I’ll be working on these three spreads this month.

So far I got four hours in this one. I’m getting really excited about it!
-
It’s coming along!

@Elizabeth-Rose Wow! this is looking beautiful!
-
@GabeRobinson Thanks!

I must say this new picturebook project is probably going to be my favorite book project to date.
Finished another scene last week
-
@Elizabeth-Rose this is just gorgeous! I love the design and the color palette you're using. And I’m really enjoying scrolling through and seeing the images shape up. Your work is very inspiring.

@Elizabeth-Rose How pretty! You have a really good light source but If you want you could add just a tiny bit of rim lighting on some of the characters and flowers to make them pop out more. But it still looks good the way it is
-
@kirsten-mcg Awe, Thanks! Its quite exciting I must say!
@MiaNova Thanks! And yes, that is a good point, I played around with some rim lighting! Goodness, it can be a bit tricky sometimes.
-
Goodness, I’ve not posted in a while. Here is an update:
The Cover Reveal was this week!
-
@Elizabeth-Rose It looks amazing! Great work!!
-
@Elizabeth-Rose looks wonderful. Did you engage a designer or design the whole book yourself?
-
@Elizabeth-Rose I know i keep saying this, but I'm just in love with your color palette for this book! Beautiful.
-
@Elizabeth-Rose love the colours!! It looks like such a cozy and warm story.
-
@ksfabian Thank You! The cover was fun to make!
@ArtMelC Thanks, and good question, I’m actually a graphic designer by day, and a illustrator by night. So yeah, I do the design myself.
@kirsten-mcg Awe! Thanks! It’s been a fun color palette to use! I get some of my color choices from the Adobe Color website. Lots of fun combos there in the Explore Tab.
@Chantal-Goetheer Awe! Yes, I feel like its turning into one I want to hope into.
-
I’ve had this one finished for a while, just now posting it.
Most of the story is still in rough sketch & chicken scratches. I’m trying really hard to clean it up and get it to my beta readers by the end of this week. I’m actually a whole week behind on that. Oops!
And I just announced the Pre-order date for the first day of Spring! March 20th! I think its quite suiting@MiaNova Check out the rim lighting in this one
-
@Elizabeth-Rose oh WOW this is so pretty! The rim lighting adds a nice touch it’s really good! I love it
-
And More rim lighting!
I’m still chugging away on the illustrations!And. . . Finally got my edits and suggestions back from my Beta Readers. So many good suggestions! Hiring others to edit and give suggestions for a book in progress is sooooo worth it!
-
@Pamela-Fraley Me too
-
@Elizabeth-Rose I have just found this thread and I have to say I am absolutely in awe! It is so cool to see the project evolve from it's very first edition to this finalized form! Thank you for sharing!
