Curated Know-How

Favourite Substacks

Every Friday at Art School, we used to have professional practice lectures. In our third year, I created a professional practice folder filled with useful advice for joining the illustration world. This has sat neatly organised in a storage box.

Fast forward to now. I've been gathering lots of know-how from Substack and The Good Ship Illustration: Find Your Creative Voice and Business Course and adding it to my Freeform boards. This week, I had a lightbulb moment and thought... I should share these.

Today, I’m starting with my favourite Substacks: creative people who are sharing insights, wisdom, and know-how.

Lovely creatives included in my free downloadable board:

P.S. Just a quick note! This post was meant for Friday, but when the draft found its way to your inbox on Wednesday, I decided to go with it. Happy accidents 😊
