FREEDOM TO READ

October's challenge for SCBWI illustrators is to illustrate: "Freedom to Read"

#scbwidrawthis #scbwiillustrators #Freedomtoread #familiesthatreadtogether #loveofreading #books #relaxing
The challenge was to draw an image from the concept: "Freedom to Read." My first rough sketches were drawings of books being withheld, unattainable by a crowd reaching for the books behind bars- in light of current book banning. Another sketch was of a child reading in black and white, and in the thought bubble all the images he was reading were in color. Finally, what I went with was a simple line drawing of a family reading together, relaxed, in their living room. The image shows the mother on the couch with her cat asleep on top of her, implying that they have been cozy there for awhile. The Dad is in a comfortable chair, leg extended on a big ottoman. A child is in the window seat, lost in a book with the best light. Another cat peeks from behind the curtain. The colors are purposely limited, just a teal and tan color, to highlight the ink line drawing. Reminiscent of mid -century limited palette printing.

Books Open New Worlds. This is my illustration for this October’s Draw This Challenge by #scbwidrawthis.

Reading books has the power to open new worlds, helps you have new experiences and return changed for the better.

#FreedomToRead #BannedBooksWeek #scbwiillustrators #scbwi
A red-haired child kneels on the pages of an enormous open book, flying into a magical world of swirling pink clouds and a luminous castle on a floating island. Inspired by Michael Ende’s The Neverending Story, this illustration celebrates the freedom to read, dream and explore imaginary worlds.

Shouldn't we all have the freedom to read what makes us laugh, or cry, or wonder....?! #FreedomToRead #BannedBooksWeek #scbwidrawthis #scbwiillustrators #scbwi #artteacher #kidlit #authorillustrator

Everywhere I go, everywhere I look, people are staring at their phones. Using AI. Using data centers.

Please stop!

Go out in nature and leave the phone at home!
Can you do it?
See you out there.

Love,
Wolf

Happy October, #Kidlitartpostcard day, and #ScbwiArtober2026! 🎃 We’re so excited to see everyone's creativity this month. We love making vibrant art to spread joy in the world. 💛 #pumpkin #owl #cats #Halloween #authorillustrators #scbwi #scbwiillustrators #kidlitart #cutpaper #seekingrepresentation
For October 2026's KidLitArt postcard and SCBWIArtober2026’s pumpkin prompt, a bright orange pumpkin with a gold glittery face glows against a background of blue-hued rays shining from the crescent moon. An owl perches on the pumpkin, its wings outstretched. Two cats peek out from either side of the pumpkin, while a bat flies in front of the moon. On the top and bottom, white text against a black background reads: Dori and Kate, Author-illustrators, www.IslandTwinArtists.com, Seeking Representation

This is our attempt at #monochrome 💙🩵 for the September #SCBWIDrawThis prompt! Did anyone else find this a fun challenge?! 😅 #blue #scbwi #dolphin #NorthernLights #jellyfish #kidlitart #scbwiillustrators #cutpaper
For SCBWI's Draw This! September prompt, Monochrome, a blue dolphin with light blue stars soars over the blue starry Northern Lights. Two icebergs float on either side of the dolphin. The sea and sky shine with turquoise and light blue shades. A gleaming blue jellyfish floats serenely underneath the dolphin.
