| Mrs. Pepper's Party Illustration from a class at SVS |
A few months ago, I stumbled upon a gem: internet classes and videos teaching story Illustration. I never knew! I've now sat in live internet "classrooms" with people from all over the world, watched some amazing videos, and have crammed this passion for learning the craft of illustration into all the spare moments I can find in a day.
Illustrator Will Terry was the first person I found who provides a wealth of online support and encouragement to those eager to learn about illustration. His most recent offering is SVS, the School of Visual Storytelling. I was tickled to be a part of the very first class taught at SVS, and recently completed a second course. I also participated in a crazy fun Photoshop Power Day where Will had assembled four other professional illustrators to join him in doing demos for us - 12.5 total hours of instruction! Will has many free videos on YouTube (including a series for kids!), as well as affordable video lessons at Folio Academy.
Check out the links above if you want to learn more about illustration. Or hunt around online for something else that grabs your interest. Why not? It's all there on the internet!
