This week I started a picture book dummy workshop with @illusdept and the first session alone was worth every penny. This weekend I’m working on my storyboard, and for the first time in a long time I know what the hell I’m doing. Recommend 100 times over. ...Chibi agrees. #picturebook #storyboard #dummybook #kidlit #sketches #ink #cat https://www.instagram.com/p/BqACbvehIFr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dvg5sh7s62ub

Here’s the full sequence of my children’s book entry for a national competition. Learned a lot this year and am proud of my development. Will definitely use what I learned on the children’s book I’m currently writing and illustrating 💕 #kidlit #childrensbook #watercolor #digital #traditional #tradigital https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo8oyMdhHUG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j8b870fhth75

‘Since brother was behaving in such an odd way, I took it upon myself to investigate further after midnight. Can you believe I found a book under his pillow? With notes in it!!’ Had a lot of fun exploring this traditional + digital approach!! 💗 #watercolor #traditionalart #scan #digital #purple #ink #digitalart https://www.instagram.com/p/BoM2LTSh9b2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vvrytbefg8ox
