Rejection... again
I opened my email and found another rejection letter from an illustration agency. At this point, it's useless to keep fishing in that river. I'm starting to think that I need to really improve my work or something... To be honest, I'm not even really sure. My ego isn't as bruised as last time, but my gut is telling me to elevate my art to a new level. I have to get better and quickly.
In the interest of improving and keeping my sanity, I'm going to start posting some sketches here on this blog. That's the only true method of getting better---it's the only way I know how to accomplish that. Besides, other than those card samples, I haven't posted any sketches in a while. I figure with enough movement, I should be able to start seeing results. I need to add to my portfolio anyway. Consider it an overhaul because I want to make art that people can't ignore.
Back to the drawing board, as they say.

Who knows their reasons? It may have just been that they were looking for a different style. Still, it's always good to stay on top of your game and try to better yourself.
@TheyCallHerEcho88 - It's a weird thing because I look at the work displayed on their web sites and it's definitely stylized. Wondering if I should change my style up... Sht. Hey, but you're absolutely right. It doesn't hurt to stay on top of my game.
I think Maurice Sendak said that as an illustrator you had to be able to wallpaper your bedroom with rejection slips before you could really expect to have work accepted
C'est la vie.
