How to make a picture book

How to make a picture book is as follows:

1, create a story first. Create a short and interesting story with draft paper, or find a story you have read, such as Andersen's fairy tales and Bible stories. This seems to be the blueprint for making picture books.

2. Mark the page number on the text. After the story is written, page the text, that is, how many pages should these words be written? If you need 10 pages, then this picture book has 10 pages. If there are no design pages, these pages without text should be added to the body.

3. Paper-cutting. Choose a picture book from ten picture books with different sizes, and cut it into A4 white paper according to the size of the picture book. For students with poor painting skills, it is recommended to make small-sized picture books.

4. Bind picture books. After cutting the paper, simply bind it with a stapler and number the book (except the front cover, back cover, butterfly page and title page).

5. draw pictures. Draw from the text, draw with your own tools, stick figure, sketch, watercolor, crayon, gouache? Anything will do. Draw first, then add words.

6. Fill in the text. When all the pictures are finished, start to fill in the text, paying attention to the correct writing of the text; The placement position should be coordinated with the picture.

7. Complete the design and production of front cover, back cover, title page and copyright page.

8. Binding. When all the pictures and words are read, finally, the picture book is completely bound. When binding, in addition to binding with a stapler, you can also wrap the spine with tape for protection.
