I needed a purpose and direction for my aimless doodles, and a  genuine reason for getting marker pen stains on the sofa and paint spots on the conservatory floor to tell my girlfriend. My course tutor, Jan Nesbitt,  has given me the confidence, guidance and focus to enable me to experiment  with new mediums. Each assignment has offered new challenges and I have found  this very rewarding. The skills developed on this course have inspired me to begin  work on my own children\u2019s book.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-643\" title=\"childrens-illustration1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"538\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration1.jpg 538w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration1-255x300.jpg 255w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 538px) 100vw, 538px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-644\" title=\"childrens-illustration2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"538\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration2.jpg 538w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration2-255x300.jpg 255w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 538px) 100vw, 538px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-642\" title=\"childrens-illustration\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"538\" height=\"755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration.jpg 538w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration-213x300.jpg 213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 538px) 100vw, 538px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-645\" title=\"childrens-illustration3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"538\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration3.jpg 538w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration3-300x247.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 538px) 100vw, 538px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paul Rathborne has now completed the children&#8217;s illustration diploma course and we have showcased a few of his pieces below.
