Mentoring and Portfolio Reviews  

Let's take a look at your portfolio! 

You can submit up to 15 images or a link to your website.  I will provide you with clear advice on how to improve in areas of composition, color, value, storytelling aspects and Narrative.

I specialize in children's picture books. MG and YA covers.

Portfolio reviews live via a 45 minute zoom meeting ($65).  This is a great chance to discuss your plans to become a children's book illustrator.

"I just had a portfolio review with @Olgachildrensillustrator, That was so Precious!

Remember when an editor told you the values are wrong or you should work more in this one but you don't know how?

Olga show you exactly how to do it!"
