Handsome Frank Presents an Insider's Guide to Illustration with Tim McDonagh, Malika Favre and Paul Pensom provides an insight into the illustration process and offers unique advice from both sides of the fence – the illustrator and the art director.

First up, illustrator Tim McDonagh (D&AD New Blood winner and Pick Me Up 2012 exhibitor) will share his work processes – from thumbnail through to the final piece – and his experiences of leaving university to find work, plus give advice on what other illustrators can expect along the way.

Malika Favre (formerly of Airside) has established herself as one of the most highly sought after and successful illustrators working in the UK. She'll tell us about her work, influences and offer tips for those seeking to emulate her success.

Finally, we'll look at the commissioning process with Creative Review Art Director Paul Pensom (StudioPensom). Paul will share his insights into the collaboration process, garnered from twenty years' experience of commissioning editorial illustration.

Doors open at 6.30pm and the presentation starts at 7pm, followed by a question and answer session led by Handsome Frank founders Jon Cockley and Tom Robinson.

So come along, hang out and meet some interesting creative talents!
