Pictorial Roundup - Guest post by Liz Anelli

SCBWI illustrator extraordinaire, Liz Anelli does what many illustrators do whilst sitting in on session after session of panels and seminars: she doodles. It’s these sketch driven recollections that resonate most clearly for those that are visually motivated in the same way taking copious notes works for the more text orientated.

Thankfully this time she has decided to share her surreptitious skoodlings with us. (She even got my hair right!) Thank you Liz!

For comprehensive written reports and photographic fun on the rest of the Sydney SCBWI Conference 2016, have a browse through Chapter One posts. Chapter Two posts will be up before you have time to reboil your kettles.
