The Catch
A charming full-scene illustration that pairs beautifully with the close-up "Fish Face" piece, demonstrating the ability to maintain consistent character design across varying compositions and scales — a critical skill for picture book illustration. The serene river setting is handled with a light, confident touch, keeping the focus firmly on the character's wry, relatable expression. The cultural details in the clothing add authenticity and depth, reflecting a sensitivity to diverse representation that today's publishers actively seek.
