Compact Quality information
Stumbled across this on amazon kindle. I’ve been looking for some decent tips to boost my journey into the world of illustrations. If you’re new in the industry or need some more advice it’s a good read with valuable resources and advice that will become crucial to a career in illustration. Highly recommend it illustrator newbies, students or anyone looking for a few more tips.
The personal anecdotes, and the interviews of different illustrators, also provides a very healthy real life perspective of the life and career of an illustrator.

This book is very helpful and informative for illustrators and-even to a greater extend- artists to guide them on the business side of their profession. I strongly suggest this book to all illustrators specifically the ones based in the UK to read this book. The language used in this book is extremely easy and understandable so don't worry if English is your second language.
