Look to the Movies: Our Debut Webinar
Published on 06/07/2023
Our recent webinar, Look to the Movies: How Character and Illustration Development is Influenced by Film, was a huge success. Thank you to everyone who attended and participated in this productive and intriguing event.
Our webinar was hosted by Advocate Art art director and ITSme Learning mentor, Bhavisha Patel, with guest speaker Advocate Art CEO, Edward Burns. We were also joined by Advocate Art Global Manager, Amanda Hendon for a Q&A session after the presentation. We had some insightful questions and participation from the audience. And Edward and Amanda shared their knowledge and experience in the industry, leading to a better understanding of how to advance a portfolio, and get an agent.
