Illustrated Children's Books: Create a Unique Story

“We have reached the end of the course! Thank you so much for taking the time to learn child illustration techniques with me and creating stories in this incredible universe. I hope you had fun and acquired new skills and ideas to incorporate into your own work. I take this opportunity to reinforce two important points: 1. The physical format of a publication can contribute and collaborate with the story you want to tell. 2. The notebooks that we take with us on a daily basis are essential for the development of an idea. Now I share the process I went through to carry out my final project: I created the character

I created the scenario to include the character I thought of two scenes to create the narrative, one before and one after the scene already produced. Scene before the main Scene after the main I assembled an accordion prototype by gluing the sheets I illustrated to create a mini-book I produced a cover for the project presentation I prepared a digital document with the images created, in my case I created a file in PDF format using InDesign. Scanned main scene Complete digitized sequence Now it's your turn! Share your process and experiences on the forum so we can see your project. Your work will inspire more people in the community! I hope this is just the first step in a long dialogue on illustration and books. I hope you produce and share your future work here with everyone in the Domestika creative community. In addition, seeing the process of creating other people enables us to learn more and learn about other ways of thinking about the composition of an illustration. Important: everyone is invited to give feedback on the work of the Community! :) I will pay attention to the messages and ask for patience if at some point it takes a while to respond, the work schedule of an illustrator is always in motion. Get to work!”
