Illustration Roundtable

A week ago or so ago I was pleased to be included in a talk about kids books. It is great to hear the different ways illustrators approach children's books. Michael did an animation to introduce the presentation.

 

With my presentation I wanted to say that I try to show the emotions behind a picture, what the characters feel as well as what they are doing.

The other illustrators were Jacqueline Hudon-Verrelli, her first book Bye, Bye, Butterflies! is coming out in June and it looks very cute!

Dave Whamond has a new book coming out in October with an intriguing title, Oddrey.

and Carolyn Fisher talked about her books including the most recent Goodnight World. Carolyn does many presentations for kids and it's a lot of fun to hear her talk about making books. This is a thumbnail  sketch from her blog.
