April 2017 Bootcamp Gallery is now Live!

The second gallery from our 2017 Make Art That Sells: Assignment Bootcamp class is now live! You can view it here I really want you to see the magnificent work that the students (of all levels) have created. The gallery features over 450 pieces of original art inspired by the April class assignment… to design a mindmap for the editorial market. This was a very different, much more personal kind of assignment where the students used a journaling exercise and corresponding imagery from the mini-assignment to create a mindmap of their personal courage. There was so much fabulous work submitted in response to this brief, and we love the ongoing supportive energy in the Bootcamp community. What a generous, talented group of artists they are! CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE APRIL GALLERY! *** Graduates of our courses have gone on to win work from clients such as Hallmark, Robert Kaufman Fabrics, Oopsy Daisy, Uppercase

Between working

Land your dream job! 6 Fabulous tips for illustrating a children’s book

What’s amazing about our children’s book illustration course is how the work blossoms over the five jam-packed weeks. I love to teach our intensives for exactly that reason. The passion and achievement of our students are awe-inspiring. What kind of children’s picture books would you like to illustrate? Today I’m going to show you student work from Week 4 of Illustrating Children’s Books which I co-teach with the very fun and highly respected children’s book art director, Zoë Tucker. The theme of Week 4 is Environment. Students are tasked with creating a scene from their text. At this point, they have already developed their character and now they get to place their character in a setting. TIP 1: Make a magical little world with lots of details that the child can explore over and over again, as Maria has done here. Doing research is a great way of making the
