Exciting news… (despite my 😑 face)
I started being a fashion illustrator over 8 years ago because I loved drawing and wanted to try make a career whilst enjoying what I do. I know a lot of us want the same!
Now I’m receiving plenty of messages from people who are in the same boat, wanting to get more clients and their work seen by a bigger audience whilst enjoying the process of sharing their art.
A lot of people have asked me in the past if I have an online course, and until now I’ve not had a proper one. I didn’t know how to take everything I’ve learnt about maximising self promotion and put it into a nice little online course.
But my inbox on Insta always has messages from fellow illustrators who want to learn the ways i’ve gone about getting more eyes on my work and getting more clients, and info like this just ain’t out there for illustrators so I wanted to pour my knowledge into something that will help!
Artists are starting to catch up to other professions and realise that just posting on insta every day isn’t enough anymore and that ‘maximising self promotion’ is the way to go. So if you’re interested in learning exactly how to get out there and maximise then baby you in luck!
I’ve decided to teach a small number of students everything I know about maximising self promotion and help them put their best foot forward to get more clients and eyes on their work from the 19th July. That way I can hopefully really give some help to you guys who sign up!
Since it’s going to be a limited sized class, I’ve put together a special early-bird waitlist for anyone who is interested.
You can sign up for the early-bird waitlist below:

Before the course launches I’m going to release a FREE 6-part video series about maxisming self promotion and the upcoming online course.
I’ll be sharing all of my best methods as well as a ton of strategies, techniques and tactics that I’ve never posted about, so you don’t wanna miss out on this. You’ll also receive a special early-bird registration link one day before the online course launches to everyone else on the 19th July. So go drop your name and email into the sign up!
If you’re a fashion illustrator or illustrator in general, I really think this free 6-part video series is going to help you out. So pop your email in the sign up and get excited ohohoho.
My first ever client (that wasn’t a family friend wanting a portrait of their niece) was actually a pretty decent name to start off my client list! I remember I was in my final year at Falmouth university studying Fashion Photography, I always used to look at the #fashionillustrator on Twitter as I’d seen a few other illustrators reply to call outs on there and thought I’d keep my eye on it in case anything exciting came up!
Read MoreThe thought of drawing live at an event Is enough to scare even the most experienced fashion illustrators, put on top of that having an audience looking over you whilst you sketch and there’s already enough sweat in most illustrators palms that you won’t exactly be needing a water pot to be mixing your paints in…
