NEW: The Illustrator’s Launchpad — 10 Weeks to Build Your Illustration Practice

10 Weeks to Build Your Illustration Practice

Learn the skills. Make the work. Find your creative momentum.

A guided 10-week experience combining weekly teaching, professional guest mentors, live critique, personal feedback and a creative community — taking you from observation and experimentation through to a finished illustration project.

No experience required. No pressure to have a style. Just a place to start — and the support to keep going.

What You’ll Build in 10 Weeks

You’ll make work throughout the full 10 weeks, with weekly exercises and mini-projects exploring drawing, colour, composition, character, storytelling, environments, texture and visual voice.

Along the way, you’ll build a growing body of sketches, studies, experiments and finished pieces, before bringing everything you’ve learned together in a final illustration project.

You’ll leave with more work, stronger skills, greater creative confidence and a clearer sense of where to take your illustration practice next.

Designed to Keep You Making

You’re not just buying 10 weeks of lessons.

You’re getting a structured creative journey with four professional guest illustrators, live critique, personal written feedback twice during the programme, weekly prompts and a community making alongside you.

You’ll leave with more than a finished illustration — you’ll have a body of new work, stronger skills, valuable feedback and a creative practice you can keep building on.

Meet Your Mentors

During Launchpad, you’ll be taught by Inkygoodness founder Lisa Hassell, alongside established guest illustrators sharing their processes, techniques and creative insights.

Each week, we’ll explore a different area of illustration, so you can learn and create at a rhythm that works for you.

Follow along live or watch the recordings in your own time.
