I took a Make Art That Sells course with Lilla Rogers and Zoe Tucker for five weeks on illustrating children’s books. In the class we used a sample text; the one I chose was about a balloon named Bob who goes on an adventure.

In the course we explored character, emotion, poses, environment, and covers. In this intensive class, I learned a lot very quickly. Here are some examples of a cover, a sample page, and character exploration.
