This class is a 2-for-1:
- You’ll learn step-by-step how to draw artwork on your iPad

My name is Cat Coquillette and I am a professional illustrator. My art has been sold on over one million products worldwide, from art prints at Target to yoga mats at Urban Outfitters. I’ll walk you through exactly how I approach creating artwork with the intention of getting it licensed by big brands.
Every step of the way, you should consider: how can I optimize this illustration for success? Consider this class a peek into my brain as I brainstorm, sketch, finalize, and publish my design. You’ll get the entire journey.
Finding commercial success with your art is more than just a whim– these are strategies to choosing the motif, establishing the color palette, infusing your own illustration style, and more.
By the end of this class, you’ll have created a professional-quality illustration that you can use to upload to print-on-demand sites or license out to earn income with your art.
