I feel like I still have so much to learn, especially as I'm studying some of my favorite illustrators' books in depth. Holly Hobbie's Toot and Puddle books are so genius. If you other illustrators haven't studied those illustrations over and over, I would highly recommend it! They are the perfect combination of lovable, quirky characters and gorgeous backgrounds and settings.Kristi Valianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05997984098630895653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1052905315917849912.post-14164931428613111222008-10-23T14:53:00.000-07:002008-10-23T14:53:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1052905315917849912.post-46275963674918030762008-10-23T09:36:00.000-07:002008-10-23T09:36:00.000-07:00Congrats Kristi!
