About the course
Join me for a 6 week introductory course in character design and illustration for children’s books!
During this course you will learn the process of creating an illustration from a classic children’s story.
I will guide you through creating the world and characters for your illustrations, and advise you on technique and execution.
This course is for adults and people 16 years and older, at any level of drawing ability. Children over 10 may join the course with adult supervision.
We will start on Tuesday the 27th of October 2020 from 6-8 pm and will run for 6 weeks each Tuesday evening.
Classes will be held at 41 Glen Road, Raumati South, in the former Raumati South Blowing Club.
The course cost is $150 for 6 weeks.
