Course Description

Overview

In this class, I’m going to show you my process for creating a children’s book cover for my portfolio.   I’m often commissioned to illustrate just covers for books, so it’s a great reason to add a few examples to your portfolio and help you gain more work. 

What you’ll learn:

  • Book sizes & Composition (including the rule of thirds) 
  • Colour Theory & Selecting Colour Palettes
  • Value Studies
  • Colour blocking, adding detail and texture
