As someone else said, I agree with the new style of recording these videos! They're also very optimistic and helpful when I'm currently feeling hopeless with the progression of AI. I've been illustrating children's books for a couple years now but I want to branch out to middle-grade book covers or even board books or greeting cards and have no idea how to diversify my portfolio to "do it all" so your advice really simplified going about that for me - thank you very very much!!
Have watched this video 3 times and taken notes - something really clicked for me about how to build up my portfolio organically! So helpful, thank you :)
I adore all your videos, James. You're brilliant and hilarious and just really enjoyable to listen to and watch. And of course, the content is very, very useful. Thank you so much!
I just checked in my mind every single thing that you said. Done done done!!! So my time is coming I just need to keep doing it and be patient. Thanks for all your valuable information is my bible ❤
When i started i was all for childrens illustrations, books specially ... and i got a "cute"style, but now im felling i need more range, ild love to get into packing and others ...GREAT video Man ! i will be watching again and taking notes. Thanks
Great words of wisdom as always! I used to always focus on apparel design and got stuck in a pop-culture loop. I love doing pop-culture related stuff and have been doing more alternative movie posters (which have helped with learning how to draw people better) but you have made me realise that my portfolio really lacks animals and landscapes so maybe I need to add those in the mix too!
I really like the new funny way you record. Thank you so much for all this precious information and thoughts!🔥
My pleasure!

Yeah ok. They can be tied in to what you're already doing too. Plenty of movies with animals and landscapes!
Getting creative with the videos, love that for you :D
