Starting out as an illustrator - 3 things I wish I'd known!

When you start out as an illustrator it's a lovely time of fumbling around, figuring stuff out the hard way.

But not anymore!

Save time! Save yourself some hitting-your-head-against-the-desk pain 😅 Here are the top 3 things I wish I'd known when I was getting started as an illustrator over 11 years ago.

Starting out as an illustrator in 2010 was WAAAY different to now.

YouTube was just cat videos back then. Now you can get so much creative career insight and see what other illustrators have done. There's a load of proof it's possible. Illustration can be a brilliant, lucrative, fun and creative career.

Me and my pals Helen Stephens and Tania Willis set up The Good Ship Illustration to help other illustrators navigate a creative career (and feel less lonely while doing it.)
