I have been a self-publishing author on Amazon for the last 10 years. I mainly do nonfiction books, but I had always wanted to try to produce a children's picture book. You know the type, with a nice picture and some small amounts of writing underneath to tell the story. A friend of mine suddenly came up with an idea of producing a story featuring the cats that lived at his garage workshop. I thought this was a good idea, but at the time I was completely stuck when it came to doing the illustrations. The usual way is to find somebody who is good at art and team up with them. I wasn't good at art and neither was he. Other authors pay for an artist to do the illustrations. This isn't good either. Imagine how much that costs! It really defeats the object of doing self-publishing. Anyway, after contemplating the problem for several days I came up with a strategy to produce the images on my computer using some free software that I had downloaded from the internet. I started work on the book and after a while I was refining my strategy and coming up with more and more convincing illustrations. You have to understand that I am really not that great at drawing. The strategies used in this book will allow you to produce convincing drawings that have the correct proportions and the right perspective so that everything looks the correct size as you look into the depth of your illustration. The book includes full instructions on how to get the software to perform the simple tasks you need to do, without getting into complicated technical procedures.
