This workshop is designed for anyone who is interested in illustrating their own or someone else's story. Seemingly simple, children's picture book illustrating and writing is anything but. Whether you have an idea for a picture book but are not sure where to start or you are a published author/illustrator looking for a creative environment to work in, this workshop offers a unique setting to learn about and work on children’s book art. Popular author and illustrator G. Brian Karas will review the basics, discuss technique and media, and help students shape their vision into a picture book for children.
Students will work on a book dummy and finished illustrations in this two week course. Work with a story of your own or choose one of the public domain manuscripts provided. Students are asked to bring art supplies in their chosen media to work on one to three finished illustrations for their book dummy. Personal and group critiques will provide different points of view and an interactive discussion.
