The Good Ship Illustration

Illustration trends vs your creative voice PLUS what materials to use


Listen Later

Two more chunky questions for this week's episode:

  1. “How do I choose the right materials and techniques when I love them all?”
  2. “How do I keep up with new tech and trends without hopping on every train and going bananas?”

It's a longer one this week! A podcast title that went in the bin was: Mouldy bingo dabbers: A love story. A moment of silence for that title. It woulda been great, but not very useful or searchable 😆

Alas.
