The Kilted Caricaturist

by Tony Docherty

Tony works on caricatures from photographs in pen and watercolour and also live at events

Lately I have been looking to draw illustrations for children's books, my son and I have hours of fun just drawing pictures of what our adventure the weekend has ahead of us or what we had done the previous day. It's a geat way for him to keep a diary and a great keepsake for him when he is older.

That got me thinking what a great idea to draw illustrations for children's books, with caricatures it is all about the information given to you about the person you are drawing. It's that information that brings the picture to life, the fact their face is part of that makes it memorable to them personally.

Taking the narrative of a book and illustrating it, making the book come alive with visual imagery and words to go hand in hand and take the child on a new and exciting adventure every time.

Watercolor and Pencil Illustration

by Liz Wheeler
(Canada)

Hello! My name is Liz Wheeler, and I am a children's book illustrator, specializing in watercolors and colored pencil. Cartoons and animals are my niche. I enjoy filling the entire page up with activity, color and characters, giving children a plethora of things to look at, and entertaining their imagination even after the story has finished.

I am more than happy to do sample sketches for any project that I am being considered for.

Please visit Liz Wheeler @ Webs.com to view a larger gallery of my work.

Faerie Dream - Where Magic Happens

I have a very charming and whimsical style of artwork, with a hint of Victorian flavour to it. I love drawing fairies and animals and all kind of magic creatures, nature and kids.

I used to work with watercolors and inks but I'm also proficient with digital coloring and my artwork enlightens the heart of adults and children.

View my artwork at VRM1979 at DeviantArt.

Many thanks for reading. I look forward to working with you.

(Buenos Aires, Argentina)

I'm a free-lance illustrator from Argentina and I love what I do.

I am interested in book illustration, including children’s and young adults', greeting cards, and editorial illustration.

I generally use watercolours and coloured pencils.

I love the moment after I receive the text to illustrate: thousands of images come to mind, different colours, shapes, animals, people, beings that were not there before. That's when magic begins!

Eccentric Realism: Pen & Ink with Watercolor

Cyrus Glance, pen & ink with watercolor


There is no such thing as a straight line. I enjoy being free and my work is full of freedom and fun. I do not draw in pencil, I draw directly with my crow quill pen and ink and then paint the image with watercolor. My style has been described at whimsical and sophisticated, I call it eccentric realism.

I am willing to do some sample sketches for the client to see that my style would be suitable for the project.

More of my drawings can be seen at Facebook/Cyrus Glance.

You can email Cyrus too.
