39. Drawing w/ Matt Cosgrove

Do you enjoy drawing? Unless you enjoy life drawing, or graphic design, it's fairly likely you only spend time doodling on the edges of notes in dull work meetings. But remember when you were a kid, and you loved drawing? In fact, it was both fun and a challenge. Why don't we draw like we used to? I discussed all of this with Matt Cosgrove, Sydney-based author and illustrator of the hugely successful Macca the Alpaca picture books. His illustrations are gorgeous, and he is very passionate about seeing kids develop a love for drawing that extends well beyond their youth. We also spoke about his new book, his previous work drawing cartoons for game show Burgo's Catch Phrase, and how best to discover or re-discover a love of drawing, no matter your age. Matt Cosgrove's new book Dharma the Llama is out now. Matt is on Facebook @mattcosgrovebooks, Instagram @matt.cosgrove and on Twitter @MrMattCosgrove.
