Illustration Tips For A Childrens Book About Celebrities

By Sally Delacruz


Kids should be given the chance to proper education. Even at their early age, they should be able to access to reading materials that are suitable for their intelligence level. One of the many appropriate reading materials which should be provided to them is the childrens book about celebrities. It will inspire them to shine at such an early age.

You should know that the kids get bored easily. That is why, when it comes to the said reading materials, you have to make sure to get their attention. The illustration will do this job. This will play a central role in the storytelling of the said reading material. It is a very important part of the said reading material.

To those who are working as an illustrator for these types of books, then you better determine what the best tips are for this kind of work. This is so that you can make the books more appropriate for the little kids. No matter how difficult it is, you have to work hard to ensure that the kids learn a lot from the books you make. Here are some tips you can use for that.

First, you better make preparations for this work. Collect ideas based on what appeals the most to your target audience. The illustrations should appeal to both the publishers as well as young readers. Just do your research on this. Read as many reading materials for kids as you can. This will allow you to have an eye on what is good and what is bad in a kid's read.

You should focus on what is the main theme as well as tone of the reading material. You should read it so that you can get the idea on the plot as well as the mood of the story. Remember that the plot as well as the mood of the story will have a big impact on what drawings you will draw for that reading material.

It is also necessary for you to read the text of the reading materials carefully. You will need to divide the entire story into small parts. Each of the said sections are what you will be illustrating. When illustrating, it is only natural for you to look for verbs describing actions. That will allow you to have a better drawing.

In the actual illustration, you better create a few sketches first. You should get a sketchbook to make a plan on the general layout of the said reading material. Show how the illustrations fit the page, alter the sizes of the pictures, and see to it that they are easily understood. It should also have a visual impact.

The illustrations should have colors. If you can, you should try using image editing software to illustrate the picture book in a digital format. You can also draw the sketches and just color them by hand. If you prefer coloring it by hand, then select either watercolor image on paper or bright acrylic image on canvas.

Remember to transfer the rough draft to its final medium. When it comes to the final medium, it can be in canvas, illustration board, or watercolor paper. You should then enhance the drawing further. Once you are satisfied with the final product, send it in to the publisher or in-charge for submission.
