The Art of Children’s Book Illustration

Since being handed a tin of chalk to draw on her grandparent’s concrete paths at 2 years of age, Mandy has never stopped drawing. This includes illustrating for the Adelaide Zoo Education Service for 12 years (drawing enough animals to fill an encyclopedia) and the iconic, Haigh’s Chocolates. Join Mandy and follow the illustration process from the first scribble of an idea to the final brushstroke of an award-winning book. Mandy will delve into the world of illustrating for children, sharing her sketchbooks where much loved stories came to life. Includes a drawing demonstration, exploring Mandy’s thought process for creating characters with expression and an abundance of personality.
