DRAW STORIES PEOPLE REMEMBER

Illustration and Story is about narrative image-making: characters with personality, worlds with weather, sequences with pace. Over ten Wednesday evenings you build skill in ink, watercolour and digital finishing while developing one complete visual story from thumbnail to final art.

Taught by a published children's-book illustrator, the course ends with a saddle-stitched mini-book of your story, printed for the end-of-term show. Ideal for aspiring illustrators — and for writers who want to draw.
