2.2 Writing and Illustrating Picture Books with Sydney Smith
Update: 2024-02-27
Description
This week I’m joined by Sydney Smith, Canadian author and illustrator of children’s books. Sydney has won many awards for his thoughtful and evocatively illustrated picture books that speak to the complex emotions of what it feels like to move through the world as a child. We sat down to talk about the complicated nature of childhood memories, finding inspiration in films and their colour palettes, plus a peak inside his sketchbook, pencil case and studio.
