Children's Book Illustration

Have you ever wondered what it takes to illustrate a children’s book? Learn about visual storytelling, the layout and design of children’s books, and the process of conceptualizing a picture book from start to finish. Choose a story to work with, create a storyboard, and work on a book dummy. We will look at examples, discuss composition, drawing and painting methods, and how to pitch to publishers or self-publish. Note: though you will be drawing, this is not a how-to-draw class. The focus is on narrative visual storytelling in the picture book format. Open to students of all levels.
