It’s one thing to be able to make great art, but it’s a whole other thing to be able to do this on behalf of other people. The celebrated illustrator Christoph Niemann once said, “Relying on craft and routine is a lot less sexy than being an artistic genius. But it is an excellent strategy for not going insane.” This class aims give you such a strategy!
