Cómo pasar de aficionado a ilustrador a tiempo completo, con Craig Babin

16 de agosto de 2024

El viaje de Craig Babinde aficionado a ilustrador a tiempo completo es un testimonio del poder de la pasión y la perseverancia. Craig compaginó durante años dos actividades creativas: el dibujo tradicional y la animación en 3D. Aunque su lápiz había sido un compañero constante desde la infancia, el encanto del modelado en 3D capturó su imaginación hace unos 15 años.

Durante la última década, Craig se sumergió en el ámbito digital, creando desde vídeos sobre agricultura de precisión hasta tutoriales sobre seguridad aérea. Su experiencia le llevó incluso a inspirar a estudiantes universitarios de primer año, introduciéndoles en el apasionante mundo del modelado 3D.

Sin embargo, 2020 marcó un momento crucial en la carrera de Craig. Tomó la audaz decisión de dejar a un lado su negocio establecido de animación 3D y lanzarse de cabeza al mundo de la ilustración profesional. Pero Craig no sólo quería hacer esta transición en silencio, sino que decidió llevar a todo el mundo con él.

Y cómo tú también puedes ganar dinero con tu arte

En diciembre de 2020, Craig lanzó un canal de YouTube para documentar su metamorfosis creativa. ¿Su objetivo? Inspirar y educar a otros aspirantes a ilustradores, mostrándoles que es posible convertir una pasión de toda la vida en una carrera sostenible. 

El contenido de Craig va más allá de los meros tutoriales. Su canal Dibuja conmigo y Doodle Podcast ofrecen a los espectadores una visión única de su proceso creativo. Los vídeos de garabatos en lapso de tiempo van acompañados de la perspicaz narración de Craig, que abarca una amplia gama de temas, desde técnicas artísticas a espíritu empresarial, e incluso filosofía vital. 

Al compartir su viaje tan abiertamente, Craig ha creado una vibrante comunidad de artistas y soñadores. Su historia nos recuerda que, con dedicación y la mentalidad adecuada, es posible transformar una afición a tiempo parcial en unos ingresos a tiempo completo, e inspirar a otros en el camino.
