Hi Ibim;
Nice work you've got going here man. I always appreaciate awesome talent when i see one.
A few things i'd like to share with you, from one designer to another artist.

1.) Try putting your port-folio online. You can use either Pinterest.com or preferably Behance.net. This way, people (and by people i mean other professionals and clients) can find you faster and you have a wider reach

2.) Continue to hone your skills. What you have is already amazing, but striving to perfection never ends. Explore as many art styles as you can find and try to create a more unique style for yourself. Trust me, it pays if anyone can spot a sketchwork 50-yards away and say "This is Cookey's. That's his style"

3.) Now that people have figured you can draw, they will contact you in droves. BE CAREFUL.
Perhaps i didn't over emphasize this enough
BE. FUCKING. CAREFUL.
Set reasonable pricing that corresponds to what you believe is the value of your creativity. Don't let anyone price you down. What you do is your gold. Negotiate like a fucking bastard because if these customers/clients can get you to sketch them for free forever, they will do it. And most importantly, avoid the people that say you should work for little or no pay on the promise that they will refer more business for you. That's the biggest bullshit anyone will sell to you. If you do a sketch for 5-bucks, he will tell his friends he did it for 5 bucks and they will come to you with that 5-bucks mentality.....while all the time, your sketches are worth 20 bucks. So, be on the look out.

4.) Referalls are important. Do good work for folks and they WILL tell their friends. Treat your clients well and build an amazing client/friendship network.

Finally, i had your sketches featured on www.layrz., a design-only blog that curates only the best of the best of Nigerian and African design. You deserve a spot there. Well done (It would be published be 11 am today, so look out )

Cheers

. Thank you very much for your advice,nd I promise to adhere to them,nd I have seen the blog,thank you for dat,am very grateful
