Once people start seeing all the great work coming out of the Bootcamp course, they say, “Hey! I want in!”! Assignment Bootcamp 2019 started on February 4th and we’ve been blown away by the standard of work that our students are already sharing in their private Facebook group. Imagine getting an email from one of your favorite magazines saying they love your work! This piece by Kate Merritt that was included in the Flow calendar 2019. Illustrating illuminated letters was a mini assignment in a previous Bootcamp course. The first public gallery goes live TODAY so you can check it out for yourself – just click here. Every year when our first gallery goes live, we get masses of requests to reopen Bootcamp registration because people start seeing all the amazing art coming out of it, so we’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be re-opening registration for a super limited blink-and-you’ll-miss-it window from today until Friday. HURRY! We will close Bootcamp 2019 registration for good

Bootcamp 2019 #MATSPREP: Day Two
Welcome to Day 2 of your Assignment Bootcamp 2019 #MATSprep! If you missed Day 1, there’s still time to join in: find it here Gorgeous color is so key in getting you work, and today I have a fantastic way for you to come up with a fresh color palette! Let’s face it. We all tend to rely on our same colors, and with this download I’m pushing you to break out. Give it a try, and I encourage you to use colors you don’t normally.

If you’ve taken my courses, you know that I’m all about neutrals/muted colors, so for this I’m encouraging you to do 3 muted colors. One can be any kind you want, another is a light muted color, and the last is a dark muted color. (Just so you know, I’m using ‘muted’ and ‘neutrals’ interchangeably here.) Lilla’s tip no. 2: People tend to only use light
