2017 in review and goals for next year - life of an illustrator

December 26, 2017 Romica Spiegl

Hello, 

in this video, I share a review of my year in the life of illustrator 2017, talk about what I have accomplished and what my goals are for next year for my career as an illustrator and my personal goals. I will talk about the classes I have taken during the year that really helped me to get a deeper understanding of children's book illustration and a portfolio building course both my Make Art That Sells. You can find a video review of my experience of the children's book course in the links below. Furthermore I joined the SCBWI or Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, and I talk about the different competitions I have joined and my application at the bright agency. I really hope that sharing my journey can inspire those of you who would like to work in illustration and especially children's book illustration.

I wish you a wonderful new year and look forward to hearing from you.

Stay joyful,
Romica
