How to start getting work as an artist - Watts Weekly
464Illustrator Lucas Graciano gives some insights to how he started getting work as an artist. Lucas was with the school for a very long time as a teacher and student, since the early 2000s. Recently he's moved on to focus more full time on his illustration career. He has several courses available in the Master Class section of our site on illustration and design, as well as quite a few demos in Portrait and Figure Phase IV.
