Are you midway through your career as an illustrator? You have been working as an illustrator for some time and hope to do so for a good while longer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps you’ve been working in a particular field of illustration and are now shifting your focus. Or, maybe you feel like you’ve lost focus, aren’t keeping up with ways to promote or unsure how to expand.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whatever your story, this day-long online event is packed full of professional guidance tailored to help continue your journey as an illustrator in the best possible way.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Across four talks you’ll learn how to find your way again, what to consider when shifting in a new direction, self-promotional strategies and ways to expand your business.<\/p>\n

They’ll be plenty of opportunities to ask our guest speakers questions, connect with others, take part in a drawing prompt activity and soak up mid-career story videos.<\/p>\n

Please bring drawing materials.<\/p>\n

There will be short breaks and a lunch break within the day – please see the agenda for more details.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Please note: We will be recording the talks for you to watch back, but we encourage you to attend as much of the day as you can to benefit from the live experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n
