Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed breakdown Niki! I'm still starting out as a freelancer and a realistic overview of what a year looks like is really helpful 🙏
PS: I love your charts! I'm a data person at heart, and I love seeing people taking data off the screen and making it so approachable ☺️
Love reading your yearly round ups as always Niki! So interesting that live illustration has been your biggest income this year - that's certainly been the case for me too! I love creating spreadsheets with pivot tables to calculate my income/expenses each year. I'm looking forward to doing a round up blog post in January ✨

So pleased it’s useful, Sophie. Have you seen all of the other money post where I interview other illustrators? Probably really useful for you.
Yes I love data / patterns etc but I just can’t work on screen / in tiny boxes :) This works for me and really goes in!
Thank you so much for this, it’s incredibly useful.
I find dealing with the business side of illustration such a challenge,
And I use that term politely. Your presentation makes it so much easier,
Much appreciated x
My pleasure - good luck with the year ahead. And any questions let me know, happy to help if I can.

Looking forward to reading your round up post Helen!
Yes, live illustration has been my saviour - every year is so different! Good luck with your round up.
