They work independently, often collaborating with clients or studios to bring character concepts to life, typically through sketches, digital paintings, or 3D models.

Additionally, artists may need to quickly switch between different art styles or workflows, which can be creatively demanding. Building strong organizational habits and using project management tools can help ensure a smooth workflow and keep clients satisfied.
