About Jack
My name is Jack Bean, I am from Doncaster, in the UK but I travel the world with the freedom that online work grants. I studied Illustration and Animation at Bolton University in Greater Manchester and graduated with a 1st class degree with Honours in 2009. Since then, I have worked as a professional illustrator for children’s books as my full time career. I have refined my own style of illustration with over 20 years of experience in illustrating children’s books. Ten years ago I founded ‘Izzy and Jack’- a children’s book publishing company and have since published hundreds of children’s picture books for clients around the world.

Lessons are suitable for everyone over 18 years and there are no restrictions on your illustration skills, although students are expected to have some level of artistic ability already. About me: I have been illustrating for children’s books for over 20 years as my full-time career. Ten years ago, I founded ‘Izzy and Jack’ - a children’s book publishing company. We have illustrated and published hundreds of children’s books for authors around the world. I have extensive experience talking and teaching in-groups - I host career days at schools regularly and am a guest speaker at the BBC’s touring ‘Bitesize’ event. I pride myself on creating a welcoming, relaxing environment for everyone, regardless of gender, sexuality, race or ability and make sure to listen to all involved so that each lesson is tailored at a pace comfortable to the students. Every lesson is followed by an email follow-up with an anonymous form to submit any feedback.
