How Deborah Hocking Created the Art for Sydney & Taylor Explore the Whole Wide World Sydney & Taylor Explore the Whole Wide World was a dream job for me as an illustrator…adorable woodland animals as characters, a cozy burrow home to design, and a beautiful story of friendship and adventure skillfully written by a talented author. I loved figuring out how to draw the characters, and imagining the different environments they’d explore and the animals they’d interact with along the way. I hope you enjoy discovering the world of these two best friends, as they leave their burrow behind and set off for places unknown. In my initial character design sketches, I imagined Sydney and Taylor clothed, with various outfits they might wear throughout the story. The character design was a collaborative effort with the art director, editor, and author. As a team we made changes including not having the characters clothed and more naturalistic body shape and features. I did many more sketches of the characters, imagining them in different poses and with different emotions. Sydney and Taylor as they appear in the book: friends and adventurers forever. This image is from one of the initial sketch versions of the story, with the characters drawn in the original style (with clothing and huge ears!). This later version shows how the environment is being developed, with details resolved and light and shadow being considered. Sydney and Taylor’s cozy burrow in its final form—a wonderful place to come home to after grand adventures.
