How many thumbnail sketches do you normally do before diving into your final piece? I'm stretching myself to do more of them so I can hopefully come up with more interesting layouts. Aiming for a minimum of 20 for Little Red. I've got 13 so far, which is a lot for me. #redridinghood #sketchbook #fairytale #littlered #bigbadwolf #layout #design #sketchbookdiaries #illustration #illustratingpicturebooks #thumbnails #childrensillustration #storytelling #pushyourboundaries

UNPLUG.----- I'm back in Durban after 10 weeks in California. Took a little break from drawing after the crazy whirlwind of prepping for the SCBWI conference and client work. Went camping. Read books. Got on a plane and travelled for 32 hrs. Caught some waves. Caught up with friends, and my dog. Getting back into things now by taking part in #doodleadaysept . The prompt list looks fun! #doodleaday #draweveryday #sketchbook #illustration #editorialillustration #doodle #childrensbookillustration #unplug
