We both Filipki want and are scared: “the teacher will drive him away, will the dog again get stuck or will it dry up in the throat”? But still run. We drew this notebook as part of the competition, it passed by the jury, but not the future Client, with whom we signed an annual contract for illustrating smm publications. And, on the one hand, the competition is a subjective matter - not always transparent criteria, lack of feedback, a flurry of applicants and mixed winnings. But on the other - the opportunity to replenish your portfolio with creative work, hone your style, find a support group, become part of the community and better understand the customer. Therefore, take part in contests, take the time to do this, and someone will definitely notice your work.
