Lessons from picture book illustrators

[pambachorz]

Yesterday my kidlit bookclub discussed Dilys Evans’ title Show and Tell: The Fine Art of Picture Book Illustration.

I’ll admit that I wasn’t sure this would be the most relevant book for me, since I focus on writing YA and I’m definitely not an artist. But I’m so glad I read this book. I discovered new illustrators and learned fascinating things

You are very right with everything - I do my best to be diverse, but I still mostly do concept art that I want to expand to realism but I still feel myself gravitating towards the prior because that's where I was rooted and started with lol.

Check out my page for variety diverse artwork - I'm sure you'll have a blast. :)

And if you have further advice - I'd welcome it, because I'm a complete noobie when it comes to marketing/ promoting my art-work.

Regards. :)
