      Howdy folks!

      Just looking for suggestions for where I could get a professional portfolio critique. I want to sign up for one particularly because my portfolio isn’t where I want it to be and signing up for a critique will put some pressure on me to start pumping out some illustrations. Thanks for any and all suggestions!

        @Griffin one of our fellow SVSers @NessIllustration does portfolio critiques as a part of her business

          @Griffin I recently asked the same question of my SCBWI local chapter. They do monthly manuscript critiques in small groups, and they said I could submit my illustration portfolio for general feedback there in the picture book group. Depending on how that goes, I may pick my top 3 for inclusion in the SCBWI illustration gallery, due at the end of July.

          I know Giuseppe Castellano from the Illustration Department offers crits, and I think @NessIllustration does too.

            @Valerie-Light SCBWI is where I looked first but in my local chapter it looks like they’re not doing critiques for the next couple of months. Thanks for the suggestions!

              @Griffin Hi, the illustration initiative with emily coggins does portfolio reviews. She is a former art director from astound agency. Thinking of getting one from her, she sounds quite good
