Drawing and sketching Ideas: the backbone of illustration for children.




The most exciting part of illustrating for me is exploring ideas in a spontaneous and immediate way. Grabbing tools that are easily at hand such as sketchbooks and pen and inks can result in the most intimate drawings that reflect emotion and feeling unhindered by accuracy and careful draughtsmanship.

This is such a little sketch completed one night while sitting at the dining room table. I had this strong urge just to get something onto paper in my sketchbook before dinner and this is what happened.

Just pity the drawing on the following page is showing through!
