When I Draw a Panda

 

Illustration Style:

Watercolor, gouache, pastel, and colored pencil. I love this style of whimsical drawing. You can see the action as the drawings unfold, and the childlikeness of the room is so fitting. Full of both lovely images and wild scribbles, the pictures help tell this story of drawing however and whatever you want to!
