Illustration Portfolio Consultation
In this consultation, you will send me 4 projects (which can include multiple artworks per project) for me to review, I’ll provide written feedback on each project as a whole, outlining where your strengths are and how to bring your whole body of work up to the same standard.
I’ll also suggest industries (such as editorial, packaging, book design etc.) that you should target with your work - all put together in a single document for you to review.
Michael Arnold Studio
I’m an experienced, self-taught Illustrator working across multiple industries, from Branding to Advertising and Packaging to Editorial. Early in my career (and later too) I fell into every mistake possible as I tried to break into the industry; I’ve charged to low, I’ve taken on too much work and struggled with creative block. And in all this time I’ve developed a lot of successful practices that have ensured I’ve been able to make good living in this business.
I’ve been featured on It’s Nice That, Creative Boom, Lecture In Progress, The Dieline - and worked with clients such as The Ritz-Carlton, Apple, Somersby Cider, Bigibo Snacks, J2O, Samsung, The Washington Post, Penguin Books and more.
Any questions, feel free to reach out to michaelarnoldstudio@gmail.com
💌 How it works:
Once you’ve made the one-off payment you will be asked to submit your email and I will be in touch directly with next steps on how to submit your work.
When selecting work for me to review try to choose a varied selection of projects that show me a good overview of your entire portfolio with a brief outline of the project, client or idea so I can give you the most constructive feedback possible.
I’ll then give you an estimated timeline of when you will receive feedback and you will receive a comprehensive document with your work and the feedback.
