Might we ever have a class on JUST doing thumbnails?

@christine-garner Thank you.

@lee-white Thanks. I am enrolled in a couple of classes this fall-2D Design and a watercolor class-not necessarily ilustration foundations but, the 2D design might be helpful to me, I think. I looked at the Illustration 1 class but it looks like it has already started on July 11th to Sept 5th? I will be gone quite a bit in July and August so it would be hard to take it at that time. Will it be offered again? If so, when? Thanks. Also, is it mainly coming up with ideas for images ?

Here are some thumbnails I did. Think I'm getting it?

@marsha-kay-ottum-owen Thumbnails are basically a step to try a bunch of stuff out. If you are able to do that, then you are getting it.The big step is doing a lot of variations on a single image. If you just go with what you did for the first thumbnail, then more are needed.

Yes definitely on the right track
I found a SCWIBI article on this subject that I think is relevant to your topic and might help you (I thought I should brush upon this stuff as well because I'm working on a personal project which could be a book but I'm still in very early stages)http://www.wordsandpics.org/2013/08/picture-book-basics-sketches-and-layout.html
I found this article through this blog post: http://thebigbadbook.com/thumbnails-and-storyboards/Here's another tip: I found out that sometimes the thumb-nailing stage is called "picture book story-boarding" so you might find more tips looking for that word or variations of it in Google.

@christine-garner Great links! I put a lot of notes in the margins of my storyboards, too!
-
@christine-garner Thanks! I will check that out!
-
@lee-white Right! And, at least there is something to start with!
-
@lee-white scheduling has been a problem for me for both offerings to date as well--will this class be available to subscribers after it ends?
-
@bichonbistro hate to say that it won't be available to general subscriptions. It is a class that totally relies on the back and forth between the student and instructor. It's not really a "demo" type of class like a lot of the videos are
