@Michael-Angelo-Go I charged 2500-3500 for my small books. Even if its for a charity that price is the lowest I'd go.

Now for the Cosplay starting with my absolute winner for the weekend...

@Mimi-Simon this is so handy! Thank you!

Hey guys! Thanks again for all your feedback and support.

In keeping with my earlier promise to update you all on CBP... basically I'm dying 😅
Hahaha kidding, it's a wonderful course but it makes you realize the insane amount of work that goes into making a book for kids.

And with that, here are my first designs for Little Red 🙂

@NessIllustration Oh I didn't realize how old the post was, I didn't look 🙂 I feel like a newbie every day! 🙂

@AnumC you could email me through my website, or DM me on Instagram. Both are linked in my footer below 🙂 I'm far from being an expert of anything though!

Webflow is another service you can look at. A little pricey as you add features though.

@Lee-White awesome. Thanks Lee

@AnumC thank you 😊

Hi everyone! This year the Bologna Book Fair will be earlier, from March 6-9. I'm going on March 06 and 07, I'd love to meet up if anyone is coming. I went last year and it was such a great experience. Let me know! 🙂

@MimiHecher Aw thank you Mimi! I really appreciate your support 😊

@Michael-Angelo-Go Man, this is rough. I agree with @NessIllustration and the questions she posed. If what you’re doing right now isn’t sustainable, then what are all the options?

@Adam-Thornton-0 thanks for the tip😊

@randarrington I agree. Scams. Everyone makes typos from time to time, but the awkward English phrasing is something to look out for.

@ksfabian Wow! I just checked this out, I'd have to see where I'm at this year, might have to pass but I think that would be so fun. Thanks for the heads up!!! 🙂

And this next one is new, but has great imagery ideas: Super Great Kid's Stories by Wardour Studios

I don't know if i'm remembering that right, but didn't they actually tell why they made the change? Even if they are not quite there yet because maybe there is some things they didn't think about, i think its kind of nice they try to mix it up time after time.

I actually watched all the old 3rd Thursdays Episodes on Youtube and they Kind of startet out like this, giving deeper critiques to people and at some point it endet up being critique arena.

It's actually really nice to look out for the people who are not there yet instead of watching (mostly) the same 16 win every month. Even though there has been really lovely and great pieces!!! That being said!

BUT i agree, it was kind of nice having deadlines and stuff, i bet maybe it's possible to combine the two things.

I think i will actually try to take the time and come back to the past challenges... of 43 i made 3 😅

In the end nothing is stopping us from giving us deadlines ourselfes. People can change their behavior and it is possible to do stuff on our own to work on our portfolio. If Thats what we want. The World Wide Web is full of prompt lists, and challenges.

I alsways want to participate in Folktale week...maybe thats my chance though 😅

When I first looked at them small on the screen I went for number 2.

When I opened the original image and they were a larger size, my preference switched to number 4 as I thought she was more of an individual with a real personality. I like her little boots and top showing beneath the belt. Her hair is great too. So number 4 as long as the mouth doesn't fade into nothing when she's a smaller size. 🙂

@jvartandillustration Something I've done before I make a list of 12 things I love drawing and 12 things I hate drawing. Then I roll 2 dice and I have to draw an illustration with a combination of the numbers rolled from each list. If you're feeling really creative you can add a third list with things like colors or emotions to really mix things up.
