This is something we hear quite a lot, and it's a BIG broad question: How do you actually become an illustrator who makes money. Dear Good Ship Illustration please break it down for me, step by step.

No pressure (aaagh 😅)

Alas, there is no tidy step-by-step guide… but in this episode we're doin' our very best to give you a solid direction to head in.

  • Step 1 = loadsa drawing
  • Finding your creative voice and confidence
  • Sharing your brownies
  • How to balance a job while building your illustration career
  • A big ol' mistake new illustrators tend to make - not you though. You're cleverer than them.

05:45 – Job juggling
08:15 – Feeling behind? 
(Does anyone ever feel ahead though?? No. Nothing to worry about then.)

Taraa for now.
