Illustrate a Children's Book: For Writers Who Can't Draw

This course will take you step-by-step through the process of creating illustrations for a children’s book, without drawing a line! This process does NOT involve artificial intelligence.

This course is for beginners who cannot draw, and who have never illustrated a book before.

I, myself, cannot draw, yet I have illustrated more than 150 children’s books, all of which have been licensed by Mattel and many other companies.

In this course, you will learn the types of source images you can use to base your illustrations on.

You’ll learn where to find free and low-cost, royalty-free images to use as the basis for your illustrations.

You will see a wide range of artistic effects that can be applied to your source images to create a unique illustration.

You will learn how to combine images to create a unique character; and how to select areas of an image to create unique backgrounds.

And you’ll learn how to use PhotoImpact. This is a skill that can be adapted to any image editor you decide to use.

So if you can’t draw, don’t let that stop you from illustrating a children’s book. Take this course and learn how you, too, can do it!
