Tisha Lee
Tisha managed a double whammy after catching both art agent Lilla and children’s book art director Zoë’s eye in Illustrating Children’s Books. Lilla offered her representation, while Zoë scooped her up to illustrate Love Grows Everywhere by Barry Timms, for which Zoë was art director.
Two gorgeous full page spreads from Love Grows Everywhere by Barry Timms, illustrated by Make Art That Sells student Tisha Lee and art directed by Make Art That Sells co-teacher Zoë Tucker.
This is the fabulous character Tisha created for Illustrating Children’s Books …

Erin Vanessa

Here’s another example of never knowing where art you create in class will end up: a toy concept that Erin came up with for Assignment Bootcamp is being turned into a gorgeous picture book, which will be released in 2023.
Here’s a little sneak peek of Erin’s stunning artwork from her forthcoming book …

Like Tisha above, Brian didn’t just catch Lilla’s eye – he snagged art director and Make Art That Sells co-teacher Zoë’s attention too! Make Art That Sells course teachers include two art agents, a children’s book art director and a creative director, plus tons more art directors and creative directors follow our social media feeds, so taking our courses is a great way to get seen.
Brian is currently working on a children’s picture book that is being art directed by Zoë: we can’t share too much just yet, but here’s a little sneak peek.
