The Garden Witch

[kylebeaudette]

A publisher that I've been speaking to loved my book dummy for The Garden Witch. They've asked for me to finish it up and provide examples of finished art.
I'm excited! My dream of becoming an author/illustrator is inching closer
Thank you to SVS and the 3 Point Perspective podcast, I've learned a lot about the business here.
I'll be posting work I do for the book here, I'll try not to spam

@kylebeaudette That's so cool! I'm looking forward to owning a copy with all those Quentin-Blakian illustrations

[kylebeaudette]

@braydin-hawlette thanks! It's Blake x Searle x Burton x Beaudette

@kylebeaudette are you a fan of shel Silverstein? I grew up with those books.

[TessaW]

@kylebeaudette Congratulations! Your work has always been so appealing and expressive to me and I want to start seeing it on the shelves! Keep us updated, cause I want to snatch up a copy.

[kylebeaudette]

@asyas_illos I'm not, no. I should pick up a few of his books

Trying to bring her into colour, as they asked me to. I had envisioned this as a black and white story with little spots of colour here and there. I find I stink at colour, so this will be tough! Did this today, trying to keep that loose and wild feel.

[Asyas_illos]

@kylebeaudette yes you’d like it I’m sure, I little more refined maybe than Blake but very cool scratchy/sketchy stuff

[Asyas_illos]

@kylebeaudette looks great nice colors!

[Larue]

@kylebeaudette Super excited for you and not at all surprised...always loved your work 3-d and 2-d. Woohoo!

[Valerie Light]

@kylebeaudette LOVE this! Can't wait to see more. Your textures are on point. Also seconding Shel Silverstein! A Light in the Attic, the Giving Tree, and Where the Sidewalk Ends belong on your bookshelves!

@kylebeaudette love your style. I don’t think you can spam if it’s your own thread. It’s why I made my sketchbook thread. More, more, I will be happy to see more!

[Jeremy Ross]

Congratulations @kylebeaudette! I bet it’s going to be awesome!

Although I’d love to see your WIP, suggest you make sure the publisher allows this in your contract. Usually, they’ll want you to sign an NDA. Just a thought.

[kylebeaudette]

@Jeremy-Ross I spoke with them about sharing my work, they said it's fine
Not going to share everything, but lots of it

[Holumpa]

Wow... all I can say is I love your work and very distinct style. It's so refreshing and inspiring. Definitely takes me back to Shel Silverstein and Roald Dahl, thank you so much!!!!
