See Lilla’s favorite art from our first quarterly Art Challenge!

Our first FREE quarterly Art Challenge kicked off on Friday, September 1st and we were thrilled that so many of you took part. Today we wanted to share art agent Lilla’s favorite art from the challenge, and, in case you missed it, let you know how you can take part in the next challenge. The assignment from Lilla was to create an Empress tarot card in just one week. Why did Lilla choose this assignment? She told us: “Tarot cards are in high demand, and publishers are searching for talented illustrators to bring them to life. This means that this assignment is a golden opportunity to showcase your skills, boost your portfolio and catch the attention of publishers. Plus they’re enormously enjoyable to create!” Lilla looked at every piece of art submitted before the deadline, and her favorite was by Nira Bar, who won a place on Illustrating Children’s Books.
