'Illustration: An interview with illustrator and long-term Jacqueline Wilson collaborator, Nick Sharratt'
I found this interview on It's Nice That and immediately thought I should read it as Nick Sharratt illustrated some of my favourite reading books as a child. His work really inspired me to draw and this is reflected in how I started out drawing figures and faces. I admire how he can recreate the same characters with such ease and them still be recognisable, he also shows facial expressions really effectively with his very simple style and process.
'Can you give some advice to any illustrators out there who may be looking to become a children’s book illustrator?
I’m sure I once read a quote by John Vernon Lord (one of my illustrator heroes) about the need for professional illustrators to be able to convince themselves that they can draw anything at all. I think that’s the philosophy to have – of course it also means really working on your lateral thinking skills!'
