JULIA FREUND MTP2 week1 2

Create five stunning pitches for your very own art-led games and toys – like this one by Make Art That Sells student Julia Freund. Read more and register here.

And even though My Toy Pitch is now a self-paced course, course leaders and art agents Lilla and Riley will be hosting a LIVE review on Friday, August 12th. This means that they’ll look at every single piece of art submitted to the class gallery by the submission deadline, Sunday, July 31st, and pick some of their favorites to review in a LIVE Zoom event. It’s an incredible opportunity to find out how two art agents view toy and game pitches (as well as getting your art in front of them!), to learn a ton, and to find out how to make your own pitch really pop, even if your art isn’t picked.

PLUS Riley will be choosing one lucky student for a live private 1:1 with him to really work on their pitch – in case you haven’t met Riley yet, he’s the creator of the smash-hit Sneaky Snacky Squirrel Game and has decades of experience in the toy and game industry. This is an incredible opportunity to work directly with a seasoned industry expert on your very own pitch – don’t miss out!

Your own toy could be as simple as creating an adorable new plush toy character – like this pitch by Make Art That Sells student Jacqui Langeland.

A. Absolutely! You’ll learn how you can leverage existing kid-friendly art that you may already have in your portfolio (especially if you’ve done any of Lilla’s other courses, like Illustrating Children’s Books) and use to update classic public domain games such as memory match, checkers or puzzles. Plus Lilla and Riley lead you through the whole process in a step by step way that’s hugely inspiring and never overwhelming – once you get started, you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve!
