Chris Riddell wow!

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.

@TessaW right. ?!

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!
