About this Course

Have you ever thought about making a children’s book? Maybe you have a story idea and like to draw, or have a friend who draws? But then what?

Join Julia and Russell on their quest to create their own children’s book, a book about the fastest roadrunner that ever lived. Not only will you see them bring the story to life with words and illustrations, but you’ll also tag along as they do all aspects of the book production, including working with a printer to bring it to life.

In this series, you’ll see episodes that include research, including a road trip through Roadrunner Rikke’s world, the Southwest United States. There are also episodes showing Julia’s efforts to bring Rikke to life in 3D with a clay model, illustration studies, and more. See case studies of the characters, landscapes, and more. See the book produced using InDesign and get ready for print.
