Hi all, It's been a busy 2015, and I took a brief hiatus from blogging. But I'm back and with process posts and art and an event coming up mid-May! First, and most importantly, mark your calendars! A Penguin Named Patience is out in and about in the world, and on Saturday, May 16th, I'm going to be at Books of Wonder in NY doing a panel with Bob Shea and Greg Pizzoli! I'm definitely geeking out and doing a bunch of ridiculous penguin-dancing. My first book panel is with two crazy talented illustrators! (More exclamation points needed!!!!) In honor of the upcoming panel, I thought I'd share a little of my process work for the book over the next week in a series of posts. After Sleeping Bear sent the manuscript, the first thing I did was grab a pencil. Those three little penguins are some of the very first sketches I ever did of Patience. They weren't the only ones, though. For a few days, all I did was draw penguins... Paint penguins... Look at pictures of penguins... And watch videos of penguins. The aquarium in New Orleans where the story takes place actually has a series of videos of the penguins featured in the book. Stay tuned... next up on the blog: thumbnails and scribbly penguins. For more info about me and Suzanne Lewis and of course the book, check out these two interviews that Suzanne and I did for the KidLit 411 blog. Links to the interviews can be found here (KidLit411-Lisa) and here (KidLit411-Suzanne). And for more sketches, process work, and cat photos, you can also find me on: Instagram: @Lisa.Anchin Twitter: @LisaAnchin Facebook: Lisa Anchin Illustration

How to draw a penguin is one of the easiest drawings.
