I wondered if there might be a Home Study course somewhere on this subject, fired up the computer and found this almost straight away!<\/p>\n<p>I enrolled as soon as i could and with the gentle, encouraging and wonderfully humerous tuition of Jan I could feel my confidence\u00a0returning, I am nearly at the end of the course now and it has taken me a little longer than some due to my health problems ( and the soiree&#8217;s into the Pet Portrait world! thanks Melanie and the members of Pet Portrait forum for their wonderful\u00a0help when i needed to earn some money to fund art materials! )<\/p>\n<p>My goal at the moment is to finish the course and strive to do the best work I can ( and get the trim marks and bleed right for once!!! not my strongest point! ) then embark on the follow up course and see where I end up, but for the moment im enjoying the journey immensely!&#8230;&#8221;<br \/>\nDebi aka Moonstone<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration-course3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-656\" title=\"childrens-illustration-course3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration-course3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"538\" height=\"854\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration-course2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-655\" title=\"childrens-illustration-course2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration-course2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"538\" height=\"854\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration-course1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-654\" title=\"childrens-illustration-course1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration-course1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"538\" height=\"854\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration-course.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full  wp-image-653\" title=\"childrens-illustration-course\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration-course.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"538\" height=\"755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration-course.jpg 538w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/childrens-illustration-course-213x300.jpg 213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 538px) 100vw, 538px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Debi has just completed the Children&#8217;s illustration Diploma course and we are proud to showcase her work along with her story on this blog.
