      Has anyone been watching Chris Riddell’s Instagram lately? It’s mind boggling. This is my favorite. But, on some of the others you can see, he just starts drawing a hand or the edge of a coat and it all just comes out from there. 🤯

        That's awesome! It might make for a good challenge to do one small drawing like this per day.

            Reminds me of Mattias Adolfsson. Crazy how he just draws overlapping busy scenes with seemingly no planning!

              @neschof I’ll have to look that guy up. But, I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if he does this for his book contracts too. I have his illustrated version of Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere and it looks just like this. He kinda throws out all the rules. It’s a whole other level.

                YES! He makes it look like magic! This beautiful illustration of a tree he posted yesterday - someone in the comments asked him how long it took to draw. He said 10 minutes! 🤯 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-l_E8ZAKwo/

                  I saw/heard him speak in Bologna. Not only does he start doodling and out comes a fully developed drawing, but he tells funny stories in a drily British way at the same time!
