Well it’s your lucky day. “How do I get portfolio reviews?” is the #1 question we get here on DearAD. Art Order was pioneering the online review system, but they have decided to focus on helping artists manufacture and publish, and have less time for development. And that’s great, you should check out all the projects they’re doing!

Meanwhile, the need for artists to get a set of professional eyes on their portfolios and their WIPs is still great. ADs run themselves ragged at conventions trying to give as many reviews as we can, but we can’t talk to everyone, and what about in-between cons? And what about the artists who can’t travel to cons?

So we’ve set up one of the founding Art Directors of Drawn + Drafted (and a secret agent here on DearAD) to roll out online access to professional help online. Zoë Robinson has over a decade as a professional Art Director and she’s available (at certain times) to talk to you about your work. Although her specialty is in Fantasy Art and the Gaming Industry, she is qualified to help artists of all types evaluate their work. Zoë is famous amongst us other art directors as a “finishing school” — she polishes up and recommends artists to other ADs constantly.

She’s set up a cool online booking tool and some test rates for a few tiers of contact for artists. I would take advantage now, because at those prices I think she’s going to be swarmed and need to charge more. 

Now, before you say “waitasec, why do we have to pay, portfolio reviews are free at cons!” think about this: Art Directors are not required to do portfolio reviews as part of our jobs. We do it as a service to the artist community. And those times we are at conventions we set aside the time as a time to give back and develop the next generation of artists. However, the rest of the time we have very busy jobs and are totally swarmed with the meat and potatoes work of Art Direction. For an AD to make themselves available to artists at their convenience is a rare opportunity. Take advantage while you can, before she gets overwhelmed! 

If this service works (aka artists use it and Zoë doesn’t get completely burnt out) then we’ll try to add more Art Directors to the system.

Get booking!
