*Chapter book illustrations. (Older children 8-12)
Chapter books are normally for readers between the reading stages of picture books and young adults. The first type of chapter books (ages 7-8) will normally contain a lot of illustrations and shorter chapters, while the older range (ages 8-12) has more moderate/or no illustrations and longer chapters. However, it is important to note this is not a rule as books such as Harry Potter by JK Rowling do not have interior illustrations. Yet some books like Dairy of the Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney have illustrations on nearly every page.
For this competition I would like you to draw an illustration for your favourite chapter book, it does not matter if has illustrations in the book already or not.
I also need to ask a few questions, this is to help me with my university research. I am writing a paper on the purpose of book illustrations and illustrating emotions using only black and white.
Everyone's work will appear on this blog, it may appear on my social media, in my research and in future projects relating to this. (So it is important I get permission from the person responsible for you.)
