Time/week spent: 5h - 20h

Initially, more time was spent on learning and creating a portfolio, which involved drawing, refining skills, and studying other artists' work. As the side hustle progressed, time was divided between client work (creating commissioned pieces), marketing (posting on social media, engaging with followers), and administrative tasks (invoicing, managing orders). The time commitment varied, with more hours needed when handling multiple commissions or during promotional periods. Online, people often mention that the time demand can fluctuate based on project load and marketing efforts, with some spending more time upfront to establish their brand.
