Lynne Chapman is an award-winning children’s illustrator, with over 30 books, and UK correspondent for the international sketching organisation, Urban Sketchers. Based in Sheffield (UK), Lynne creates pastel illustrations for her picture books, which burst with fun and colour, bringing a whole range of characters to life.

Her acclaimed blog: An Illustrator’s Life For Me! – http://lynnechapman.blogspot.com – provides a candid insight into her creative life, including her illustration techniques and the world of children’s publishing, as well as providing a peek inside her many sketchbooks.
Lynne is passionate about drawing and captures her world in pocket sketchbooks. She is founder of Sheffield Sketchcrawl, encouraging others to draw out on-location. She is also a lively performer at schools and festivals, running workshops, doing storytellings and giving lectures on her work.

This video is master class with Lynne, who shows us how to draw the Warthog character from Ian Whybrow’s book, Stinky! which Lynne illustrated. I recorded two further interviews with Lynne. She talks about her works and takes us through the process of creating a children’s book.
