Throughout my time on this course I have taken on projects from vastly different areas of illustration to varying degrees of success. Whilst I am very keen on creating editorial work, with one of my career goals being to get work in the Guardian, ultimately character and narrative are the driving force behind my practice.
I feel that this love of character and narrative is most prevalent within my Tory Chums and Beyond La La Land, the former of which has been very well received. That is largely why I decided to focus on my Tory Chums work for my final project. Another aspect of my practice is that I want it to help and inform people. My Tory Chums work, whilst satirical and offensive in places is also quite informative as well.
My character work has improved drastically over the past academic year as I become more comfortable with the process of illustration I use, however I will continually have to investigate this area of illustration to keep my practice improving.
My goal as an illustrator is to become a self publisher, making enough money to support myself, whilst also working on projects that I enjoy and help people. I understand that there will be difficulties on the way and I may have to shelve the dream for a few years whilst my skills continue to improve, but I will make them happen with the knowledge I have gained over the past few years.
