How to Become a Children’s Book Illustrator by Ruth Hammond and Greg Dobbins shows how the best children’s illustrators convey characters, narratives and themes through the art of visual storytelling. Go behind the scenes of the illustrator’s work – the book features eight specially created story examples, each illustrated by a leading children’s artist, and now you can explore the design process and learn more from the artist himself.
The book includes design tips and examples for the following age groups: - 0–24 months, - 2–4 years, - 4–6 years, - 6–8 years
You will learn:
- Put yourself in the shoes of your readers (very young!) and understand how age group and context affect the outcome.
- Plan and fill pages with such consistency and detail that, even when reading them at bedtime, children and their parents will be as enthralled by the book as they were reading it for the first time!
- Tune into the author's storytelling techniques and illustrate narrative techniques such as humor, conflict, anxiety, and symbolism.
- Turn design into an enchanting experience through smart color choices, real-world alignment, and emotional typography.
- Research potential avenues in the industry, build a portfolio, collaborate with publishers, and prepare self-publishing, as well as clarify some legal issues for yourself.
