@Melissa-Candrasaputra really cute concept for "two peas in a pod"

@PenAndrew Thank you! Haha unfortunately it's apparently fairly difficult to break into the China market as some local Chinese publishers tell me...you must find a publisher in China who will edit it to make sure it fits the China market, and every batch of books you ship there must be separately inspected and approved... Even going to Hong Kong and Taiwan, the Chinese script has to be translated into two different traditional scripts

So yeah, the international English market is definitely still more commercially viable

@AngelinaKizz wow you passed on your artistic genes! Really good!
Only one of my three likes to draw and she’s not anywhere near this ability lol

I made a NEW WORK for my children's book portfolio! It took me 2 months to create. I wanted to challenge myself with working on something for a longer term. I also challenged myself to post my WIP here on my Instagram for accountability.

This work is called 'God With Us'. It's about going through ones own wildernesses of grief and loss. All for the glory of God. Thank you lovely people,

@chrisaakins I LOVE Ryan T. Higgins' books! Check out the We Don't Eat Our Classmates series -- hilarious!

If you look at the copyright notice, often he includes a description of how he created the illustrations -- might be helpful as you're doing studies.

Hey all! Just finished adding some digital touch ups to this otherwise traditional experimental piece - where watercolor pencils meet crayon cut out collage
It's not my best work but I was able to connect with that notion of "play" while creating.

@Melissa_Bailey I looked but I didn't see anything in this particular book. I will have to check them out. I think the best children's books are those that appeal to the adults reading them as well as the kids. Like Mercer Mayer. I think many kids have more sophisticated senses of humor than we give them credit for. My granddaughter laughed at many of the funny pictures I did for inktober. She totally got the humor that even some of the high schoolers I teach missed,

[chrisaakins]

@Melissa_Bailey HAHAHAHA! I just watched a read aloud of "We Don't Eat our Classmates" Hilarious!

[Melissa_Bailey]

@chrisaakins it IS hilarious! One of my favorite books of all time. Genius.

Actually, it's not in the Mother Bruce books but the Penelope Rex books where the illustration description shows up in the copyright notice.

If you love the first book, you'll want to check out We Will Rock Our Classmates (not as brilliant as the first but still really good) ... AND there's a third Penelope Rex book coming out in 2023: We Don't Lose Our Class Goldfish. It's Penelope's turn to take Walter the goldfish home, and she has to face her fears -- looking forward to that one!

I’m trying to clean house and finish some pb dummies as well as my first paid book project but I’m also trying to keep up with Animal Alphabet prompts this round. It’s been fun, probably somewhat to do that a lot of the animal breeds have happened to be horse like so far and that’s my fav

[HeatherB]

@Heather-Boyd this is so soft and lovely!

[Meekipink]

@Heather-Boyd I love it, I love it, I LOVE IT! I love your style, I love your theme, I love your faith. There's something so beautifully honest and simplistic in your art style, you're very talented. I'll have to follow you for sure

[Heather Boyd]

@HeatherB I just realized I am not talking to myself. What does the B in your last name stand for? If it is Boyd, I am so sorry for taking it first.

Thank you so much for your kind words.

[Heather Boyd]

@Meekipink I saw your follows, thank you, thank you. And thank you for your feedback, most appreciative.

[HeatherB]

@Heather-Boyd I wish it was Boyd! Bouteneff takes a lot longer to spell out to people lol

@burvantill Hello! So I haven't checked in for a few days...

I post on Tapas and Webtoons. https://tapas.io/series/OmegaElixir/info
Like I've said before it's Adult and not for everyone. It's NOT a superhero comic! But check it out if ya want. The first episode (all 5 parts) I want to go back and redo cause I've improved my art) but the recent stuff I'm pretty Proud of. Mostly.

[burvantill]

@Heather-Boyd I saw this on IG. It is absolutely lovely!

[burvantill]

@KatrinaF Thanx! I'll check it out.

[ArtistErin]

@Asyas_illos I'm looking forward to that!!
