I think one of the most satisfying things about being a children's book illustrator is seeing kids interact with my books. I've been mentoring some fine young artists for the Ann Arbor Kid's Art Fair thats coming up in July. So I thought it was fitting that I gave them a copy of my You Can Draw Monsters and Scary Things and You can Draw Zoo Animals.I was happy to see the step by step instructions worked! Just check out these drawings. Lookin' good!
Its been an interesting and also a challenging experience mentoring kids. I don't normally interact with kids on a regular basis in my normal day-to-day illustrator life, even though I do "kids' stuff" all day long. But kids' art are the BEST and I've got a talented bunch. Its an awesome dose of inspiration!

And now these kids' fantastic art is "famous!" Wonderful, Jannie. Mentoring kids in art is something I hope to do in the future. (I'm sure you've had all kinds of challenges pop up.) In the meantime I have two little ones at home I can work with and who remind me just how great art is. :D
wow, this book is life changing... you're right, there's nothing better than seeing kids make art because of your directions.
