About the Author\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Over the years, I have experienced a wide variety of ways to learn illustration \u2014 from self-taught beginnings (out of necessity, because I didn\u2019t have a teacher), to the structured education of a graphic design degree, to participating in specialized workshops.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I learned something valuable from each of these paths, but becoming an illustrator took me an unusually long time. None of these methods focused specifically on what I was looking for.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

That is why I felt the need to fill a gap and create a method that would allow anyone to learn the art of children\u2019s books effectively, and within a reasonable time frame.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Because I personally know the challenges faced by aspiring illustrators, my goal was to simplify the technical side so that the creative side could have more room to grow.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I decided to structure the topics as if they were subjects in a degree program \u2014 and that\u2019s how the module system was born. Then I sought out specialists for each module, which has been essential in bringing a rich diversity of perspectives.<\/p>

This is what inspired me to create this school.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

What truly sets our school apart is the value of real results.<\/span>
<\/span>More than 50 students<\/strong> have published at least one illustrated book, and at least 80 students who studied at the school for an average of three years are now working professionally as illustrators, both nationally and internationally.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Around 70 books<\/strong> developed as class projects were later published professionally or received awards and distinctions in major international competitions.<\/strong><\/span><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

<\/span> \u201cAs someone who has personally faced the challenges of becoming a professional illustrator, my goal was to simplify the technical aspects so that creativity could take center stage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
