Lilla here. Today’s the day! My newest course, Portfolio Club 2026, is officially open, and I’m so excited!
If you’ve ever dreamed of building a strong, market-ready illustration portfolio – or you already have some art in your portfolio but want to get noticed by clients so you can get more jobs and make more money – then now is the moment to jump in. You’ll get eight whole months of assignments from me, to take you all the way through to August – how cool is that?

Fabulous art for class by Make Art That Sells student Laura Moyer. In Portfolio Club, you’ll make incredible portfolio art like this for a whole range of markets. But HURRY, registration closes SOON!
Quick reminder of what you’ll get in Portfolio Club:
- A Mini assignment on the first Monday of every month, to warm up, experiment, and get your creative inspiration flowing – join the class now and get your very first Mini assignment TODAY!
- A Big assignment every month – eight in total – written by me from my decades in the business to read like a real-life client brief including all the little details no one tells you about (like how much a job like this is likely to pay!)
- You’ll make job-snagging portfolio art you can pitch in a huge range of markets: magazine illustration, packaging, home décor, book covers, surface pattern, stationery, and more
- Bonus material – like maybe a trend guide, a mood board, and more
- Monthly curated lists of recommended art supplies plus monthly demos from me where you can see me play with that month’s suggested supplies
- Monthly live Zoom calls with me your fellow classmates where you can ask questions about your assignment and anything else on your mind
- A global class of fellow artists to share guidance and progress, give feedback, and stay inspired, because creating great art doesn’t have to be lonely
… and more!
Whether you’re a total beginner or a working illustrator, I designed Portfolio Club to meet you where you are: helping you grow, experiment, and create work to catch the eye of art directors and clients. It’s the perfect little push you need to create art every month for the next eight months – because the more art you make, the better you’ll get at it, and the more work you’ll get.

FREE live Zoom TODAY!
Join me for a FREE live Zoom TODAY at 12 noon ET/5 pm GMT! It’s open to absolutely everyone, whether you’ve already signed up, you just want to see a dreamy art supply demo or you’re still making up your mind about Portfolio Club and want to find out more.

Join me for a FREE live Zoom TODAY at 12 noon ET, where I’ll be showing you some gorgeous products, demonstrating art supplies, and popping up a volunteer or two to review their portfolio together.
I’ll be taking a look at the Bingo Board you got for your #MATSprep warm-up – it’s a fantastic tool to help you figure out what’s missing from your portfolio, so if you haven’t already seen it then take a look here.
Plus I’ll be giving you a little sneak peek of the first monthly art supplies I’ve picked for you, where you’ll get to see me playing and experimenting with the gorgeous art supplies and color palette suggested for the January assignment.

I’ve had such an amazing time concocting some wonderful assignments for you in some amazing art markets – I can’t wait to see what you’re going to do. Art for class by Make Art That Sells students Ella Lama (left) and Janie Secker (right).
And I’ll be showing you some products for different markets, to give you some ideas of what you can do with your art, and popping up a couple of volunteers on-screen, to take a look at their portfolios and review how to make them even stronger.
Don’t miss it! Click here to join the Zoom TODAY at noon – you’ll also find the link in our Instagram and Facebook Stories, and on the front page of our website at www.makeartthatsells.com.

Fabulous art for class by Make Art That Sells student Heather Manning. You’ll make eight gorgeous pieces of art in your own style which you can pitch to prospective clients, for eight of the best art markets. HURRY! Sign up here.
