graphics-wise it's quite easy to start freelancing. start by posting your work publicly in the form of a portfolio and clients should slowly start rolling in.
If you already have some work done you can publish your work on YouTube, Artstation,... Additionally I would recommend to search for freelancing projects with the famous sites like Gulp. Furthermore I think a LinkedIn account can also help to find a job or clients.
go freelance first and if you have a portfolio to show to clients it would be much easier for you to show ur potential clients that you can do what you do definitely start from that you can start by creating concept arts and so on til u get ur first client.
