Congratulations on drafting your story! And now on to one of my favorite steps in the process...character development.In preparation for this step I have been collecting some YouTube videos of my favorite picture book illustrators sharing some of their wisdom and experience developing their characters.
Will Terry
Lynne Chapman
Patrice Barton
Emily Gravett
Additionally, please check out the #kidlitart website for two wonderful blog entries character development, first here, then a guest post here.
And of course for more information and links on this and all other steps in the PBDummy making process for $5 you can snag a copy of Wendy Martin's "How to Make a Picture Book Dummy in 9 Easy Steps" on her website.
Do you have a favorite website or videos that provides guidance for character development or is just simply inspirational? Please post links in the comments below.
As an extra note, I think it's time to start thinking about tweet chats at #kitlitart. I am out of town this Thursday, so let's plan to have our first tweetchat session on Feburary 21st at 7pm MST. For those of you who may be new to twitter, I'll post some instructions next week.
Have fun creating!!
Great post, thanks! Looking forward to the 21st.
