Illustration Friday ' Fearless'


This is my submission for Illustration Friday. This weeks theme is 'Fearless'. I played around with inks for the background on this one as I often go for a plain white or solid colour.

I spent a while this morning looking through some of my favourite childrens book illustrators. Here are just a few that I find hugely inspiring.





The wonderful Mary Blair.






The fabulous Don Madden.







The amazing Brian Wildsmith.

  4. Emily and Rebeka, thanks for your kind comments.

    No Lili, nothing as scary as a lion here in the Canaries, lots of lizards though for my cats to nibble on. I save them when I can!
