Master of Trade: Jessica Peffer

For research on the Master of Trade I decided to write about Jessica "NeonDragon" Peffer because I know a lot about her and bought her How To Draw books, also a fan of dragons which is one of the main reasons. So here is my blog presentation.

Background

• She was born in Feb 1983 OhioShe's a freelance illustrator who publishes comics and illustrate fantasy creatures, mainly dragons from looking at her Dragonart books.

Career

• She's a freelance artist but has made indie comics and books to sell. She has made three How to Draw books. Even has an online store to sell prints and products featuring her artwork.

Why is she a master of trade?

• Because she focus the target audience that want to learn how to draw fantasy creatures and big fans of dragons. So she publishes books, comics and online tutorials for artists to learn
• She uses a variety of media and does a lot of research on animals to build a mythical creature in her style of illustration.
• Jessica had made her latest new website for a new project called Flight Rising
• Obviously gets in touch with people she knows or fans when doing a streamline to show her working on her illustrations.
• Her work is favored largely towards fans of fantasy and illustration. 
• On her website she has a discussion forum to chat with people of certain things than just her art. Other social websites she can be contacted are Facebook, Twitter and Livejournal 

What I can tell is she knows her market and takes time to chat with her fans and followers of what they like to see of new projects and has a lot of contacts to help her projects being made .

                    

Looking at her work I have been a fan of her artwork, made an influence of wanting to get into illustration of fantasy and sci fi. She works well with the media and equipment, giving tips to the fans of learning new ways of drawing. Knows what her target likes and wants to attract their attention.
