Setting up a timeline for your client – For artists

Setting up a timeline for your client is not only essential for said client, but also for you because it will guide you through your own planning as well. It’s easy for an artist to get lost in their art, and you probably recognize the feeling that your art is never ‘finished’ or ‘good enough. If that’s the case with you too, and you are hired for commissions every now and then, you probably know this is not true, and it only feels that way. Having a timeline set up will help you to quit fiddling and actually get to work, as well as accept your art for what it is.
