Part 1
The blog on this website advertises current exhibitions and includes book reviews and critical analyses of illustration. Reading these reviews will be particularly helpful when it comes to analysing my own and other people’s work as it is making me aware of different points to consider in the critiquing process. Reading these reviews also gives me the chance to agree or disagree with the opinions stated in the writing which is gradually making me more confident in forming my own opinions about illustration. The blog is regularly updated so the flow of information is current and relevant.
The portfolio section of the website is packed full of illustrator’s work which you can search through by a wide range of keywords. If I have a specific project I need to research for this will be invaluable for finding something relevant and from a trustworthy source. While browsing through the portfolios, I came across work I wouldn't usually search for and I feel that if I continue to do this, my knowledge of the discipline will broaden. I will post my findings on my PPP blog as my research continues.
The 2014 Illustration Award winners have spoken about their experiences of producing their competition entries and these were interesting to read through. It made me realise that even professional illustrators have to battle with the same struggles I face with my work such as responding to feedback, avoiding distraction and learning how to use technology. It is a journey of problem solving. Similar to the blog, there is a link to the Varoom magazine website which has a limited range of articles from the magazine to read through for free.
