After finding the Academy of Art video, these two videos were suggested. I really like these snippets into this woman's illustration process and her tips and tricks to surviving as an illustrator in children's books.
I was really interested to find the story has to be accepted by a publisher first and they choose the illustrator they think fits best, and the author has no contact with the illustrator until the near completion of the book. This allows the illustrator to think imaginatively and not be held down by the pre-imagined ideas of the author. Already I find I am having a loyalty to Alex's vision and finding it difficult to think outside the box as he clearly knows what he wants it to look like.
