This pack will help you get started! It’s full of great warm-up exercises to inspire you to create your very own imaginary creature so you can enter our illustration competition.  \nOur amazing judge, Luke Flowers, has even created a step-by-step guide to drawing a Triantiwontigongolope –just like the one in our latest issue.  \nAll you need to get going is to print off this pack, grab some pencils and fire up your imagination!  \nIN THIS PACK:  \n10 Top Tips for Beginner Illustrators Warm-up Doodles Activity  \nWacky Creature Creator  \nFinish the Illustration Grids Copy the Creature Grids Draw a Triantiwontigongolope Step-by-Step Doodle Sheet  \nGrid Sheet Triantiwontigongolope Colouring Sheet Drawing Sheet  \nStorytime Illustration Competition Entry Form  \n© [storytimemagazine.com 2017](storytimemagazine.com 2017)  \nStorytime Illustration Competition: Anniversary Issue ~~ ~~STetaochrinyg~~ ~~RtesiomurceesTM  \n10 TOP TIPS FOR BEGINNER ILLUSTRATORS  \nLook for illustrations. They are everywhere! Not just in Storytime magazine, but also in picture books and chapter books. You’ll see them in advertisements, on signs and on packaging. Which ones do you like best and why? Start an inspiration scrapbook and fill it with your favourite illustrations.  \nCopying is a great way to get started. Copy anything and everything! Flick through the pages of Storytime and copy the illustrations you like best. Use the grids in this pack to help you.  \nDraw whenever you can and wherever you can. Draw every day! Carry a sketchpad with you and draw any animal you see. The more you draw, the better you’ll get. And the more you draw, the sooner you’ll find a style of your own, instead of copying other illustrators.  \nWhen you first create a character, fill a whole page with sketches and doodles. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Experiment and have fun. Come back to it the next day and choose the sketches you like best. Work on them some more until you get it just right.  \nLook at your pet or a picture of your favourite animal. Really look at it. Now, without peeking at it again, sketch it in 60 seconds. How many details did you manage to sketch? This exercise will help you improve your sketching and observation skills. Keep at it until you get better and more confident.  \n© [storytimemagazine.com 2017](storytimemagazine.com 2017)  \nEverything is made from shapes – animals too! A cat’s head is acircle with two triangles for ears. Its legs are long, thin rectangles. Its body is an oval. Draw your favourite animal or pet in basic shapes only. Try this with different animals.  \nDraw the head first, then add the body (unless you’ve created an animal with an all-in-one head and body, like a snake) . Don’t add details like arms, legs, tails or facial features until you’ve got the head and body shapes right.  \nAn illustrated face doesn’t have to have lots of detail to be full of expression. Just two dots for eyes and two lines for eyebrows can say a lot, depending on where you put those dots and lines. Experiment in our Warm-Up Doodles Activity.  \nOnce you’ve mastered the basic body and head shape and the face, draw your animal in different positions. Observe how the animal moves, eats and sleeps. Can you capture any of those poses in 60-second sketches? Fill a sketchbook page.  \nWhen you’ve got the position right, add textures, pattern (like stripy fur or scales) and colour to turn your sketch into a proper illustration. Experiment with all three of these elements until  \nyou’ve got it just right.  \ntop tip!  \nMake cards for your friends and family with your drawings on them. This will help you to get better at drawing and more confident about showing your work to other people. You might even get your first illustration job creating a card for someone you know!  \n© [storytimemagazine.com 2017](storytimemagazine.com 2017)  \nStorytime Illus","cbCailArRGNbM2YG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailArRGNbM2YG","pdf",2706243,6,1,16,"English","en",105,"# 10 Top Tips for Beginner Illustrators\n## Look for illustrations and build inspiration\n## Copy, draw daily, and develop a personal style\n## Character sketching, observation, and shapes\n## Add expression, poses, textures, pattern, and colour\n# Warm-up Doodles Activity\n## Turn nothing into something\n## Wacky Creature Creator\n## Finish the Illustration\n# Creature Grids and Step-by-Step Doodle Sheet\n## Copy the Creature Grids\n## Draw a Triantiwontigongolope -
