Hurry hurry HURRY – LAST CHANCE! Registration for Illustrating Children’s Books 2022 closes TODAY!
There’s something magical about a picture book, isn’t there? Opening the pages, the feel, the smell – and of course the beautiful art. How must it feel to get to illustrate a book of your very own: to spend weeks or months digging deep into the text and bringing it to life for generations of children to enjoy – and getting paid to do it?
How do you get a picture book gig? By showing art directors and publishers exactly what they want to see in your portfolio and pitch. And that’s what top art agent Lilla Rogers and recently published children’s author and brilliant children’s book art director Zoë Tucker are going to do in just five weeks in Illustrating Children’s Books.
Here are just some of the things you’ll get in this career-changing course:
- LIVE reviews by Lilla and Zoë featuring a selection of class work loaded with even more tips and pointers: your teachers review every single piece of art submitted to the class gallery and choose their favorites, so it’s an incredible opportunity to get your art seen by them (art agent Lilla is always looking to scoop up more artists from class!) but even if your art isn’t chosen you’ll still learn a ton
- Three inspiring texts by picture book author Zoë Tucker for you to choose from, allowing you to dive in instantly: our texts are written especially for class, and three have been published (so far!), so you know that they’re professional quality and will help you build a powerful book illustration portfolio
- In-depth videos on every aspect of the creating and pitching of your children’s book, growing your creative business, and Lilla’s art technique demonstrations
- Interviews with top art directors and successful illustrators: we ask them everything you want to know
- Boatloads of beautifully presented downloadable worksheets
… and tons more.
Want in? Then HURRY! Registration for this raved-about course closes TODAY and it won’t run again until 2023. Can you afford to miss out? Book your place here.
