Hi Adam! It's really hard to get perspective on your own work, so whenever I've had mentor meetings, I like to ask them what's working in my portfolio, what isn't, and what I can do to improve and "level up." I know there are several people offering paid mentorships, but since I'm kind of cash poor at the moment, I try to find free or low cost portfolio reviews (like the ones held by Owen Davey). Looking forward to hearing others' questions and illoguild's thoughts on collaboration!
If you can form a critique group, you can get, and give good feedback to each other, the ability to give good feedback is valuable to other creatives and trains your own ability.
So your question is: How can I know what is good and what needs improving in your portfolio and where to find low cost portfolio reviews, I’ll bring that to the group :)
Oh, thanks, Adam! To be honest, I wasn't even asking those for the group, but now that you mention it, I'd love to hear what they say. I do have a critique group for illustration (we all met through a class too) and it has been very valuable. They always push me to be better!
