Hi! I found this interesting video on youtube about "How to become a successful illustrator"
She's really funny and talks from experience.

Enjoy!

There is also part one where she talks a little bit about how she made it.

A company that makes uniforms contacted me for a job as illustrator!!
Yesterday I had the interview and now they want me to give them prices. It's not only to illustrate, but also to take part in the creative process of the clothes.
It's not some big designer but it's a start! ^^

I also spend my las Sunday sending 17 e-mails to agencies and magazines with no reply. I'll make new illustrations and try again.

Hey guys!

I was wondering if any of you knew of some opportunities for fashion illustrators? I'm a resent illustration graduate with a major interest in fashion(of course!) and I do fashion illustration, so I was looking for some work or what not where I can do that.

Thanks!!
