Sarah Dyer is an award-winning picture book maker whose sketchbook pages have brought us pure joy ever since we stumbled upon them. As our readers know, we’re huge fans of hand-drawn art and love peeking into artist sketchbooks, so browsing Sarah’s Instagram account and seeing some of the most incredible illustrations is a real treat. The word that comes to mind when we think about how we would describe Sarah’s subject matter is ‘life.’ Whether it’s a location drawing of a charming building, a figure drawing, or a children’s book illustration – there is so much charm and talent within each of Sarah’s artworks that it’s hard to not be captivated by them all.
Another big treat about Sarah’s practice as an artist is that she’s also a teacher! On Patreon, she shares her sketchbooks and picture book knowledge with subscribers. She also is a lecturer in illustration and is currently offering a narrative sketchbook retreat in Spain where students can learn from her in an incredible and inspiring location. It’s always so incredible when artists with such profound talent choose to share their information with the world, and it also speaks to her evident appreciation of and devotion to art as her life’s work.
