The journey to discovering one’s passion is something everyone can relate to. For doctor-turned-artist James Chapman, that meant leaving behind a career as a physicist to follow his dream of becoming a professional illustrator. Now, five years after taking the plunge, James works full-time illustrating books, animating projects for television, and collaborating on viral content for brands like BuzzFeed.

As an illustrator, James relies on his sketchbook for experimenting and developing his unique creative aesthetic. Most recently, he has focused on using acrylic paint markers and pens to blend his passions for color and pop culture, happily sharing his work online with his +50k Instagram followers. If you’re ready to start playing with color and composition, join James (and his sketchbook) as he shows you new techniques for exploring your imagination and having fun with illustration.
