Explore the steps involved in illustrating a children’s book.

Students create illustrations that harmonize with the text, produce a rough dummy, and create three pieces of full color, resolved illustrations. Also covers how to submit artwork and/or book proposals to art directors and editors, how to market your work and what you can expect in a publishing contract.
