Create eye-catching illustrations for picture books by using a system of creativity that develops illustrations that are harmonious with the concepts and direction of your book. In this course, learn time-tested techniques and processes for dreaming up, sketching, drawing, and coloring picture book illustrations. Nicholas teaches how to design an imaginary character based upon the ideas from a story, and how to take a reader through a visual journey of wonder and imagination.

Please note: This course is not a writing course for your book. Rather, this course prepares you to create illustrations for a book you have written or written by another author.

You may choose to either use traditional mediums or bring a tablet with stylus (iPad + Apple Pencil). If you choose to go the traditional route, please visit the website or call Community Ed for the supplies list.
