This lead me to do a little research and I found Tom&#8217;s site that was really fun to explore. If you&#8217;d like to explore it, follow this link<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.tomlichtenheld.com\/childrens_books\/<\/p>\n<p>On the site, I found an interview with another children&#8217;s author and illustrator, Carrie Charley Brown. In the interview, Tom had these words of wisdom for budding illustrators:<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Don&#8217;t forget that illustration is as much about ideas as technique.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got ideas, I thought, but I can&#8217;t even say I&#8217;m &#8216;OK&#8217; on technique! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, I know many illustrators who are helping us all with technique while we&#8217;re staying safe at home. You will definitely know these three, as we&#8217;ve read their books together at Clinton. Take a peek at these sites and get working on your own illustrations. As always, feel free to take a picture of your creations and post in the comments.
