Finished Projects from the Illustration From Imagination Spring 2022 Class

Well Done, IFI Class of 2022! 🎓

This week marks the graduation of over 150 Illustration From Imagination students, and I’m so proud of the improvement in artwork that I’ve seen this year! 🚀

Teaching such an inspiring group of artists is a privilege that keeps me going year after year, and I want to say THANK YOU for joining this 2022 edition of the IFI program.

Watching you push your artistic limits, work together as a learning community, and create your high-quality portfolio pieces in your own style brought me such a boost of energy.  I hope it stokes your love of digital painting as well!

This blog post is a tribute to your hard work.  Keep it up, and keep practicing the new skills you’ve developed so you don’t lose your hard-earned momentum.

I’m looking forward to seeing you again the next time we open the doors to IFI!


If you’re not familiar with Illustration From Imagination, it’s a 6-week masterclass focused on up-leveling your ability to illustrate the stories in your head, become a world-class artist, and teach you how to begin making an income from your artwork by simulating a client project.  

That fictional client’s project is to create a dramatic movie poster for their newest blockbuster film!  Students have complete creative control over the brief, genre, characters, style, and more.

We all move through each week together, with new lessons, assignments and feedback for every module of the program.

Have a look below at a sample of the incredible final masterpieces from the graduates of IFI 2022.

Stunning Student Masterpieces – Illustration From Imagination Class of June 2020

Over the past 7 weeks, our Illustration From Imagination students have worked so hard to push themselves out of their comfort zones and challenge their creative limits. 💪

For many of our students, it’s been a challenging ride, but that makes it so much more rewarding! They’ve massively leveled up their painting skills and learned practical skills like thumbnailing before starting a project and getting the composition just right, but they’ve also made some crucial mindset shifts to get past the fears of “not being good enough” and the resistance that sets in when they don’t know where to start. 😱

These are vital skills for all successful professional painters, and that’s why Illustration From Imagination immediately puts our graduates at an advantage when it comes to pursuing a career doing something they truly love and look forward to every single day.

A huge congratulations is in order! 🥳🥳

Every lesson in Illustration From Imagination is geared toward one final goal: to follow a brief set by a fictional client (Paintable Productions! 🖌) and create a killer portfolio piece: a beautiful movie poster.

Our students have loved working alongside the IFI community, getting valuable feedback from their peers (and from me), and seeing each others’ progress and final artwork…

But it wouldn’t be fair to keep all of their stunning paintings to ourselves, would it? 😉

Scroll down for a sample of the incredible final artworks.
