You simply can’t trust that a piece you create will always show up on your portfolio or instagram feed, where it can be closely linked with your contact details. If you’re lucky, and your piece is popular, it’ll wind up on pinterest, tumblr, twitter, etc, and rest assured, you can’t trust anyone, not even billionaire philanthropists, to assign proper credit.

Prompt Party! December 2018 assignment
Prompt Party! December 2018 assignment

As many of you know, I run the Prompt Party account over on instagram. It’s a year old as of last month! It started out as weekly prompts, but a week isn’t always enough time to do portfolio-ready work, especially if you’re busy. It was always my intention to create something that you can jump in and out of from week to week, but after running a poll in my instagram stories, it seems that what’s best for people is fewer, more thoughtful assignments.

The 2018 Global Talent Search
The 2018 Global Talent Search

If you’re reading this, you probably know that I was one of the winners of the Lilla Rogers Studio 2018 Global Talent Search. My life has been an absolute whirlwind since then, but I thought I’d share my thoughts on the competition—what it was like to compete, and what it takes to win—while it’s still reasonably fresh in my mind.

🎪Here’s my #PortfolioClub assignment! I recently re-listened to the audiobook of Coraline, so my mouse circus is loosely inspired by that. I initially planned to include Coraline, but as I was thumbnailing, this composition jumped out at me. Like my last piece, this piece is a mix of traditional and digital techniques. I'll share the process in my stories. . 🐅Special thanks to @louve.draws for July’s prompt. The August prompt will come from @juliachristiansde and @kathryndurst, so be sure to check out their feeds on the 1st. If you miss it, check my stories. I will save the assignment for you. . About #PortfolioClub: . PortfolioClub is a low-commitment challenge that you can take your time with. Each themed assignment will be developed by one or two art/illustration professionals. We’ll post an assignment on the first day of every month. You post your final on the last day of the month. Follow #PortfolioClub to get updates, and use the hashtag so that everyone can see your piece. .

Totally unplanned sketch in traditional media. Scary stuff. I went in thinking I was gonna draw a cat in a chair, but then grandma happened, so that was a pleasant surprise. 👵🐱 . @panpastel and @carandache Supracolor on @bee_paper, finished in @procreate.

I completely forgot to share this sketch I did when I went camping a few weeks ago. When I started it was really sunny, but of course a cloud came along and blocked the sun just as I took the picture. 👉 Swipe to see more pics of this gorgeous place, as well as my supplies and the bench I sketched from. .

Here's my second assignment for the @makeartthatsells Illustrating Children's Books class. Just to mix things up, I also tried a colored pencil version, which you may have seen in my stories, but I still need to clean it up. . . . . . #illo #illustratorsoninstagram #illustratorsofinstagram #illustrationartists #childrensbookillustration #bookillustration #kidlit #kidlitart #picturebook #best_of_illustrations #illustrator #illustration #illustrationart #illustrationartist #illustrated #illustracion #dessin #dessinateur #illustrazione #procreateart #lillarogers #ipadartist #matsicb #matsicb6 @procreate
I'm very busy with client work this month but I'm still doing my best to make time for the Illustrating Children's Books class from @makeartthatsells. If you've been following me for a while, you won't be surprised that this is my fourth time taking the class! It's taught by my indomitable agent, @lillarogers, and the super clever, @zoe_tucker_design. This piece is from Zoë's text, Greta and the Wolves, which is inspired by @gretathunberg's activism. It's a lovely story about the power of resistance, and I hope to see it published someday, regardless of who illustrates it (but I would certainly love to)! . . . . . #illo #illustratorsoninstagram #illustratorsofinstagram #illustrationartists #childrensbookillustration #bookillustration #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlit4climate #picturebook #best_of_illustrations #illustrator #illustration #illustrationart #illustrationartist #illustrated #illustracion #dessin #dessinateur #illustrazione #procreateart #lillarogers #ipadartist #matsicb #matsicb6 #gretathunberg #activism @procreate

You post your final on the last day of the month. Follow #PortfolioClub to get updates, and use the hashtag so that everyone can see your piece. Feel free to post wips and sneak peaks throughout the month too. Easy peasy. . 🎨 Each themed assignment will be developed by one or two art/illustration professionals. Many will tackle different markets, so you can jump in or out from month-to-month as inspiration strikes. . 🎉 #PortfolioClub is: @jennifermpotter, @juliachristiansde, @kathryndurst, @devonholzwarth, @sinulee, @carolinebonnemuller, @tanja_stephani, @sofiamoore_studio, @rachaelschaferdesigns, @sandiesonke, @laure_illustrations, @louve.draws, @matejalukezic, @nicallanart, @debrastyer, and @kellyannedalton . . . . . #illo #illustration #illustrator #illustrationartists #artchallenge #illustrationchallenge #artprompts #prompts #characterdesign #visualstorytelling #childrensbookillustration #ilustración #kidlitart #illustrated #illustracion #illustrazione #illustratorsofinstagram #illustrationartists #illustragram #illustrate #illust #editorialillustration #surfacepattern #surfacepatterndesign #dessin #patterndesign
