Adults & Teens ages 16+. Whether you're an aspiring author or artist, this class is your launchpad into the world of children's book illustration.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Basics of character and scene development
  • Storyboarding, thumbnails & composition

Be sure to bring: Pencil/eraser, sketchbook, and your media of choice (markers, watercolor, etc.).
