I started creating illustrated thumbnails for my own YouTube channel and realized there's a great opportunity to focus on freelancing in this area. Here are some advantages of using digital illustrations for your thumbnails:

Appeals to all age groups – Illustrated thumbnails are universally attractive and can captivate viewers of all ages.

Helps your video stand out – Custom illustrations make your video pop, distinguishing it from others in a crowded feed, wich often catch the eye more effectively encouraging more clicks.

Enhances brand recognition – A unique and consistent thumbnail design can make your content instantly recognizable, even without reading the title.

Adds a personal touch – Digital art reflects your creativity, giving your channel a unique, memorable identity.
