Read how MATS changed these students’ lives

We often talk about how Make Art That Sells courses are career-changing. Today we want to share how they changed the lives of three artists. Sometimes it can be a little lonely being an illustrator, right? Working by yourself for hours on end. That’s why we think one of the very best things about Make Art That Sells courses is – well – YOU. Our Make Art That Sells community. More than 30,000 students from across the globe, from dozens of countries and both hemispheres, who have come together with one aim: to make better art and to make money from doing it. And at the same time, they’ve created something else too: a global community of creatives just like you, who can give advice on works in progress, share tips on everything from which brushes to use to how to format a contract, sympathise with frustrations and celebrate successes.
