London Art College student Rebecca Sullivan has recently completed the Illustrating Children’s Books Diploma Course, achieving a very well deserved distinction, and it is a real pleasure to showcase her outstanding work on the blog. Rebecca’s illustrations demonstrate an exceptional level of imagination, storytelling, and technical skill. From charming, whimsical scenes to beautifully observed pen and ink illustrations, her work shows both versatility and a confident command of different illustrative styles. Her character design is particularly strong, with expressive figures that feel full of personality and narrative intent. The festive illustration featuring the cow is utterly delightful, while her detailed black and white work reveals a meticulous approach and excellent control of line. Rebecca’s final body of work is imaginative, accomplished, and a joy to explore, making this distinction thoroughly earned.
The Illustrating Children’s Books Diploma Course, taught by Paul Weaver, is designed to help students develop strong visual storytelling skills alongside technical and creative confidence. The course covers character development, narrative illustration, composition, and stylistic exploration, supporting students as they build a cohesive and engaging portfolio suitable for children’s publishing. With detailed feedback and structured guidance throughout, students are encouraged to refine their ideas and develop their own illustrative voice. Rebecca’s exceptional results highlight both her dedication and the depth of learning offered by the course.
