Christine Ryder has recently completed the Illustrating Children’s Books Diploma Course, achieving a very well deserved distinction, and we are delighted to share a selection of her work on the blog. Christine’s illustrations are full of imagination, colour, and narrative energy, showing a strong understanding of visual storytelling for a young audience. Her work moves confidently between playful scenes, expressive characters, and more detailed illustrative compositions, all with a clear sense of fun and creativity. There is a wonderful freedom in her approach, combined with thoughtful design and composition, making her illustrations both engaging and memorable. Achieving a distinction reflects the quality and consistency of Christine’s work, and her final submission is a joy to showcase.
The Illustrating Children’s Books Diploma Course is designed to help students develop the skills needed to create illustrations that support and enhance a story. The course covers character development, narrative sequencing, composition, and style, while encouraging students to explore their own creative voice. With expert tuition and detailed feedback throughout, students are supported as they build a cohesive body of illustrative work suitable for children’s books. Christine’s success on the course highlights both her dedication and the creative potential nurtured through the programme. Visit our website to find out more!
