For the past few months I have been illustrating for picture books by other authors. 

It is quite challenging to visualise something that you haven't created yourself. On the other hand, it is lovely to work from a base, to start with already existing material or ideas, so you can build upon it.

One of these stories was a kind of nonsense rhyme about a crazy duo - a Ms. Fox and a Mr. Prat - both of whom revel in their craziness. It was a great project for me to work on developing my characterisation, especially as I haven't done many animal characters before.

 

More when the book is actually out!
