THE PROCESS
ELEVATE YOUR ART: PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO REVIEWS
Following the initial review of your portfolio, it’s recognised that with a little bit of guidance, your work has the potential to become industry standard.
WHAT WILL THE REVIEW CONSIST OF?:
With every artist, styles, mediums and techniques will vary. Fortunately, here at Big Red Illustration, we have a collection of professional copy artists, all of whom are skilled in replicating any style you can mention.
It is these artists who will take your original pieces and elevate them to the required professional level, highlighting and describing in detail to accompany layered photoshop / illustrator files, showing you exactly what needs to be practised and added to your work.
Each review is totally bespoke and often the missing part from your journey from being a talented hobbyist to a professional illustrator.
* Please note, however harsh it may seem if we don’t see any potential in an artist’s work, we will, unfortunately, reject the submission, and no review will be offered.
WHAT TO DO NEXT:
To book your review, please make the required payment, and we’ll get your studio time allocated asap to be completed within 7 days.

HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY REVIEW?
Our expert panel of illustrators will carefully evaluate each submission and provide tailored recommendations for improvement.
The artist will receive a Portfolio Review Feedback Sheet, along with a layered PSD or AI file, highlighting specific areas for refinement and demonstrating the techniques needed to elevate their work to industry standards.
This feedback is fully customised for each artist, focusing on the key areas that require development to achieve professional quality.

A Game-Changer for My Illustration Career
From the very beginning, Big Red Illustration has been the foundation of my freelance success. Their professional setup, exceptional service, and unwavering support over the years have truly been invaluable.
The initial portfolio review was a turning point – it provided me with clear direction, expert feedback, and a refined approach to presenting my work. Following that, their personal website design service gave me a sleek, professional online presence that perfectly showcased my illustrations and made it easy for clients to find and connect with me.
One of the most powerful tools has been the ‘share’ option to the LinkedIn company page. This feature allowed me to reach a wider audience, gain visibility, and establish valuable industry connections that have led to incredible opportunities.
Without Big Red’s expertise, guidance, and services, I genuinely don’t think I would have made it as a freelance illustrator. Their support has been second to none, and I can’t recommend them highly enough to any illustrator looking to build a successful career.

Big Red Illustration: The Key to My Freelance Success
Stepping into the world of freelance illustration can be daunting, but thanks to Big Red Illustration, my journey has been nothing short of incredible. Their expertise and dedication have provided me with the essential tools and exposure to build a thriving career.
From the outset, I was really fortunate that Big Red Illustration recognised my work as being ‘already of the commercial standard’, so a portfolio review wasn’t necessary. Instead, their focus was on creating a bespoke website that would help me attract and convert clients. This turned out to be a game-changer – having a clean, professionally designed online presence not only showcased my work beautifully but also made it far easier for potential clients to engage with me. It’s not just about the quality of your work; how you present yourself matters just as much – and Big Red Illustration made sure I had the perfect platform to do just that.
…another of the most impactful aspects of Big Red’s services is their ‘share’ option to the LinkedIn company page. This feature has significantly increased my visibility, connecting me with industry professionals and opening doors to exciting opportunities I never would have accessed on my own.
Looking back, I can confidently say that without Big Red’s guidance and support, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
Their services have been the foundation of my success, and I highly recommend them to any illustrator looking to elevate their career.
