How can you land representation with top art agency Lilla Rogers Studio? It’s something that we get asked a lot. And the short and easy answer is that every live Make Art That Sells course is an incredible opportunity to get your art directly in front of art agent Lilla Rogers: she’s always on the lookout for new talent! Lilla looks at every single piece of art submitted to the class galleries when she’s preparing for the live class reviews, and she also loves to keep an eye on the private class Facebook groups and see all your beautiful work in progress. So if you take her classes, then she’s going to see your art. Why does she love scooping up students from Make Art That Sells courses? Because she knows they’ll have really strong portfolios to get work for top markets. In fact, since Make Art That Sells was

Which track should you choose?

What should you show in your portfolio? FREE download!

Lilla here. As an agent, one thing that I get asked all the time is: what should I show in my portfolio in order to get illustration jobs? Artists say to me: “Lilla, I’ve just finished art school, and I have a load of life drawings and abstracts, but what do I actually NEED?” My whole thing is about diversification. In other words, the secret to a successful art career is just like a financial stock portfolio: you don’t know what’s going to give you a ton of work or what art markets going to go up or down, so you need to diversify your investments. That’s why I often talk about having many eggs in many baskets – don’t focus all your energy and efforts on one art market, but tackle several at the same time. That’s what will give you the best returns and make your career more

Don’t miss it – our most popular, most addictive course is BACK!

Assignment Bootcamp: Portfolio is now open for registration! In a recent public Zoom event, art agent Lilla described Assignment Bootcamp: Portfolio as “affordable and fun”, which by weird coincidence is also my Tinder bio. But where Assignment Bootcamp: Portfolio has the edge is that it will help you crank out some gorgeous, on-trend artwork for your portfolio that can land you jobs and maybe even representation (including with Lilla – she’s always looking for new talent in class). Make Art That Sells student Brian Lambert was offered an illustration gig after a publisher spotted this character he created for Assignment Bootcamp: Portfolio on his Instagram account – and then shortly after that he landed representation with art agent Lilla too! Over three months, from August to the end of October, you’ll get something every single Monday that all adds up to help you make three brilliant bang-up-to-date portfolio pieces geared

Your final #MATSprep assignment: Put it all together!

Lilla here. Oh, man, you are a whole bunch of brilliant artists! You delight me with your imagination, sensitivity, talent. I’ve loved seeing all the art you’ve created over the past couple of weeks for this MATSprep. I love to teach my intensive live courses, like Illustrating Children’s Books, for exactly that reason: it’s amazing to see how the work blossoms over the five jam-packed weeks. The passion and achievement of our students are awe-inspiring. I hope that you’ve enjoyed taking part in this free #MATSprep as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it and seeing all your beautiful art. It gives you a taste of my teaching style, to see if it’s a good fit, and it’s also a great way to warm up and get ready for Illustrating Children’s Books, which starts NEXT MONDAY, May 23rd. Don’t forget, this course won’t run again until 2023 – don’t miss out:
