Art agent Lilla’s LIVE course Editorial LIVE: Illustrating for Magazines and More starts in just over a week, on Monday, 28th October. When we first ran this course, in May 2019, it sold out before it even officially launched, which is why we’re running it again now – don’t miss out, guarantee your space and book your spot now! Cover illustration for Flow magazine by Flora Waycott, represented by Lilla Rogers. What’s editorial? Broadly, it means anything having to do with text (words).

Sometimes in your editorial illustration career you’ll be asked to illustrate something straightforward, like gardening or shoes or a how-to, but other times

Want proof?
