About the instructor & who is this course for? 
Hello! I'm Sabrina Kaufmann, currently freelance artist, and started commission work quite young when I was 16. This course is aimed to help you get started no matter your level and age (module 1), and then dive deeper once you decide to get serious about freelancing and monetizing your art (module 2).
As you can see, my artwork is mostly a mix between manga and fashion illustration. While lots of people told me manga was "too childish", it didn't stop me from working with a variety of clients & projects: chara-designs & book illustrations for authors, covers for musicians, advertising posters & flyers & online visuals for schools, companies and ministries, comics for hotels, universities and Unesco.
