We just wrapped up our last class for "Illustrating Children's Books" at SVS! We covered a lot of ground in our 13 class sessions which started in January 2015. If you missed our LIVE class you can still get the videos of our class and see every lesson and presentation. You'll see all aspects of what it takes to illustrate artwork for all kinds of children's books. The art of visual storytelling is complex but anyone with the passion and dedication can master it with the right information. We do not have plans for our next LIVE session for this class but you can always check our site for new classes. 

We are giving free critiques to any group of ten people who buy this class and join together. Critiques for groups are held using GoToMeeting software online. We provide the forum and will draw over your work and tell you exactly what you need to do to move forward. If you have a group of 10 people interested in this class email us at svslearninfo@gmail.com to schedule your critique session. 

Here are a few emails we received after the class: 

I also wanted to let you and Jake know how much I am enjoying the course. You guys have really exceeded my expectations with the amount of information you’ve given us in the pdfs and all the critiques have been so helpful. You guys make it look so easy!   - Melissa

I love how you guys present the information on the courses. The interview with Stephen Fraser was so good. One of my favourite lessons.   -Judy

Thanks again to you and Jake for a really really great class.  I was an art major for just one year and it was awhile ago, but I cannot think of one class that was as substantive and well-organized or the instructors as prepared, interesting and fun as you & Jake.  I couldn't wait for that year to be over, but I definitely did NOT want this class to end  - Patty 

The price for this class will increase after we launch our new website in a month or two - stay on top of all our progress on our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/schoolofvisualstorytelling You can also sign up for our email list from the facebook page.

Finished With My Movie Characters


This little personal challenge was harder than I thought it would be. I thought I had enough time but then other work demands seemed like they began spawning out of control. I wish I wasn't so glad that it's over but I am. I will definitely re-visit this idea again as it really was fun coming up with these. You can get prints or even a T-Shirt of all of them right here! http://society6.com/willterryart

Starting A Little Fan Art Series


I started doodling some of my favorite characters from movies. I'm starting off by showing you this one...each day for the next 9 days I'll upload a new one. I wanted to do something in the fan art space for a long time but I just didn't know what to do - the answer was right in front of me. Just make them cute kids.

This fits in with my style of art and can even attract a few people to perhaps venture over to my print shop at Society6 and maybe pick one up? Doodling like this is therapeutic for me - I don't have to think too much - just tinker when I'm in a meeting or waiting at the doctor's office, etc. Check it out in the print shop.
