Cuppa and Story with Emily Coggins. A great chat for Illustrators thinking about their portfolio and storytelling in their work. It was so interesting to have a cuppa and talk about stories with @the_illustration_initiative founder Emily Coggins. It is so inspiring to hear what Emily has to say about Style, Storytelling and how she approaches working with Illustrators and helping them with their portfolio.
