ILLUSTRATION INSPIRATION: Molly Idle

This week's illustration inspiration features the incredibly inspiring work of illustrator, 

Molly Idle. Molly uses exclusively colored pencils in her brilliant work and look at the 

beautiful, creamy outcome. There is a subtle texture in her work, which I think adds a 

nice amount of 'jitter' {I think it is nice to have a little jitter in children's books, it 

compliments a child's mind - anything too smooth and formal feels out of place} 

The composition on the T-Rex illustration is fantastic. The tail frames the situation 

wonderfully. And aren't you all ready in love with that adoring little ballerina? 

So many things to love about the art of Molly Idle. 

Thanks for the inspiration Molly! {xo}
