NEW Course #1: Assignment Bootcamp: Lettering

Lettering is fantastic for your creative career, with so many uses and applications. Lilla says: “One of the things I look, for, when considering whether to represent an artist, is their lettering. Do they have a distinctive lettering style? Can I envision it on an array of products, such as book covers, candy and gourmet food packaging, embroidery kits, children’s book illustrations, journal covers, greeting cards, stationary, even things like bolt fabric?”

Lettering on books

Gorgeous lettering on books agented by Lilla. Let her show you how you can build a bag full of lettering tools, techniques and styles that you can use to get paying jobs like these.

Lilla created this course because she 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.
