Awesome records of your experience - thank you for sharing! And congratulations on finishing a big projects - and the pictures look great!

Very cool man, and congrats!!
Your illustrations are very eye-catching and nicely composed. The colors look great from the photo of the print. I always worry about them getting messed up when working in RGB and then converting, so often I worked in CMYK to begin with when I know I'm going to print. But I heard this was not best practice... What do you think?
Thanks for sharing your experiences on this. It was an interesting and inspiring read. It sounds like it was a good gig, and God willing a great segue into more children's book illustration projects!

@Rich-Green This is so great Rich! - thank you for sharing your experience - i especially like the illustration where the vine is creating a tunnel - really nice work - i look forward to buying a copy in November!

@Chip-Valecek - thanks so much!
@smceccarelli - thank you I really appreciate it!
@Shams-Nelson - thank you! I try and watch for the little "warning" box in the Photoshop color picker that will let me know when a color falls out of CMYK range. What I learned in this process though is that even if you were working in CMYK there would still be a conversion to the profile required by the print company based on their equipment. So even then you can see a shift in the colors if you had been working in the default CYMK color profile and had to switch over to a different one for print.
I am certainly no expert in how this should be approached but I feel like in all of the courses and online videos I have watched alot of illustrators work in RGB and convert - unless they are working in illustrator or doing their own artwork for silk screening etc.
Perhaps others with more experience can chime in and let us know what they do?
@Kevin-Longueil - really appreciate the kind words, thanks so much!

Congratulations @Rich-Green, this is fantastic news and well done on achieving all of this! You must be really proud (so much work to get this far!)
The final pictures look great, really punchy and well-designed. I like the cover in the final picture where it all wraps around the spine nicely. It definitely looks like you've grown as an artist while making this, must feel great to do that
-
@Rich-Green Ohhh, that makes sense on them needing to adjust based on their equipment, so why not work in RGB in that case. Cool, thanks for the helpful info man!
-
Congrats @Rich-Green ! Thank you for sharing your process and the finished product with us, it turned out great. It's SOOO much work to actually finish a book, so that is a big accomplishment!
-
This is so awesome. Congrats on all of it. A book is a huge accomplishment.

@Dulcie thank you so much for the nice compliments. That you can see that I have grown as an artist is probably the best thing I could hope to hear! I really appreciate it!
@natiwata thanks so much! It certainly is a lot of work but it also is such a great reward to see it all come together in the end too!
@Pamela-Fraley thank you very much!
