NERDS: I won't be able to upload a video this weeek :U I broke my toe, it hurts a lot and I can barely walk by myself. Good news: I just went to the Doctor and I'm fine! BUT I'll have to do sit-down-chill videos for a while. Let's take this opportunity to do something FUN: is there anything you'd like me to talk about? Any questions about freelancing or life? Thanks for all the love and patience :..)

~ NERDS: no podré subir un videito esta semanaaa :U me quebré un dedo del pie, duele como los mil demonios y a penas puedo caminar. Buena noticia: Ya fui al Doctor y estoy bien! PERO tendré que hacer videos sentada por un tiempo. Quiero que tomemos esta oportunidad para hacer algo divertido: hay algo de lo que les gustaría que hablara? Preguntas sobre ser freelance o la vida en general? Gracias por todo su amor y paciencia :..)

Oh no! Wishing you a speedy recovery! Maybe a good chatty video could be re-visiting the finances topic as a freelancer. I do wonder how you budget your money, especially since new york is so expensive and you are leasing two spaces! (Home+studio). Also I was wondering what percentage of income comes from patreon, commisions, product sales, and so on. That would be really helpful since no one really talks money dispite it being key in doing freelancing.

I hope youll get better soon <3 you always inspire me to draw more and have fun doing it. Id love to hear you talk about what you struggle with when drawing, is there anything you do to stay motivated? How does it feel to look back to idk like 5-10 years and compare it to where you are in life now. Does it help to have a dedicated work space? I really love your art and videos, they make me feel good and safe and cozy when im having a bad day. Thank you so much

I hope you get better soon Fran! I look forward to your videos every week but take the time you need to get better <3 I have a few random questions: What are your favorite plants? Any tips on moving out to a new place? Do you think artists' art style tells us about anything about them and their personalities? If yes what do you think your style says about you as a person?

Fran me encantaría si puedes dar algún consejo para personas que saben dibujar, pero no han podido adquirir la constancia y la disciplina de hacerlo día a día y que además quieren empezar a ganar dinero con eso. Serían dos consejos separados. Qué recomiendas para motivarse a dibujar con más constancia (todos los días?) Y qué recomiendas para empezar a ganar dinero con eso

I hope you feel better!! I was wondering, how do you advertise your shop outside of YouTube? How do you grow your business? Or first grow it? Thank you! Take care!

How's your life in NYC going? Did you get to know some great people and other artists to mingle. How's NYC on the financial side compared to your past countries you lived in?

@chandlerhougan

Hope you feel better Fran! My question is, before you had a big following and a lot of commissions how did you have enough money to print stickers and planners? I want to start selling stickers and stationery but I’m scared of the investment and then not selling merch! Thanks Fran babey!

I hope you heal quickly! :) I'd love to hear you talk about about the cats, your favorite vegan foods, and/or how to layer gouache without it getting muddy. <3

@angelableibtrey6239

I’m so sorry about your toe! 😮 I hope it heals really fast! I love listening to you while I draw and try to figure out freelancing life. Which is VERY overwhelming @_@ I’ve watched your videos on ideas of where to start but I’m super scared 😱 and I’m kind of all over the place. So I have a couple of questions, please: how can you organize yourself to make a game plan to make free lance your full time job? Is it better to be picked up by an illustration company or to solely freelance do you think? What do you do to boost your confidence when applying to work with companies/ people?? Any kind of help would be extremely appreciated. I value your opinion 🙏🏼🙏🏼 ❤️ feel better soon
