This class is what I’ve been looking for for a while and I wish I’d taken it sooner. A lot of other courses seem to be more geared to just making a children’s illustration portfolio, but this class covers the entire process of making a book. Before taking this class I really wasn’t sure how to approach pacing, page turns, when to use spots vs. pages/spreads, etc. It was also helpful to see how to schedule and break down a long term project. It’s well worth the investment, especially considering that you get access to the material and [chat] group even after the course is over.
The wisdom of 3 prolific artists offer a lifetime of learning in just 10-weeks leaving you breathless. After being an SVS subscriber for almost 2 years, I can wholeheartedly say Children’s Book Pro is by far the most comprehensive course available, which absolutely opened my eyes to so many ideas, process improvements, differing methodologies and provided me with insights to help me pursue my writing and artistic ventures on a whole new level. I’m especially grateful for finding the SVS community through the 3-Point Perspective Podcast and for the amazing opportunity to enroll in the first-ever Children’s Book Pro course. As a 42 year old husband and father just beginning to explore making children’s books part-time, this course is an invaluable resource and roadmap to keep me working towards my dreams of being a successful children’s book illustrator.
This was an amazingly comprehensive course and with three experienced teachers who each give their own perspective is so valuable. I'm going to go back and retake several of these classes in the future, as I progress. Even though I already work in the industry, I felt I learnt a bunch. It's a real deep dive into the world of creating amazing children's books! Thank you guys for creating this!
This is the perfect Course for aspiring Children's Book Illustrators or Author/Illustrators. The content curated by Jake, Lee, Will and David is professional, important, and needed if you want to be an illustrator or author/illustrator. The information and learnings in this course will cut years off of your Children's Picture Book journey. In my case it also shed light on what areas I need to focus on to get to the next level.
I went into this course with a very basic understanding of how a children's book is designed. Now I feel like a pro! I understand how pages are put together, when to focus on each part of the process, how to control the speed and flow of the story, how to design pages, how "rough" a dummy should be and what it should look like when it's ready to submit. I feel so much more confident in my ability to do this thing that I've been dreaming about for so long! Watch out publishing world, because I'm coming at you! Thanks guys for all the value you've packed into this course.
