When I was in art school, a roommate/fellow student had a big commission: she was to paint a mantle-sized oil version of a small photograph. It was a sweet little picture of the client and the client's horse. (1/)https://twitter.com/coinaday1/status/1288109062421282817 …

"managing up" is an important skill for freelancers you don't get paid for doing what the client asks; you get paid for doing what the client wants / what makes the client happy

One thing that became obvious only in retrospect was how hard she (and I) found it to step outside of the cloistered art school environment, and even imagine what the client was likely to see or understand about the process, too; hard to do when you're marinating in it.

Man, that's a great idea, I've though about my friend's horse a lot but taking five minutes to make a mechanic blowup never, ever occured to me. My solution in similar cases since then has been "here's the initial sketch, I've done tweak X, we good to proceed like this?"
