Illustrating Children's Books (and beyond!)
Chapter 1 - Project Tours
Chapter 2 - Drawing Characters
Chapter 3 - Backgrounds and Color
We start where children's books always start: the manuscript. This is the idea that we have to flesh out with artwork. Find out what a professional manuscript consists of, and tips for working with them.

@Marco Bucci you mention an interview in the first lesson but I don’t see it. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks Marco for the excellent training material you have put together. I think I have now 4 of your courses and have always learnt a lot. The last ones about color and illustrating kids book really helped me as it provides a logic that I can apply to trying to bring color into my art… I have one of the multiple forms of colourblindness which has always been a frustrating experience. One thing I still need to figure out is how to apply with a real media such as watercolor or oil the color wheel principles i have learnt because here I have no computer I can rely on

Yep, this course is just what I needed!
Besides artistic guides about making characters and stories it also helps us in the business world of illustration :)
