Illustrating Children’s Books
Of course, we’ve included our raved-about, job-snagging online course, Illustrating Children’s Books. Consistently one of our most popular courses, you’ll spend five intense weeks with top art agent Lilla Rogers and renowned art director and author Zoë Tucker, who together will help you to create a brilliant children’s book pitch to help you land your dream gig. Children’s author and course co-teacher, Zoë Tucker, provides three new texts written exclusively for class, which are cleverly designed to bring out the best in all students, whatever level you’re at (and two of the texts which Zoë wrote for the class were published in 2019! – including one for which a Make Art That Sells student got the illustration gig. Next time it could be you!).

You’ll also get in-depth video lessons, daily drawing prompts, weekly assignments that will build your pitch, weekly LIVE video reviews, interviews, and more. By the end of the course, you’ll have a finished pitch ready to send off, including a front cover, character sheets, and a full-page spread – essentially everything an art director needs to see. Click here to read some of our Illustrating Children’s Books success stories.
Plus you’ll also have all the insider knowledge you need to identify and approach clients, and then to work with them in a professional way once you’ve secured the gig. And you will do all of this in the company of other like-minded artists from around the world in our supportive class community.
We know that artists love illustrating children’s books. It’s magical to sink into a project for months, creating their own signature characters and world.
That dream children’s book illustration gig can be yours!
