Studio Hours Sessions

Edward offers one-on-one, one hour consulting sessions via Zoom for illustration students, working illustrators, and anyone seriously pursuing art professionally or as a creative practice.

Whether you're building a portfolio, working through a specific project, figuring out your next move as a freelancer, or looking for focused feedback on your concepts and technique — this is time set aside for exactly that. Come prepared with work or a project to discuss, questions, or a specific challenge, and Edward will give you his full attention and direct, practical feedback.

SESSIONS CAN COVER

  • Portfolio development and review

  • Concept development and idea generation

  • Technique and media questions

  • Professional development and career direction

  • Freelance practice and client relationships

Each session is one hour and is most effective when you come with a specific focus — a project to discuss, a portfolio question, a decision you're working through, feedback you need, or a technique you want support with. Think of it as a focused conversation designed to give you real traction and useful direction.
