How To Get Into Illustration for Children

Creating work and being commissioned for illustration that's focused on children can be very rewarding. There?s a whole range of products, entertainment and services focused on children utilising illustration. There is a large market in animation: games, puzzles and toys are produced with child appealing imagery; events and festivals are staged which will require the right kind of illustration along with books, magazines and lifestyle/health products aimed at children.

This downloadable publication covers what you need to know; from what to expect from these areas of commissioning and the type of illustration examples you'll require, to briefs, licences and contracts for commissions focused on children. The resource also includes illuminating quotes from illustrators and agents involved in this broad area.
