Lilla art on assignment lettering

Get your FREE lettering download!

Lilla here. I’m so excited to share a FREE example of some of the content you’ll get in my lettering course, Assignment Bootcamp: Lettering, which starts Monday, September 8th. BIG NEWS! I’ve concocted a wild new approach for five of the assignments you’ll get in Assignment Bootcamp: Lettering: I’ve pretended that I’m a creative director who is commissioning you with some very cool jobs! Having been on the receiving end of job commissions for decades, it turns out I have a knack for being a fake creative director creating fake jobs! And although the jobs are just pretend, they are tuned in to current lettering needs in the marketplace and will be phenomenal for your portfolio. I give specifics, fantastic lettering styles to follow, and sometimes color palettes and more. I hope they make you giggle, but also motivate you to draw while teaching you tons. I had so much

Find out what this student thought about Lilla Rogers’ Inner Circle

Inner Circle – small group mentoring with illustrator and former top art agent Lilla Rogers – is BACK, with a brand new intensive starting this September. But hurry HURRY – places are limited, and it won’t run again until late 2026! Lilla told us: “I’m so incredibly excited about Inner Circle small group mentoring. It’s a chance for me to do what I love most: closely mentor a small group of artists and help them reach the next level. So many artists crave individual guidance, and with my decades of experience as an agent and teacher, I know exactly how to help people make their work more true to themselves, more gorgeous, and more lucrative. That’s what lights me up.” But what does getting mentored by Lilla really look like? And what can it do for you and your creative career? We caught up with Ilana Diamond, who took part

What did our students really think about Inner Circle?

For 30 years, top art agent Lilla Rogers nurtured and brought out the best in the dozens of artists she represented via her innovative art agency. Now that her agency has closed, she’s free to do the same for a small select group of students in a small group mentoring intensive, Inner Circle. The first round of Inner Circle has just finished, and we were keen to find out what the participants – just 12 artists – thought of the experience. What did they think of Lilla’s mentoring style? And – crucially – was it worth it? Inner Circle will be running once more in 2025, for six weeks from September 29th, and places are extremely limited and going fast. This is the last time this intensive will run until late 2026, so if you want in, sign up now. Scroll down to find out how these students found the
