I’ve decided to study the illustrations of those that inspire me, and over the next year I’ll be sketching what I like most.
Today it’s one of Patrick Benson’s Owl Babies.
I’m taking part in PiBoIdMo 2014, aka Picture Book Idea Month! This is the first time I have taken part, and I’m really excited about it.
The challenge is to create 30 picture book concepts in 30 days, and while you don’t have to write a manuscript, you can if it feels right.
I’ll share the daily posts here, so look out for them 🙂
