Picture Book Blog

I found this lovely blog about picture book illustration  today.
In particular there is a feature on one of  Beatrice Alegmagna's books- one of my favourite artists at the
moment.



Definitely food for thought!

'Big Draw, Big Make' at the V&A as part of 'the Big Draw 2012'

I went to the Big Draw with my mum in Autumn half term - no, it wasn't just meant for kids!
There were lots of great activities on offer incorporating different areas of drawing from cartoon artists to architectural practices.
Included are some photos of drawings made during a workshop run by the children's illustrator Petr Horacek. The activity was to create animal illustrations. Your chosen creature had to be doing some strange or was just in general something out of the ordinary.
