So helpful! This does show me that I have a lot more I could be trying out for than I thought. Although I’m still just starting out, I’m glad I saw this video now so I don’t shut myself into a box.
Your videos are so helpful James! I just saw your Instagram live interview today with 3x3 and I was like wait a second...I know him! haha. Thanks for all the tips
Hi James, I've just found your channel and been making my way through all your videos, they're so good! Love the jazz music too 😁 I've made myself a list of different areas of illustration to focus on, and I'm going to set myself some briefs to update my portfolio. Anyway just wanted to say thanks for the videos 😊
My last private commission was a design for a memorial stone! It was later engraved by someone else. After a bit of research I was shocked to find out how much illustration is used on graves, particularly among Jewish and Eastern European community. And it pays fairly good too. Who'd ever guess that ;))
Hello, thank you for your good video. as an illustrator, I have my own style, but it doesn't seem very commercial and practical. do you think it is right to use different designs and techniques? or is this not a professional way?
Hey, it depends what your goal is. Some styles make money, and some don't. If you want to make a career of being a commercial illustrator, then you'll need a commercial style.
Hello James, I am a Paper illustrator and I approach some agencies for Editorial. I am a newbie in the approach so I learned to apply to agencies but just I want to clear to approach the magazine for Editorial work do I have to contact the art director of that magazine? Sorry if you find it a dumb question 😅
