A contemplative chick on this rainy day. I draw chickens all the time, but I’ve never drawn a baby one until now. It’s nice to try new things. #kidlitart #picturebookart #farmanimalart

Is there anything more amazing than a baby’s first steps? I don’t think so, but drawing babies is a close second. #kidlitart #picturebookart #boardbook #babydrawing

Day 5 #Characterdesign series — the chat. One of the things I love about illustrating characters is the relationships and interactions they have with each other. I red to give my characters a story to make it interesting. #picturebookart #kidlitart

Call! Call! Call! Help them find their backbone.

Day 3 Character Design series. I remember how frustrated my youngest would get when trying to eat ice cream when they were little. It always melted too fast or fell off the cone. Luckily, little dogs are very effective cleaners of messes. #kidlitart #picturebookart #kidlit #characterdesign

Occasionally I do family portraits for people in a cartooned way — it’s a fun alternative to photography if you’re thinking of hiring someone for this kind of service. This is a crew from whom I bought our new old Land Cruiser (they happened to be art fans, so we worked a partial trade).

Day 2 of my character design series. This is fun!! #characterdesign #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #chapterbookillustration

Sometimes characters won't leave you alone. These two are like that. They've been hanging around for awhile hoping I'll give them a stage to perform on. Working on it. #kidlitauthor #kidlitart

Welcome to Bookworm's cozy little home--a Crispy Apple. I do wonder how Bookworm turns the pages, but I'm sure they have a system. I'm working on leaning into more sketchiness. I just love how it adds to the texture. I'm really enjoying this #tinyhomeschallenge2025 #tinyhome

Here's my new offering for the #tinyhomeschallenge2025! This one was a bit challenging as the home needed to be made out of a vintage sewing box. It was fun! I love to sew, but haven't done much of it in recent years. I have a lot of UFO's (unfinished projects) I should finish at some point.

Wallace and Grace and the Owl-o-ween Mystery is perfect for Spooky Season! It's an early chapter book written by @Halexanderbooks and illustrated by me, Bloomsbury. #chapterbooks #halloweenchildrensbook

My artwork and writing are created with human (and chicken) intelligence.

I’ve been struggling to make new illustrations for awhile now. I miss the ease that I used to have around this. I love tiny things so the #tinyhomeschallenge2025 is perfect. I had fun and I’m happy enough with the results.

Happy beginning of September and #kidlitartpostcard day! I’ve been working hard on developing my style & think I finally have it. You can see new work on my site www.pippinmathur.com I would love to illustrate more pbs, chapter books and early gns! Repped by Jennifer Unter. #kidlitpostcard #kidlit

Hello kid lit pals! Question: Experimenting with a mix of digital/traditional media. Loving the tooth of vellum Bristol board, but it's scans a bit 'dirty'. Beinfang Graphics 360 works much better but it's too smooth. Anyone have any suggestions? #kidlitart #artsupplies

And I’m thrilled to end the summer KING tour with today’s event. Phew! I did more than I was expecting for a summer release but all were good. IYKYK. #kidlit
