I have spoken to my foundation tutor, Jonny. He told me about doing a PGSE in teaching to be able to work as a teacher. Apparently LAU regularly takes on placements and knowing how the course runs is a huge help. From advice Huddersfield uni has a full time PGSE course which lasts a year. Thankfully, Huddersfield is middle ground for me, being in between Leeds and Sowerby Bridge.

I would like to work freelance alongside working as a higher education teacher. To fit this in with my life I may initially start by working full time as a teacher and making a small amount of work alongside. However, I would like my freelance work to be my number one priority so hopefully I would start getting more commissioned work and work as a teacher for less days. Being aware that freelance isn't always a solid amount of income, I believe teaching would always be something useful to have there as a continuous job.
Reflecting on my work, my career being entirely freelance my be quite difficult to begin with. After I have created my Frankenstein book and small comic for the 603 module, this might change and my path may lead more towards book/comic illustrations with a hint of editorial. Only time will tell. My current practice doesn't seem to currently fit into many guidelines that most companies would want with it being mostly based on character design. The idea of working for a company doesn't seem to suit me and I would personally rather have more control of my production.
