Educational Book Illustration for Children

“You did! You have finally reached the end of this adventure, of this first journey. So far you have traveled through a lot of information, you saw many details and it is time to finish your final project. As I told you before, the final project is an illustrated project that you put together from start to finish. Before starting, take a look at the universe of children's books, review various ways of telling information and sharing knowledge. Ask yourself important questions and others not so much, but all with the idea of clarifying your panorama to be clear about where you should and want to go. Remember that for your project you must choose a topic that you like, that you are passionate about, that you want to share with others, those others for which your publication is a journey. I invite you to share in this space the stops of the trip you made during the journey that led you to create your world. I compare you an example: The topic and the blog Choose the topic with which you are going to work, give yourself the task of investigating as much as possible about it, in addition, summarize the information making sure to contemplate the most important and significant in your blog, I recommend that you do it manually, like this You will be able to elaborate some questions and ideas that arise as you go along. Keep in mind that the blog can be assembled with materials that you have at home.

Choose the parts of your book Since you documented yourself on the subject and summarized the subject to a text that can fit on a letter size sheet. Draw the sketches taking into account the space you have available is very important. In this case, since you have control of all the parts, you will have to work on how all the elements of the publication will be: 1.Cover 2. Back cover (4 of linings) 3. The two inner pages 4. The central infographic or the main page. The illustrations Work on the final illustrations, arrange the text and build the final assembly of your publication, without forgetting to review all the necessary technical details so that it can be printed and viewed without problem. The specimens Finally, you have to print copies and get it to people who read it, enjoy it and can help you review what may be wrong with your material and what may be working wonderfully. Take advantage of the comments they make about your book and adjust the last details and voila, your little book is finished. It remains to begin to reach the readers who are waiting for it. Remember that to get here you have to draw, read and have a lot of fun. Work hard and think of the other, the one who reads it, with whom you want to share your work and your emotion on the particular topic. Do not forget that in the forum we can comment in community on the progress of your project, let your book find the reader who can be found among your colleagues, so do not forget to share your book. Take a tour of the project of others and who knows, maybe that's where more ideas come from, more readers, more colleagues, more collaborators, more planets, more adventures and other trips. Let's keep traveling and discovering that until now as we know, the universe is infinite!”

“Final project We've reached the end of the course. I hope that everything you have learned here is useful to you and that it stays with you from now on. The question and reflection exercises must always be with us so that everything goes well and that we do it consciously and more efficiently. Now we will do an overview of everything we did in the course.
