1. Be Stubborn.
A career in the arts takes time, it took me 8 years to get to a stage where I could finally go full-time. Developing your work, building a portfolio, getting clients, getting repeat clients...
it doesn’t happen overnight.
You have to fight through any doubt and keep soldiering on.
London Fashion Week is coming up and that means a huge array of new inspiration will be strutting down the runway ready for us Fashion Illustrators to watch and respond to. I’m going to take you through how I create my illustrations step by step so you’re prepared to be let loose on the runways and start drawing.

Guysss I’m SO excited to share that I’m launching a FASHION ILLUSTRATION COURSE!
Launching on 1st August it’s an 8 week course, covering everything from live events, animation, poses, composition and more!
It will be an online course where you watch that weeks module then we have a Zoom once a week to offer feedback, critique and answer any questions on that weeks exercises/homework.
I’m developing this so it’s not a step by step of how to draw like me, it’s lots of exercises that will hone your drawing skills and improve your craft by the end of the 8 weeks💪🏻
Think of it like an 80s eye of the tiger montage but for drawing. There will only be 15 spaces on the course due to how feedback will be given and focus on each person that takes the course.
So if you want to join the course pop your email in the bio link and get an email when it launches, payment plans as always will be available to help spread the cost.
