A formal qualification! (ish)
On 7th January 2019 I began a 10 week course in Illustration, held at the University of Arts London (UAL). As I was keen to start my journey to pursue art more seriously, I thought this course would be perfect into gaining insight into both creation and professional practicalities of life as an illustrator.
The course explored a broad variety of areas within illustration, covering themes such as collage, gouache painting, portraits, architecture and buildings, editorial illustration, publishing illustrations, comics, and insight into turning your passion into a business.
The most important thing I gained from this course was the inspiration of other creatives. Being around other artists, all with completely different working styles, allows for you to think outside of the box and push the boundaries of what you can do as an artist.
