So I have a Children's Book...

This last semester, as a few of you know, I took a class about the creation and publication of a children's book. Now, we weren't asked to finish it, but I figured I would.

Children's books are generally around 32 pages, mine is a smaller version (12 pages), since I just wanted it as a finished product and possibly to show it off to publishers. I am pretty happy that I finished it, and my instructor mentioned that I was ready to start creating children's books (pretty exciting huh?)!

Anyway, the exciting part is that I digitally put it together myself, and it is ready to buy! I bought one and fixed any of the problems that I saw and I was really surprised with the quality! :)

Digital watercolor practice, I want to see if I can get good/ comfortable enough to do this for full illustrations.

My second collage..

came out way better than my first in my opinion!

I really like this. It took a long time to put together, but I'm happy I did it!

Eric Carle style Collage Owl

This was reated for my Children's book class. We had to create a collage like Eric Carle (the creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar) does for his books. It was fun! I'm going to do something more fantasy and brightly colored on the next one.

Used: tracing paper, colored pencil, markers, acrylic paint, scissors, and glue.

A good night post, feeling a bit sad, I drew something that would cheer me up! I've been looking at children's books to get ready for my upcoming class, I couldn't help it!

Children's Book Art?

The prospects of becoming a Children's book Artist are better than ever!

The more people I speak with, the more opportunities I find for me to expand my horizons with options such as self publishing, or just creating books in general. With the help of my friends that have these wonderful talents of writing and creating stories, I feel that whomever I pair up with, it will be a great venture.

I've always been the artist that sketches a lot, that sketches random things. I don't have a character to draw and I have little to no ideas of my own. I'm proud to say that I have been creating small characters here and there (example above) for myself and to show that I have the capability to do it.
