Summary

Beatrice has spent six years as a graphic designer working for someone else, and now she's ready to freelance as a digital artist. There's just one problem: she feels weird charging people for her work, caught between a lack of confidence and the fear that taking money makes her a sellout. Preston and bestselling author Amy Suto dig into the mindset shift that separates hobbyists from professionals, why "solving a problem" beats "selling your art," and how to stand out in a world where AI can generate art in seconds.
