@Mara-Price Thanks Mara!

idid

your illustrations are so much fun! and you've got a unique/signature palette

I am just curious, since I was reading your posts about how long does each book take for different people/project, is this a fast or long project for you? Thank you!

NessIllustration

@idid Thank you so much dear!
This one was a rather quickie project, because it's a very short book of just 3 spreads, 1 single page, a cover and 3 pages of hoops. But I had a good 2-3 months to do it which was really roomy! I was able to spread out the work in such a way that I barely felt it. Most weeks I'd be working like 4 days on other projects, and half a day on this one.

So exciting!!! Congratulations!!

NessIllustration

@Laurasketches Thank you so much dear I've been working on a lot of stuff, but since I'm now involved in projects with longer development time and with the pandemic, it's been almost a year since I actually had a book come out. Seeing a printed book for the first time, holding it, flipping through it, it really reminds you why we do this! It really feels wonderful and dang it I hope they hurry up the printing of my next one hahaha
