You can buy original Mo Willems illustrations at his gallery!! RMichelson.com
This is so amazing that he's doing this, I love it when fellow artists reach out to people who want to know how to start to learn drawing. I am an artist myself and I am learning from the internet how to correct my anatomy, make dynamic scenes, and play with colors to get a beautifully finished piece. Remember that no one is too old to draw and if you draw almost every day, you can get more improvement over the years.
I'm especially proud of this girl I did in a redraw of old art :3 IMG_202003...347da4.jpg
