Professional Studies ( What is happening now? - What is happening in your region? )

When you are in the creative industry you need to know what is happening in the world of illustration, that could be a certain law movement that could inspire illustrators for work, a festival that might be going on for the creative industry's or even a certain trend of style of image that people have started to use, their will always be something going on in the creative community because with Britain currently highering 1.5 million people who work for the creative industry's their will be something to learn about. Right now one of the most popular ways to create illustration is En plein air and that is French for  in the open air and it means because it is spring people will be creating pieces that are outside of a scenery using warm vibrant colours, so knowing the colour and topic of your current season is a big part on what you need to know what is happening.http://www.jeremysams.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/creekside-path-plein-air.jpg

When you are a illustrator you not only need to know what is happening in the world of illustration but awards that are given to other types of work in the creative studys, such as the winner of the best animation at the Oscars, because for 2015s was Big Hero 6, the style of animation that is used can inspire people to come up with a new style of art work and topics they could create.http://images.fandango.com/ImageRenderer/0/0/redesign/static/img/default_poster.png/0/images/masterrepository/other/INTRO_Disney_BigHero6_guide.jpg
