Are you a future illustrator for kids books?
No matter what your experience or skill level, good feedback can make a big difference! Seeing your illustration work through someone else's unbiased eyes and getting tips from a professional can carry you through to the next level.
You don't need to have a finished portfolio yet! A few samples (4-10 pieces) can actually show a lot of your talent and direction, plus give me something solid to review. I can help as you begin to put together your portfolio or assist in refining your current collection! Your work can be traditional or digital.
What to Expect?
I keep things positive; pointing out your best work and discussing your strengths. Knowing what you are really good at can help you accentuate those things in your future artwork.
I'll also touch on areas you may want to study or practice—important points that can make all the difference in your portfolio! This can include:
Ideas on how to make your work ideal for the children's book world
Ways to tweak your art pieces to get them that last mile
Which art samples are the ones to include in your portfolio submissions to agents, art directors, or publishers. How to use best-practices in your portfolio design.
What to do moving forward with actionable tips designed to focus your work!
The things I'll be looking at when reviewing your specific pieces will include: how you convey character, narrative story, mood, composition, and color. Your techniques with chosen mediums may also be included in the review.
I'm a professional children's book illustrator and have also worked in freelance illustration for many years. I have a BFA in visual arts. I'm excited to see your work and offer helpful insights to encourage, instruct, and lift you on your journey!
