Illustration Online Art Course
Tutored by Steven Hersey
The Illustration Art Course is a Diploma Course.
Discover a whole new world of artistic expression with the Illustration Art Diploma Course from London Art College.
This written course, taught by professional illustrator Steven Hersey, is for
anyone interested in visualising words in a multitude of forms from
poetry to magazine articles to children's stories and a whole lot more.
Throughout this course you will learn how to transform words and
concepts to pictures using a methodology which can be applied to any
genre of illustration. Through practical, creative assignments you will
illustrate songs, poems, magazine articles, try your hand at graphic
design, illustrating a children's story and draw your own graphic novel
and comic strip.
You can study at your own pace, bring your own
style and grow your illustration confidence with Steven alongside you
every step of the way. Some previous art experience is desirable
although the course will begin with a recap on basic skills and
techniques.
The course is suitable for everyone who wants to improve their abilities to draw and paint their stories, articles or concepts or those of others. The tutoring will be scaled to your abilities and aspirations. Come and learn how to transform words into pictures for the very first time, bring a project with you which needs a boost or take those first steps towards a possible career as an illustrator in your chosen field. All abilities, ambitions and mediums welcomed.
By the end of the course you will have a built a diverse illustration portfolio across multiple genres, enjoyed yourself and increased your confidence.
Students are able to upload their artwork to the 'The Art Room' on our website. Each student is given a unique username and password on enrolment for their own private section in The Art Room.
Students can upload their artwork for the tutor to collect and critique. The tutor will then upload feedback for the student to download. If you do not have facilities to upload your artwork, you can mail your artwork to the tutors centre and receive your artwork back with your critique. It is essential you label all packages/artwork with your student number.
All our courses are written to be complete in themselves. However we realise that students may appreciate being able to get clarification about various things as they work through their programme as well wanting reassurance that they are putting techniques into practice effectively. The tutors provide the technical support to deal with relevant queries.
Most courses have their own dedicated Tutor. The tutor keeps the course up to date and relevant to today's students. They are available to the individual student for advice and encouragement. Each course has regular exercises and assignments that are constructed in such a way as to give the student the opportunity to practice the techniques learnt on the course and to test themselves as they go along. The student is encouraged to submit the assignment work to the college for the tutor to critique.
The student's work will be returned together with the tutor's personal critique. On many courses the assignment work may be suitable for inclusion in a student's Portfolio of Work that could be very useful later. The college will use the assignments submitted as the basis for any award of a letter, certificate or diploma.

I loved the folder and the paper course, everything explained so clearly, possible to scribble on or remove the relevant sheet temporarily... the format was so practical and attractive, very enjoyable. In fact I enjoyed the whole course very much, and found Mr Hersey's feedback tremendously valuable, interesting and constructive. Thank you!
The course was excellent and the feedback I received was first rate. I would highly recommend this course to anyone and look forward to the next one I take.
I am sad that it is finished. The progress is bigger with a tutor.
I am very satisfied with the course and I am grateful for the excellent feedback from the tutor which are always a pleasure to read and a good way for me to know where I can improve.
