We are so proud of our wonderful Make Art That Sells alumni and are pleased to showcase a series of gorgeous student work that was produced in our first session of Illustrating Children’s Books. Here is part 3 in the showcase series. *** Emma McGowan My favourite image is from week 2 when we worked on emotions. It came across very clearly how important it is for your characters to show a range of strong emotions that the reader can understand and relate to. Although I was pushed for time in week 2 and only managed to submit three different emotions, it was the week I felt my main character really came alive and I thought, I can do this! How did the ‘Illustrating Children’s Book’ class help you grow? The course took me from thinking ‘one day I’d like to illustrate a children’s book’ to ‘I want to do this now’.
