I'm a designer who can draw, so theoretically I can illustrate children's books...
I thought it would be interesting for people to see the process of illustrating and putting a book together. I've kept all my first drawings from the last year, so I'll show how I worked out the style of illustration and got better at it, then I'll skip to the book I'm working on now and blog the process in almost real time. Although I've already sketched a first draft.
This is the first thing I drew, I think. It is for a book in the MM series still in the pipeline about a toy picnic or something, and it was a test run when the idea for doing these kid's books was still a hazy potential. It's rather cute and very on the realism side. Realism is a lot of hard work, it was a good thing we didn't go down that path.
