Seven things I’ve done to Level up my Illustration Business in 2025
2025 has been such an amazing year for me so far; I can see a real development in both my art and my business. Here are some things I did to level up this year!
I paid for mentor sessions and courses. As illustrators our learning is never done. Katie, Jane
Pushed myself and experimented.
Done things which scared me.
I said no to jobs to make time for development. This is a scary one and obviously I am incredibly fortunate to be able to do this, but in order to grow you have to stop saying yes to quick fixes. It’s like cutting back the garden to make room for the light to flood in to those new shoots, it might look pretty bare and scary at first but soon things start to grow!
Reached out to past clients-I know, criiiiiiiinge. But it really has been very fruitful for me. Even if you’re just offering to do some free portfolio work for someone, it often leads to paid work in the end. People have bad memories, it’s ok to remind people you exist!
Taken time off
Started calling myself an illustrator
