They wanted a small intimate group for this workshop. They were all interested in illustrating children’s picture books and wanted to know more about how I approach illustrating. It was also a group of friends. We were able to stay in beautiful St George and provided with a wonderful spread of food each day. It was so nice to see the ladies dive in and start working on their story boards and character designs. The above illustration is from a picture book I’m working on. I jump back and forth from story board, to story rewrite, to character studies. All of the steps help with the other steps. It’s is like solving the greatest puzzle, to decide which words go where on which page and how to best illustrate the words. How do you illustrate more than the words. How to make the pictures and the words combine and work together. The picture of the group was taken by a kind electrician passing through.

Someone asked what I wanted to share in the workshop. I said to entertain, educate, and to inspire the people who participated. Hopefully I accomplished that. At least this group of ladies were really into it.
