The Illustrator’s Guide with James Hughes | Episode 40
James Hughes on How to Create an Exceptional Illustration Career
In this episode I chat with James Hughes about his new book, The Illustrator's Guide, a comprehensive, motivational handbook for artists trying to break into the freelance illustration market. James is an agent at Folio Illustration and Animation Agency, representing some 60 illustrators around the world. Taking advice from James means learning from someone who works with illustrators and the clients who hire them every day.
What You’ll Learn:
How to Balance Personal Taste with Market-Readiness in your Art
Tips for Building Your Portfolio
What to Work On While You're Waiting for Real Client Work
How to Submit Work to an Agent
What Not to Do When Reaching Out to an Agent
And much more!

The book is great. I bought it for a friend for her birthday earlier this year, then had to buy one for myself.
