What a great book!

As someone starting out as an illustrator, I found this book incredibly valuable! It provides helpful insights into the industry, including how to add value for both clients and yourself. The author shares useful tips on building a portfolio, finding clients, and much more. He also has a really interesting YouTube channel that’s worth checking out if you’re unsure about spending your credit on the book.
