Illustrator
I am studying Paul Zelinsky. He has won several awards for his illustrations. I found it interesting that he says the stories tell him what the pictures should look like. He uses different styles of art in the books he illustrates. Zelinsky said that he drew all the time as a child, but he didn't realize he wanted to be an illustrator for children's books until he was in college.

I am currently researching the work of illustrator, Jerry Pinkney. I think it is interesting how the ideas for the illustrations are developed and evolve through the creative process. Pinkney has a unique way of depicting the movement of animals - which I LOVE!!!
ReplyDeleteI think the fact that he didn't know he wanted to illustate until he was in college is interesting. My illustrator, Kevin Henkes, always knew he wanted to illustrate books.
