>What is the file size typically used in illustration? What is a bare minimum?
in general the bigger canvas the gooder it is
try to have at least 300 dpi resolution, that is the minimum acceptable for printing
>How do you get paid by foreign customer, is paypal considered professional?
generally clients want your bank info- just sort code, bank location and number so they can put money into it. that is all they need to pay you, be suspicious if they ask you for anything else. not sure about overseas.
>Is sending just pdf portfolio less professional than a site?
no, so long as they ask for it. an unsolicited email with an attachment often goes straight in the spam box cause it might have a virus in
>I don't really want to put my work online
why the fuck not? you'll let companies judge you but not randos on the internet?
>and free versions of portfolio sites may seem a bit cheap.
just get a tumblr, if you fiddle around with themes and settings a bit you can get something quite presentable. or maybe a blogspot, a lot of pro artists have those.
>should I take a chance and send out my portfolio and try to roll with it if I get some jobs
do it. if they don't like your work now, you can always send them some new stuff later down the line saying you updated your portfolio. it is very hard to get these people to actually blacklist or hate you
>I'm anxious that I'll embarrass myself
babes we can tell. and you can't do the awkward youth thing forever. you're just gonna have to learn to live with it. an artist is seen, always.
