Lilla here. Today I’m setting you a fun FREE illustration assignment that’s great for your illustration portfolio: design an illuminated letter. For the past few weeks, I’ve been sharing some playful mini assignments for you, to up your art game. If you missed out on the first two assignments, you can catch up on the MATS blog here.
