Create engaging and vibrant animal characters for children’s book illustration.
Students on this summer school will take a trip to Edinburgh zoo to create observational drawings of animals from life. With the support of award winning illustrator Harriet Hobday, these sketchbook studies will then be used as inspiration to develop animal characters and create sequences.
This course is a great opportunity for students of all levels of experience to become familiar with observational drawing, character design, sequential images, storyboarding and illustration. By the end of the week you will have created a simple sequence revolving around an animal character in book form.
An ideal summer school for those who are looking to dip their toe into the world of picture book illustration and also those who are looking to build on their illustration portfolio.
