First Days

The first two days of our course were entirely taken up by individual presentations done by each member of the class. Although doing my presentation was quite a terrifying experience, it was really interesting seeing everyone else's work an hearing about where they had come from and what they hope to achieve on the course. There are people from all over the world and all different backgrounds, some people having studied illustration before and others having never having studied any kind of art at all. And everything in between, from painters and graphic designers to textile designers and animators. I'm really interested to see how everyone adapts their work to fit the children's book illustration theme.

One of our tutors is author and illustrator Alexis Deacon and he drew each one of us during our presentations! http://alexisdeacon.blogspot.com/2013/10/first-day-of-term.html
