Service Description

This course is best suited to beginners looking to explore children’s picture book illustration. It will guide you through the process of making a simple picture book for children. We will look at different ways you can illustrate children’s picture books, the traditional picture book format and work on our own story ideas - students are welcome to bring their own stories with them (suggested maximum of around 500-600 words) or a few traditional stories will also be provided to illustrate. We will look at character development, pacing of the story and sequential illustrations. By the end of the course we will have a story board and if the student wishes a simplified dummy book which they can take away with them. Materials List to be confirmed.
