Q. Why take Assignment Bootcamp: Lettering with Lilla?
A. Before she was an art agent, Lilla enjoyed a thriving career as a full-time artist who made a living from her illustrations and lettering. And in this unique course, she’ll share everything she knows with you.
Some of Lilla’s lettering gigs from her days as a full-time illustrator in NYC when her clients included Rolling Stone magazine, Vogue and Barneys New York, plus a spread from her Uppercase magazine column. She’s designed this course to help you get paid lettering jobs like these – sign up here.
Plus you’ll get to create a unique reference guide of font types and styles, learn how to come up with your own gorgeous style, and create some beautiful art for your portfolio that’s designed to help you get paying gigs.
Lilla says: “Lettering is fantastic for your career and can get you a ton of work. I created this course because I wanted to encourage you to experiment with different styles of lettering, to find your own unique style, and to fill your illustration portfolio with beautiful artwork designed to get you paying jobs.”
In Lilla’s signature teaching style, she’ll break it all down so it’s never overwhelming, and she’s got plenty of surprises up her sleeve to keep you motivated and engaged all the way.

And I wanted to make a fun course that would entice you to fall in love with lettering.”
