- @Jacqueline Colley that’s extremely helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to respond!
- A local business and do a proposal - window. Drawings in a barber shop as an example, hope that helps!
- Hi Joe,My thoughts would be that you don’t have to be in London to work as an illustrator you can work from anywhere in the world as it’s mostly remote as in house jobs in illustration are rare. If you’re in london then you could make use of networking events or sell at markets to get more involved in the local scene. I always think the AOI’s portfolio sessions are brilliant for helping identify who your potential clients could be but I always think it’s good to go local look at what’s around you see where your illustrations could help elevate
