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.

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