Will Terry - illustrator , owner of www.svslearn.com - online illustration classes for children's book illustrators. He also has an amazing you tube channel where I found many usefull informations regarding children book ilustration. 

When Will was young, his life was not colourful as he had some trubles in school. He ha hates Maths, English and Science and he faound learning quite difficoult. Than bad school experience makes him feel stupid as everyone else did very well in school. His self esteem was very low, luckily he found art! His story reminds me myself as I hated maths and science and I tried hard to be as good as my friends and siblings. Fortunately many years later he realized that it was the system - not him. Public schools system encourage children to be an auditory learners rather than visual learners. Will created the blog where he gives many advices to parents with creative children's. I wish to find someone like Will Terry during my time in school. Hovewer , I never give up drawing and now many, many years later I am in Univerity trying my best.

Will Terry is a big inspiration for me as he did not give up, moreover he is helping others. His very inspiring, full of information you tube channel and blog help many people to belive in themselves and even became illustrators! Will achived anormous success as he ilustrated over 30 books for children, 3 e-books and 3 story apps! After bad experience in school, he became a teacher himself and he teach Iluustration UVU in Utah and he teach online at svslearn.com . Will Terry loves making fun art for Comic Con and beeing very supportive for everyone who is willing to learn ilustration.

Eco Academy Tote Bag mock up

 Finally I was bereave  enough to experiment with the Photoshop to create the tote bag for the school. I  started with the mock up picture which I found on the free mock up website, and I downloaded it on the laptop.  After transferring the picture to the Photoshop I used a clone tool to remove the design which was already there, however a few minutes after I have finished designing the bag I learned how to do it in completely different way. I knew I am doing something wrong as it took me to long .    I used the same free background logo which I created earlier in Procreate . I fit it to the tote bag size and I saved the picture in jpg, choosing "file" and " save as"  on the left top corner . I am happy with the results, the picture is sharp in a good quality.

 In my project I will draw illustrations to a short story for children, therefore this research will help me to find information and answer to the big question: " What's make the great children book illustration? "  There is many factors what I need to consider before I will start drawing: - the age group.  - type an style of illustrations suitable for this age group - the book style - how many illustration I will include in my page. - what to avoid in the illustrations for children To decide in what style I will draw the pictures is also very important. Is that will be more cartoony or scary or is the pictures are relevant to the story. For example soft and gentle illustrations would not be perfect for a story about monsters. Go to the library an look at the real children's book is a good place to find the inspirations.  Is important to decide how many illustrations will be included in the book and what type of illustrations they are. That will affect to overal layo...

During the meeting with the Tutor ,we have discussed everything regarding to my project. I have introduced my ideas and my first sketches to the book. "The magic of the amulet" is a story written by my friend's daughter. There are three main characters - Abby the little girl who lives on the tropical Island with her friends: Olivia the dolphin and Patrick the crab. I already know how they will look like. I need to think how to draw the Island and mermaids. In my head it will be a magical and colorful,  fantasy World.  My first idea was to draw 4 pictures based on the story and to make front and back cover. The Tutor advice was to create two more pages as the story will be more interesting and easier to read for the children. We talk trough every page and I am convinced now that is good idea to draw two additional pages. I will use Procreate and Flipsnack and I will make a mock book  to be able to see how will my book look in real life. I was so excided with this idea , th...
