Packing Materials for The Bologna Children's Book Fair

Hello! I went to the Bologna Children's Book Fair in 2024, and as I started packing my material choices for Bologna and I thought I would quickly just share what I chose with you! I don't swatch in this video but explain why I chose everything along with sharing my swatch page that I created before I started recording!

Drawing Club - perfect for complete beginners, or anyone who wants to learn different approaches to drawing a variety of subjects, and have something to sit down and draw each month 😊 Advanced illustration Club - This tier is ideal for any of you who already love illustrating but want to know more about different mediums, learn about techniques and drawing on location, as well as diving into my sketchbooks! Children's Book & Professional Practise - This is the ultimate tier for those of you wanting to get into/learn all about Childrens Book illustrating, as well as discovering everything there is to know about running an illustration business! A little bit about me: I am a full time illustrator, originally from The Lake District, now following my lifelong dream of living in Cornwall. I love working with a range of media and materials to bring charm and warmth to my illustrations. Since graduating, I have been continuously working as a freelance illustrator, designing my own ever expanding range of giftware, and collaborating with a broad range of clients, including books for international publishers, maps for Lake District National Park, and multiple ranges of best selling Christmas Hampers for Lakeland. I have always been inspired by nature and animals, and loves to work both by hand and digitally to bring her work to life. Living by the sea is a constant source of inspiration for me, as well as opening up my eyes to the issues our oceans face. When i'm not in the studio, I can be found surfing around the coasts of Cornwall, walking my 2 Border Terriers, hunting for treasures, or hiding in a cosy cafe with a cuppa and a slice of cake! Ill be sharing what I draw this month on this tier (along with sharing illustrations using the materials I tested earlier this month!), and then Ill share what I learn from the show regarding agents, publishers and children's book trends on my Children's Book tier! Lots of love, Becca xx
