Does having a successful illustration business that supports your needs fully sound like a dream come true? If you're struggling to make this a reality or curious where to start then welcome to this class.

8 years ago I was a stay at home mum with two small kids, yet over time I’ve become an in demand illustrator by sharing my gifts and talents with the world. And this is the first time I’ve revealed my entire illustration story anywhere! Although there isn’t a single set route to a successful illustration career, I can share my personal insights and experiences to give you a realistic understanding of what to expect.

Reaching your own illustration goals can be taken step by step. The first half of the class is dedicated to laying the foundations, then building momentum to boost your skills and expand your outlook. You’ll be tasked with imagining what an ideal illustration career looks like for you.

There is a super handy 12 Part Transition Into Illustration Worksheets pdf which you can download to help you with defining your gifts and talents and how you can impart your unique passions into your illustration work. And a you can download my timeline to see major highlights of my transition journey.

The later lessons Include tips that I’ve picked up from my own experience:

- marketing & social media

- setting up different income streams

- negotiating fees

- pros and cons of working with one style.

There are lessons on positioning your illustration for the markets you’d love to work in and contacting clients. And my personal experience with self care practices as an illustrator.

Whether you're just starting out as a freelancer, wanting to build your income and quit your day job, or are an established illustrator looking for extra tips and tricks, this class is for you!
