Do you struggle to finish your picture book ideas?
Do they burn bright for a while, then fizzle out?
Fun things happening ✨✨✨
Fun thing #1 - “How to anchor your picture book ideas so they don’t fizzle out.”
We’ve all been there: shiny new idea, exciting, exciting, exciting. But oh, I can’t finish it. I’ll try another. Oh, I can’t finish it. And so it goes… Don’t worry, I have made a film to help you FINISH YOUR PICTURE BOOK IDEAS!
Early birds who join The Picture Book Course between Friday 14th Feb at 7pm (when doors open) and Monday 17th Feb at 10pm will get instant access to a top-secret shiny new workshop bonus I have been making this week, it’s all about how to anchor your picture book ideas so they don’t fizzle out.
Fun thing #2 - Picture Book chat
We’ll be talking about how we wrote the stories together and exploring the picture book creation process.
It’s happening next Wednesday and it’s free, you just need to be getting The Good Ship Illustration emails which you can do here.


Fun thing #3 - Art Clubs!
Loads of Good Ship Art Club over on Instagram. We’re going live at 7pm UK time this friday and next! See you there if you fancy doing a bit of fun low pressure drawing with arty pals. Don’t worry about the results, everyone’s drawings will be wonderfully wonky!
We’re @thegoodshipillustration on IG.
