In this brand NEW course, you’ll get to make art for two of the biggest art markets right now (read more about why the picture book and toy and games markets are so huge here and here), plus you’ll discover just how easy it can be to create winning characters, and you’ll get tons of tips, advice and industry insider insight from your talented teachers, Lilla, Zoë and Riley!
Make Art That Sells student Brian Lambert was offered an illustration gig after a publisher spotted this character from art he created for Assignment Bootcamp: Portfolio on his Instagram account.
As a quick reminder, here’s what you get:

- Four stunning Character Inspiration Boards created by art agent Lilla, plus other supporting downloads
