On Sunday, August 2nd, at the end of what shall be a fantastic virtual conference, Pat Cummings, Laurent Linn and Cecilia Yung will be hosting the SCWBI Illustrators' Intensive!
The secret is building a strong emotional connection between your story, your images, and your reader. Powerful storytellers shape their experiences to create dynamic visual narratives that help us make sense of our lives. They reframe personal anecdotes that enable us to recognize ourselves in their stories. They capture specific and nuanced details that invite us into their world. As illustrators, they take advantage of color, composition, expressions, and body language to express the emotions of the experience, so that their fascination, excitement, and disappointment become ours. Their personal stories are grounded in the shared experience—as much about us as they are about them.That’s the thrilling alchemy of storytelling.
Three successful illustrators show how their perceptions shape their unique styles and share the different ways they translate their distinct experiences into impactful visual stories that resonate with readers of all ages.
Who Should Attend?
The Illustrators' Intensive is open to SCBWI Premium Members only. There is an additional $95 fee. Members can purchase the Illustrators Half-Day Intensive as a package with the Portfolio Showcase for a reduced rate.
