Welcome to the Zero 2 Illo blog – if you have found this blog, it’s probably because you, like me, are an aspiring illustrator and are trying to break into the ever-more competitive world of professional illustration.
My Background
I’m currently a professional Graphic Designer (and have been for over 10 years now) and run the company Kinetiva alongside my wife as Location Independent Professionals. I have however always had the aspiration to follow my passion and become a full time Illustrator.
For many reasons (including self doubt, lack of confidence in my abilities and general procrastination) I’ve never made the leap, but now at 33 years young I’m tired of putting it off and have decided to get over myself and go for it.
The Purpose Of This Blog
This blog will serve as both a diary of my progress and a forum to share my experiences, learnings and mistakes – in the hope that it will provide inspiration and practical guidance to others on how to become a professional Illustrator.
