Can you be an illustrator with children and a job?
Manage episode 462897376 series 2813027
Chelsea asked us: "Would love some advice goal-wise for those of us still holding part-time jobs and two small kids under five, trying to transition to an illustration career. Is it even possible? I'm feeling impatient and a bit trapped."
We chat about:
- Why “slow and steady” beats high-pressure goals.
- Low-pressure ways to carve out creative time (even with little ones around).
- How parenting can inspire your creative work.
- The importance of being kind to yourself and how to keep drawing.
- Why editorial illustration might not be the best fit right now.
Links Mentioned
- Find Your Creative Voice, Fly Your Freak Flag Course doors are open!
- Check out Polly Dunbar’s lovely illustrations: Polly Dunbar on Instagram
- Freebies for illustrators on our website: The Good Ship Illustration Freebies
p.s. Good Ship Illustration News
