1 Hr Portfolio feedback for Aspiring & Self-Taught Children’s Book Illustrators

Are you teaching yourself illustration and wondering if you’re building the right kind of portfolio for children’s publishing?

Many talented artists struggle not because they lack skill — but because they lack direction. The children’s book industry has specific expectations when it comes to storytelling, character development, and portfolio structure.

In this voice recorded one-hour critique, I review your submitted work through the lens of a working children’s book illustrator and provide clear, actionable feedback on how to move forward.

We’ll focus on:

• Whether your work reads as children’s publishing

• Character emotion and storytelling clarity

• Consistency across multiple pieces

• Composition and visual flow

• What to refine, remove, or expand

• Concrete next steps to strengthen your portfolio

You will receive a full voice recording of the critique so you can revisit the feedback anytime.

This session is ideal for:

• Self-taught illustrators seeking professional direction

• Students choosing a path within illustration

• Artists building their first children’s book portfolio

• Creatives preparing to approach publishers or agents
