Find relevant organisations and communities
Identify organisations that are relevant to your discipline. Visit their websites and look for information and resources that can help you with your practice and research.
I have done a list of places I have researched over the last few days:-
The London Illustration fair 24th-26th Nov
The Association of Illustrators (AOI)
Penguin.co.uk (Illustrating a children’s book):-
- Find references
- Mix analogue and digital
- Create thumnails
- Map the story
- Make roughs
- Look for new challenges
Creative BLoq
Adobe (Beginning a career in children’s book illustration)
Waterstones (Books)
I went into Watersones and looked in the picture book section, I was looking for illustrators that use traditional work, then put it through digital software for the finished book.
I found :-
