How to find your art style

Our brand new course is going to help you discover or hone your art style, while making gorgeous art for your portfolio!

Art agent Lilla tells us that one of the most common questions she gets asked as an art agent is: how do you develop your art style? How do you push your style further? How do you freshen up your existing style?

Need a jump start? Feeling stuck and want to be inspired? Lilla and Tamisha have come up with a unique, original and inspiring way for you to explore your style.

Tamisha

Here’s your teacher! Illustrator and educator Tamisha will inspire you with her vintage accessories, plus she’ll pose in period dress so you can practice your figure drawing.

That’s why we’re so thrilled to share our brand NEW course from illustrator and educator Tamisha Anthony. She’s curated some beautiful vintage accessories and combined them with her knowledge of art history and some inspiring Black women from history to come up with this one of a kind course that will help you develop and grow your individual illustration style while also creating some fabulous portfolio art. Plus you’ll also get to practice your clothed figure drawing as Tamisha poses live in vintage clothing, which will be a fantastic addition to your illustrator toolkit!

You’ll explore a variety of floral patterns and design from vintage influences, experiment with different media, and create four pieces of portfolio art aimed at some huge art markets.

Products agented by Lilla Rogers and illustrated by Kendra Binney, a Make Art That Sells student who was discovered in class. Create four pieces of portfolio art that are designed to help you land paying jobs in some of the biggest art markets – maybe bolt fabric, journal covers, home décor or something else.

You’ll also get weekly LIVE figure drawing sessions with Tamisha posing in vintage clothing, breakout rooms where you can meet and get feedback from your fellow students, and a final LIVE review with Tamisha and top art agent Lilla Rogers. Plus Tamisha will share her inspiring thrift store finds in a fabulous video.

One of the cool things about this course, as well as the wealth of eye candy that you’ll get to enjoy, is that it’s perfect for all levels, no matter where you are in your illustration journey. It’s ideal for anyone who wants to develop their figure drawing, grow their style, create marketable art for their portfolio, and explore new markets for their art from a top art agent and a working illustrator.

Lilla says: “One of the best ways to evolve or find your style is to be inspired by quirky and gorgeous things to draw!” You’ll be inspired by this visually rich course. Read more here.
