Today’s a biiiig day... the doors to our Live Illustration Course are closing tonight!

AGH!

In this special live illustration-y episode, we grill Katie with loads of the brilliant live illustration questions you submitted.

Katie also shares some behind-the-scenes stories about v early gigs, navigating some more unusual client requirements (hiya, Apple lawyers!), and why your own values matter just as much as your skills.

p.s. The doors to the Live Illustration Course close tonight (2nd May)!
If you're thinking about joining, now's the best time!

Why though?

  1. This is the lowest price it will ever be - we're doing a special price for this first ever live round of the course
  2. You get lifetime access
  3. You can hop back in for future live rounds, get ALL future course updates and take it at your own pace.

The price *will* go up next time.
