The No Bullshit Guide to Making a Living from your Art Information

The No Bullshit Guide to Making a Living from Your Art by Lisa Maltby is a course designed for freelance illustrators and creatives who want to turn their talent into a full-time career.

Learn how to make a living as a freelance illustrator

If you’ve ever been told you’re ‘talented’ but feel continually frustrated that you’re not making a living from your creative work, this course is for you. Throughout my career I have felt that there are not enough honest resources for aspiring illustrators. Sure, you might know how to develop your drawing skills, but how do you get people to part cash for them? Why does no one talk about the business side of illustration? In this course I have decided to spill the beans on how I now make a full-time living out of my work. I want to share my experiences with you in order to help you to develop a successful career as an illustrator.
