Hey folks,
I'm after a bit of feedback please. This is commission for a little girl who loves Ancient Egypt. I loved doing the image and the first bit of feedback my husband gave was "It's very Disney" which I took as compliment, but makes me wonder how to sell my services as an artist. This is my go-to style which makes me happy. I love Disney, always have. I also draw in other styles, I'm very much a chameleon in that sense. The constant with my work is full colour vibrant rendering (which I can get carried away in!)
This image isn't supposed to be telling any particular story, so I'm not looking for feedback on how to make it suitable for a children's book in that sense... I'm basically wondering if my style fits in the children's book market at all? I feel the Disney influence gives it more of an animation vibe.
Should I be learning more about the animation industry? It's very daunting and not something I've really considered before, as it just seems such an idealised and unobtainable dream to work as an animator. From what @Jake-Parker has said in past episodes about the industry I'm not sure if it would be for me ('along with the fact I'm pushing 40, have a young family and live in the UK.) I feel I'm more drawn to children's publishing, but also like the idea of children's entertainment as a whole.
Suggestions?! If you wanna see more of my work it's on http://gracewright.art
Thanks in advance
