Something that's really important to me as I illustrate is keeping consistency through the pages. If the boy has a red shirt here, he will have to have the same shirt on every page. This means, I have to really like the choices I make because I will be drawing them over and over. It's something I never thought about before starting this journey, how much the artist must consider the details.

Sometimes a hike in the woods can change you forever.

This is the opening spread from my latest picture book dummy for "Let's Go On A Dragon Hunt."

It's a story about fear… and the people who help us face it. The dragons in this book don't just stay in the woods, they follow the boy throughout his life.

I'm querying agents for this one right now, fingers crossed. 🤞

What's the bravest thing you ever did as a kid? ❤️

So many changes for one little scene, and so many more changes before it’s done. #process #illustration #kidlitart #showyourwork taken in Iowa by @nickiwyldes
