Reviews for Becoming a Successful Illustrator

I think it’s a great book, exactly the kind of thing that you need when you are starting out in illustration, really informative and helpful. * David Roberts, illustrator * This is a comprehensive book, and along with its glossy pages and accessible layout, it’s a winner for anyone you know, including students, seriously considering the profession. * Digital Arts * [The authors] understand their subject and audience perfectly and do a wonderful job in communicating one to the other. * Dwayne Bell, Lecturer in Graphic Design and Illustration, University of Cumbria * I never make my students buy books, unless they are books they’ll keep on their shelves after graduating. This is one of those exceptions * Marius Valdes, University of South Carolina, USA *
