EXCITING NEWS for lettering fans!

Lilla here. One of my favorite courses (they’re all my favorite), Assignment Bootcamp: Lettering, starts Monday, June 8th, and I can’t wait to see what art you create this year! This will be the third time I’ve taught this class. I’ve been passionate about lettering ever since I did penmanship in third grade, and when I was an illustrator I paid my bills thanks in part to my lettering. My goal for this course is to make you fall in love with and feel very comfortable drawing all kinds of lettering styles. The ability to do lettering was one thing I always looked at when I was viewing an artist’s portfolio as an art agent. Why?
