Happy #kidlitartpostcard day to all illustrators, agents, writers and publishers. The prompt was to draw ourselves as children.
Here's me with a giant 70s collar and pinafore!
As you can tell I loved a good book even then and this was one of my favourites. #kidlitart #childrenspicturebooks

Is it time to use the iPad just for editing and go back to my roots of traditional media? I'm pleased to say that I found this so relaxing to draw. I decided to go with the flow and if I made mistakes I would roll with them and keep going. I hope you like the result.
