“You have to live spherically–in many directions. Never lose your childish enthusiasm–and things will come your way.”—Federico Fellini
Shadra Strickland shared this quote during our #HFGather Illustrator Chat, where Pat Cummings talked with Shadra and illustrator Sarah Jung about the agent-illustrator relationship. Some of the things they discussed:
- Giving/getting illustrator feedback
- Writing stories to go with your illustrations
- Illustrators who have a really good sense of storytelling
- “You must be able to take criticism in order to grow.”–Pat
- How to go about finding an agent, and the importance of checking their references
- Even if you have an agent, you need to advocate for yourself
- Staying dedicated to putting in the work
- Showing up and pushing your life forward
