I love the creative process and watching it happen. It’s different with every single project and every single designer. The way ideas emerge is beautiful to watch. I adore this little snapshot from Ed Emberley that vividly illustrates this. His little roaring lion is fierce. And I love this excerpt from Neelon who speaks to Ed Emberley’s 100+ book career in his introductory essay:
“Ed’s Drawing Books in many ways are about knocking the title of “art” off its big and scary perch. The books show you ways to draw, not ways to be an artist. In his Drawing Books, he wasn’t out to spawn legions of artists, he was out to give kids the tickle of fun and success by drawing something that they might not have thought they could draw.”
