawing, but it took me a while to discover that it was possible to work with art. In the beginning it was very difficult to get any kind of work, which is normal, but over time I got some commissions and some professional work. This year I want to take some courses to improve my art, and understand what steps I should take to actually enter the market, for that I need to produce some good portfolio pieces. It would be great to receive advice from those who have been in the market the longest on how to act and what steps are legal to follow.
