New illustration FAQs pages launched on this site
As an illustrator I frequently get asked about what it’s like to do what I do. Questions come from school and illustration students through to people thinking of making a career change later on. I also hear from writers looking for artists to illustrate their stories as well as those working on ideas with creative collaborators.
As there is a demand out there I have decided to create a series of FAQs pages to answer some of the many and wide ranging questions that have been put to me.
I’m inviting people to E-mail Amanda with other illustration questions not already covered there. I’d also love to hear from you if you are in another part of the industry and have a different experience that you’d like added. I’ll try my best to answer any new questions by adding them to this page on a fairly regular basis, depending on my workload at the time.
