REad Editorial illustration success stories
Earlier this week, we shared just some of our former students’ success stories – find them here – and today we’re delighted to share Part 2.
Jemma Jamie Skidmore
Another repeat My Year of Art School student – she took it in both 2019 and 2020 – Jemma landed an incredible gig with Honest History magazine after taking Lilla’s very first editorial class.
Jemma says: “After taking the class, I was approached by Honest History magazine to do a cover, poster and spot illustrations. This was my first professional commission and if I hadn’t already taken the editorial class I would’ve been completely daunted. Lilla’s class taught me what to expect, how to negotiate and plan for what I needed. It was really invaluable and made the whole experience a complete joy.”

Jemma adds: “Every time I take a Make Art That Sells class I learn so much and feel myself growing and improving as an artist. Lilla is a kind and supportive teacher with the no nonsense attitude you need to make it as a professional. I just love those deadlines. I have also made some wonderful personal and professional connections. After ten years working in the film industry, Make Art That Sells has given me the framework, training and confidence to pursue my dream career as an illustrator.”

Angela Holland
Yet another repeat student (are you starting to notice a trend here?), Angela has taken multiple Make Art That Sells courses, including Illustrating Children’s Books, Assignment Bootcamp, Editorial LIVE, MATS MBA (Money BadAss) and more.
This piece of artwork by Angela was featured in Womankind magazine.
Angela recently had her art featured in both Womankind and Uppercase magazines. She says: “I’m so glad I did the Editorial art class. Thank you, Lilla – every time I think about it, I get a warm glow and in these difficult times, that’s so precious.”

Cass Urquhart
Yet another My Year of Art School fan – she took it in 2020 and has signed up again for 2021 – Cass told us that an illustration that she created during for Editorial LIVE was picked up and licensed for the Frankie magazine 2021 calendar.
Art by Cass which was created for Editorial LIVE and which was then licensed for the front cover of Frankie Magazine 2021 calendar. Book your place here.
Cass says: “The piece was for the warm up word that Lilla gave of ‘optimism’. I was so over the moon, and I’m so grateful for the class which pushed me to create this personal piece.”
