Having started to look into internships, some of them require cover letters.
I have contacted my mentor for advice, as well as done additional research. Ellie particularly recommended advice from Thinking Animation, which I found helpful. I also looked into career resources from a number of discord servers I’m a part of.

To save myself time in the future, I decided to write a draft cover letter that I could alter depending on the company and the position I was applying for. It makes future applications a lot less daunting and I’m glad I spent some time doing that.

Future me will definitely thank me.

I attended an online event with Anna Hollinrake whose work I absolutely love. I met her and came across her work during MCM last year and followed their work since. I managed to get both prints signed, too! Anna was absolutely the nicest person ever. This just proves that even just a convention might get you new clients and people excited about your work.

So, I was super excited when I found out they were doing a webinar. It focused on game illustration, but I definitely feel all of her advice could be applied to any other form or genre of art. As well as this, animation is still present in games and this might be an avenue I’ll look into.
