Also helpful are books in which illustrators share their experiences both in creating art and becoming professional illustrators:
Talking with Artists by Pat Cummings is a series of three books filled with personal interviews with illustrators. Geared towards children, these volumes are just as enjoyable for adults. I first discovered them at the Children's Room in our public library (and soon got copies for myself!)
More recently, Show and Tell: Exploring the Fine Art of Children's Book Illustration by Dilys Evans is a must read, with terrific in depth chapters on 12 amazing artists, including one of my favorites, Betsy Lewin:

Hi, I think it's been years since I last visited you (am blaming baby making for my absence from blog land!)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you are still going strong with your charming illustrations and book profiles (love the Salisbury illustration book, I have this at home.)
Best wishes, Bee x
It's amazing! I have all those books except one. How are you doing? It's been a while, but I see you are working up a storm with beautiful work. Thanks so much for your sweet words about my loss. Thank you.
