Bird Count - Children's Book Illustration Process

In this video, I'm sharing part of my process in illustrating one of my favorite spreads in Bird Count, a children's book written by Susan Edwards Richmond and published by Peachtree (October 2019). You'll get to see this spread go from thumbnail sketch to finished art while I chat about the process.
