I often wonder why so many people are desperate to get into children’s publishing. And, while I’m sure the reasons for it are varied, one of the things I love most about being able to draw (and it ending up in picture books) is that I end up feeling quite useful – and feeling useful to another human being feels good.
What constraints do I need to have in place so that I can do my best creative work and produce images I’m proud of?
Why is it more difficult to make creative work when I’ve rested all day? Shouldn’t the energy I’ve saved through rest be fuel to maximise creative output?
If something feeds the soul and something else drains it, why is it so difficult to prioiritise the thing that’s good for us?
How do we know when something is done and what’s the value of calling something done even if we’re not happy with how it turned out?
A line can be one of two things: confident or competent. Can it ever be both?
