What was Beatrix Potter's approach to illustrating?
My illustrations were never merely decorative; they were integral to the storytelling. I drew from meticulous observation of animals and their habitats. I kept a close eye on their movements, their textures, and their environments, often sketching them from life when possible. This attention to detail allowed the characters to feel real and the settings to be authentic, providing a genuine connection for the reader.
