Review and reflect on your current practice to identify where it sits within the identified creative industries in which illustration exists:
When looking at this list, the one that stands out the most to me is Character & Narrative. I have always been someone who loves to sit and draw character after character in my sketchbook, and that seems to be all that i love doing in my spare time. Over the course of this year I am looking to further my skills and learn how to draw more diverse characters because I think that's what I need to take my practice even further.
Although I have a clear view in my mind over which one stands out to me the most, there are other parts of this list which pique my interest too.
Publishing & Book Design
I really love the idea of doing book covers and children's illustration. I think it would be something that my work would aesthetically fit into quite easily. I also really love making up stories and I think that this goes hand in hand with the Character & Narrative bracket.
Product & Packaging
Retail & Merchandising
These two are also something that I think I would like to look at in more detail over the course of this year. I think that with my designs being so structurally 'cute' it would be nice to try and play my hand at making different things with this. Packaging is something that I think I would like to have a go at, and also Merchandising my artwork so that I get a wider audience and start to gain some money would be good too.
All in all, I think that although I seem to lean towards staying in the Character & Narrative bracket there are other breadths of illustration that I would like to try my hand at.
