      Do the books have to be published after starting an SVS course? I’m assuming yes 🙂

        @danielerossi Well, to be honest, I guess anyone can publish a book but taking the classes makes the illustrator improve. 🙂 I self publish on Amazon and the classes have really helped but, I can see a lot of places I can improve on myself. Finishing a book is a great learning tool to. You can see where you need help 🙂

          Wow, so cool to see all these! Let's keep this thread going 😁 If you have a published children's book out in the world, or know of a fellow SVSLearn student who has one, let us know!

            The first picture book I illustrated in English is out this September. Very Excited for this one.

            I have one Picture book in Norwegian came out in 2020:

            The book did OK. I received my first loyalty report right before the summer holiday :-), very cool. I was also commissioned to do another book with similar concept for the same publisher. I just wrapped up the project before the summer holiday, and the book is coming out this September as well :-).

            And here is another book that will also be out this September.

            Personally, I have a very mixed feeling about the last book. But as Jake Parker always says "finished, not perfect".
            Right now, I moved on to the next picture book which will be a non-fiction book. I am also writing my own picture book, a completely new adventure.

            I also did a book cover art and some interior work for a YA fantasy novel.

            The book got some attention in the country, and I have seen the book poping up around in the city, and around social media and news paper/magazine reviews. It was really cool to see. Unfortunately, there is no tradition to have the illustrator´s name on the cover (I have asked for this, but the AD said "sorry, we can not do that"). So I did not get much benefit from it apart from being happy to see the book around 🙂

                Hi! This is my first post here. My brother and I self published a book on Amazon last year. My brother, a Physical Ed Teacher and Coach, wrote it and I did all the illustrations and layouts. As a long ago Art grad I knew I needed help to get to a pro level. I needed to find a place to level myself up as a children’s book illustrator and creator. I’m currently taking the Children’s Book Pro class and I’m blow away with how much I didn’t know. I’m also impressed with how much more of a reality my long time goals are becoming thanks to Jake, Lee and Will.

                Thank you ALL at SVS!

                Eric H

                    This is a neat thread! I've illustrated 2 self published books. I was wondering where I might be able to find other SVS student projects.

                        Hello. I've illustrated books with Red Robin Books Ltd, in the UK. I've done about 12 story books with them plus a lot of educational books and a set of 25 book set for Mathematics. Then I've illustrated and designed 8 picture books for self publishing authors.

                        And I still havent settled on what my style is! smh

                        I have most of them on my website. Need to add a few that have been completed.

                            This is such a cool thread, it's wonderful to see everyone's work!! I actually just published my first book in May. It's called "The Broken Paintbrush", written by Rachel Rogers and Buddy Lieberman, and published by Hazel Grace Press. Although I still have a long way to go in my illustration work, this was really fun to work on and I'm pretty proud of it 🙂 Here's to many more books!

                                  Sharing my 3rd book in The Mustard Series, Mustard Thinks Twice!

                                  This book was soooooo much fun making, especially making life very difficult for poor Mustard.
