Welcome to Learn & Master Live Illustration - the only program you need to turn your illustrations into a money making machine by drawing live at events.
4 Modules. 5 Weeks. Full access to a seasoned, professional luxury live illustrator.
Next intake: Early 2026.
Alrightey, let’s make sure
you’re in the right place.
You've thought about events but it feels OVERWHELMING. You want a step-by-step plan — no more guesswork!
You’ve tried the usual ways to make money & nothing is working like you want it (argh!). You’re wondering if making money from your art is realistic.
You want new ways of making money, but DON’T want a huge financial investment.
You’re sick of being ghosted by leads, and want to start locking in jobs - stop letting them disappear.
You know you’re good — but DIY-ing your way through YouTube tutorials on live illustrating is getting you nowhere.
You’re the best mix of creative AND people person, and know you’d succeed in events, but just don’t know how to make it happen.
You want a creative job that works around your life — not one that demands you work nights, weekends, or around someone else’s schedule.
You're ready to stop watching from the sidelines and grab those big opportunities for yourself, without second guessing yourself along the way.

My past (repeat) clients include La Prairie, Tiffany & Co, Dior, Miu Miu, Bvlgari + hundreds of happy couples in the wedding space - I know what I’m doing 😉This course is the FIRST OF ITS KIND and I’m ready - are you?

More often than not, the best time to start is when you’re not ready. Most students finish up the course glad they started. The time will pass anyway, and nothing exciting comes from staying in your comfort zone.
I can give you personalised tips to improve your speed and style.
But if you want to chat it through - DM or email me at belinda@belindaxiastudio.com and I’ll let you know if I think we’re the right fit!

This program is a distillation of the trial and error-ed systems and processes from the last 7 years of working with luxury brands and hundreds of couples.
If you went into your event feeling overwhelmed and terrified, or left the event thinking ‘thank goodness that’s over’ - let me ease your mind and guide you into your next one feeling prepared and confident.

Personally as a live illustrator, I’ve turned down more work than I’ve said yes to lately - I’m booked out, taking deposits for 2027 AND I’ve almost doubled my prices this year.
Live illustration will always be popular, because people love being drawn, and clients love to spoil their guests (whether bride or brand).
And if you’re more interested in the commercial side - luxury brands love aligning themselves with the art world. Live illustration is a sought-after (and easily incorporated) feature in the many events they host each year - the trick is becoming good enough for them to hire. Tiffany & Co, La Prairie, Miu Miu, Dior and Bvlgari are just some of the brands I’ve worked with repeatedly.

Yes! We’ll have weekly catch ups and Q&As for any burning questions about the modules. You’ll have direct access to my brain (and each other via a private chat).

Short answer: It varies depending on your experience, so the earlier you start, the better.
But to give you an idea, my average event is about $2000AUD, and I can work up to 5 events a week in a busy period.
