Malvern School of Art

What an amazing experience this has been! Tull is so knowledgeable, generous and patient. His course is really well-paced, with every aspect of the program clearly outlined and discussed in each lesson. The classes are packed with interesting and inventive ways to bring your storyline and illustrations to life and all of our questions were answered articulately and with honesty throughout. Tull is such a talented and creative mentor. He kindly shares great ideas and recommendations, along with plenty of fantastic hints on drawing characters and bringing scenes to life. He is very supportive and enthusiastic and every week I walked away feeling that I had learnt so much and was excited to build upon what we'd been shown and taught. It's been an amazing experience and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Tull. I highly recommend this course for anyone with an interest in creating a children's book, especially those who aren't quite sure where to start.

This course is excellent. I cannot emphasise enough how helpful it has been, and how many potentially costly mistakes it has prevented me from making! I now feel fully prepared for the rest of the journey. The teaching is exceptional; everything is so simple, yet well explained. Rasy to follow instructions and examples. Plenty of tailored one on one guidance. The feedback students receive is incredibly helpful with wonderful suggestions to improve your work, delivered in such a lovely manner. Particularly grateful to have a facilitator who is so experienced in both writing and illustrating, it makes a big difference! I’m so glad I found this course. It feels like I have a huge head start now. Highly recommend to anybody seriously considering this path.

This class was just incredible! Tull is a wealth of knowledge and just truly amazing at what he does - from going over all the aspects of putting together a children’s book, whilst providing an environment where the art & illustrations are allowed to flourish through the course. I cannot believe how much my art improved from my stick figure drawings in week one and honestly it is a testament to Tull and his patient and detailed teaching and guidance. If you have any inkling of publishing a children’s book one day, please take this class-you will not regret it. And even for those who are just looking to learn a new craft and art form, this class would still be worth the investment. It expands your world and you learn so much. Highly, highly recommend!
