I’m really fortunate that my day job is four days a week. I still do overwork and burn myself out, but I try to be mindful and pace myself. If possible I’ll trade off days where I’m working more casually and days where I’m grinding to get lots done.

People who make comics (or other freelance art work) as their fulltime job: how do you do it? How do you make it work, esp financially? People who make comics on the side while having a fulltime day-job: how do you do it without overworking and/or burning out?

I need all artists to know that using 3D models in your art is not cheating. Those free-to-use 3D models are literally there to make your life easier. Stop being so hard on yourself and just trace that 3D object. You don't need to be able to perfectly draw every object ever from memory!!
