Children's Picturebooks with Digital Techniques

X Albums illustrated with digital techniques

“That's it, folks, we've reached the end of the course! Before I say goodbye, I would like to review what we have seen in this course and talk a little about how you can present your final project. Here are the steps I showed you during the course: • I chose and divided the text. • I did the aesthetic research to develop the illustrations. • I then went from theory to practice: I storyboarded the scenes I liked the most, developed them, created textures manually and assembled a color palette. • Finally, I created a PDF file including a cover, a short biography, some illustrations and the three illustrations to send to a publisher. These are very important steps for you to learn how to digitally illustrate a book. Of course, this isn't a sure path to getting to an editor, but it's part of a process. Finish more than one or two scenes to show the client the identity of the project. Create a cover, build a mock-up, always think ahead: "What else can I do to make my project get the attention of an editor?" In your final project, I would like to see at least 1 of the finished scenes, your portfolio using the image and mock-up of the book cover! Scene 1

Scene 2 Scene 3 portfolio Cover I suggest you create a project different from the one I proposed in the course. Do you like more adult or more poetic stories? Illustrate a familiar story so that it is easily understood by your future client. If you have a piece of your own, this might be the time to introduce yourself as an illustrator and writer. That would be a step further! Thank you very much for walking with me here, I will always be attentive to the projects, each exercise posted and your questions on the forum. I won't always be able to respond right away, but I will, let me. It will be a pleasure! If a colleague has a question that you are able to answer, feel free. In this way we grow, improve and sharpen our community even more! Good job and see you later! ”

“Final project We have reached the end of the course. All steps are fundamental for you to learn how to illustrate a book digitally. This is not the right way to get to an editor, but he is part of the process. In addition to doing the finished scenes, I recommend you do some more, to reinforce the identity of your work. Create a cover, build a mockup and always think beyond. What else can I do to get my project to get the editor's attention?
