See this content in the original post

Art by Ariel Landy

We talk a lot about portfolio and creating portfolio pieces, but we haven't talked enough about assignments and exercises you can do to really level up your craft and help give you some concrete things to try. In this episode we share about some common assignments that we dislike, and then share our favorites and why you might want to try them out.

The better version of this podcast would be hosted by:

Norman Rockwell

N.C. Wyeth

Maurice Sendak

Sorry you’re stuck with us.
