Q: I’ve never taken an online class before. How does it work? Do I need to be at my computer at a certain time?
A: The course happens in a gorgeous password-protected private classroom right here on this site. There is a separate online classroom here on the Make Art That Sells website for each course, divided into lessons.
The beauty of an online course is that you can check in whenever you like and do not need to be online at a specific time as the content will be available 24/7, so it does not matter what time zone you are in. You can log on every day if you choose, or set aside time once or twice a week to work through it.
The written content in the class will be downloadable and you will have access to the classroom until March 3, 2025 so you have plenty of time to go back through everything at your own pace.
There will also be a private Facebook group where you can connect with others and share images of your work, and this will remain open indefinitely.
Q: What format is the class taught in?
A: The class is taught using video sessions, written posts, downloadable information and valuable resources, and a huge amount of imagery. Everything is made available in a bespoke, password-protected private classroom. There are assignments.
Q: Do I need to have a drawing tablet or be able to create digital illustrations for this course?
A: You don’t need any special software or equipment for this course. Our students use all kinds of different methods, some are strictly digital, others are traditional artists, and lots are in between. Any method you want to use to create your illustrations is fine, but we do encourage students to try different media as part of this class.
Q: Is the class live or self-paced?
A: This class is LIVE and runs over 4 weeks. There is a live review after the final week and it will be saved and made available in the classroom for you to watch a replay.

Q: I don’t live in the USA. Is this course relevant for me?
A: Lilla Rogers represents artists internationally and has clients all over the world. Although the main buyers for art in the markets covered are in the US and the UK, much of the content is relevant for you wherever in the world you are, especially if you are interested in selling your work internationally. And because everything is made available to you online, it does not matter what time zone you are in.
Q: How is this course different to a college course?
A: As an agent whose artists have illustrated and authored lots of children’s books, games and other products, Lilla knows exactly what sells and what doesn’t sell. She knows what clients are looking for and how to present work to them. The course is based on many years of experience in the industry, and a clear understanding of where the gaps are. The historical aspect of the course is incorporated into portfolio pieces for today’s markets.
As an online course, you can attend from the comfort of your own home or studio, anywhere in the world, and the private classroom is open 24/7 so you can make it work around your life.
