What does a fashion illustration intern do?
As a fashion illustration intern, you will be assisting a fashion illustrator in their day to day tasks.
You may think that a fashion illustration internship will involve lots of drawing, but this is not the case as a fashion illustrator is known for their own unique drawing style, something an intern will not be able to replicate. To ensure creativity is at the heart of the internship, Elyse Blackshaw will provide you with portfolio mentorship.
You may also assume that a fashion illustrator draws all the time, but a huge part of their day to day role in the modern day is business, content creation and marketing. This is something every freelance creative needs to learn.
What tasks can you expect to do:
Updating contact / client lists
Research content creation ideas & supporting content creation
Creating products mock ups
Supporting events or workshops if happening during your internship
Creating pitches to clients
Do fashion interns get paid?
Whilst an internship with Elyse Blackshaw is unpaid, in exchange for your time she will provide you with one to one mentoring, portfolio guidance and feedback. The days, timings and length of internship will be discussed and mutually agreed. Elyse guarantees respect, fairness, and support.
What should I wear to a fashion internship?
Be your authentic self. Wear something that makes you feel comfortable.
