Re: Portfolio review and best pages to get freelance jobs
Your motivation to continue improving must be because you enjoy the work, not because you have some destination in mind. Because you still have several years ahead of you before your work is going to stand out from among your peers. You've got to learn to see your work from other peoples eyes.
