Thanks Marco for the excellent training material you have put together. I think I have now 4 of your courses and have always learnt a lot. The last ones about color and illustrating kids book really helped me as it provides a logic that I can apply to trying to bring color into my art… I have one of the multiple forms of colourblindness which has always been a frustrating experience. One thing I still need to figure out is how to apply with a real media such as watercolor or oil the color wheel principles i have learnt because here I have no computer I can rely on
LESSON NOTES
We start where children's books always start: the manuscript. This is the idea that we have to flesh out with artwork. Find out what a professional manuscript consists of, and tips for working with them.

Hey Marco,
Just wanted to introduce myself here as I'm new. I'm currently an MFA student at Hollins University in the children's literature and illustration program. I'm in my fourth semester and really want to amp up my drawing skill. I'm currently taking a design class but went ahead and bundled this one with drawing basics so that I can really improve my fundamental skill as I have never been to formal art school. Super excited to take this class especially for the character building and look forward to posting here. 🥰
@Marco Bucci you mention an interview in the first lesson but I don’t see it. Can you point me in the right direction?

Yep, this course is just what I needed!
Besides artistic guides about making characters and stories it also helps us in the business world of illustration :)
