"Illustrating Children's Picture Books delves into the world of illustrated books for children of all ages. It provides an international overview of today's top children's illustrators, with interviews and expert information from leading practitioners in the field. The book also offers practical workthroughs on specific creative techniques and design solutions, from traditional drawing, painting, and pen and ink, through to digital design. Discussions on how to pace content, create emotion, develop a narrative, bring a character to life, define an age group, and culturally specific to an audience are spread throughout."--Page 4 of cover.
