Course Description
Your portfolio is the single most powerful tool in your illustration career. It’s more than just a collection of artworks — it’s your professional voice, your business card, and the doorway to exciting opportunities. Yet many illustrators either overload their portfolio with everything they’ve ever drawn, or undersell themselves by leaving out their strongest work.
In this session, you’ll learn how to curate and present your portfolio so it truly reflects your strengths, speaks to the right clients, and opens doors to professional growth. We’ll explore both online portfolios (websites, social media, digital presentations) and offline tools (print portfolios, postcards, promo pieces).
You’ll discover:
-
What clients really want to see in a portfolio today.
-
How to curate your work to showcase range without overwhelming.
-
Common mistakes illustrators make — and how to avoid them.
-
The art of storytelling through sequencing your projects.
-
Tips for confidence: presenting your portfolio in meetings and online.
-
How to tailor your portfolio for different types of clients (publishers, agencies, direct clients).
By the end, you’ll know how to build a portfolio that doesn’t just show your art — it sells your skills and attracts the right opportunities.
