Academy of Art - School of Illustration - Children's book publishing

When researching illustration techniques, I came across this filmed lecture from the Children's book illustration course in the Academy of Art. Although I had not heard of the illustrators talking, it was a really interesting lecture, and discussed the normal process for illustration in publishing to work.

The key thing I took from this, is that it takes well over a year to plan and illustrate a book solidly, so to complete a book, an animation and an app to a marketable level is simply unachievable in the time scale, even to just complete one of these in the style and medium wanted is simply unrealistic.
