Kate is an illustrator for children's books. She also writes and illustrates her own books. She came to our school today to show us how she does observational drawing from photographs to start her ideas. She also showed us how many times she drew each picture as she developed her ideas and put her story boards together. Some pictures she draws 20 times !!! This is before she begins painting.
We are using story boards to plan our writing so it was interesting to see how illustrations are put together in the same way.
Then we did observational drawing looking at the shapes and spaces people made in photographs.
We really enjoyed learning more about drawing from Kate.
