Working on the black and white part of my portfolio. Sometimes I wish I could just sit and draw chapter heading images all day. #illustrator #kidlit #procreate

My entire life I've been best working in black and white and yet that's the part of my portfolio that's currently unfinished.

ICYMI, the June 4th #KidLitArtPostcard event marks the 5th anniversary. I'm suggesting a theme for our illustrations: You, as a kid. Learn more about the event here: www.ginaperry.com/postcard #kidlit (We still have a May 7th event too!)

Here is what’s left of a gif that didn’t work out for my last blog post. So much time for so little work lol #illustration #animation #space

I just posted a new blog post! This one is all about space and using what you love as inspiration. Plus, I needed an excuse to make some space doodles. This Artemis crew brought too much moon joy to ignore. Check it out! Link in my bio!

Working on some character designs for a book dummy I’ve been working on. I’m really loving this pencil texture… maybe I should color everything this way. #kidlitart #illustration #picturebooks

Illustrators who have worked with highlights, I'm curious, how are you getting work from them? Some of you have agents, some don't. A lot of it seems to be repeat work from people who have been doing these types of gigs forever. Is it possible to be new and sneak in here and there?

I’ve had terrible heart palpitations lately and it’s got me really down. I’m blaming my POTS since that seems to be the cause of everything but my god.

My 4 year old daughter draws chickens better than I do.

Way back I used to draw a lot more dinosaurs. Thinking about this little steggy today and wanting to draw some more of them. 🥰 #kidlit #dinosaurs #childrensbooks #illustration #procreate

Trying to lean into the stuff I enjoy. Really loving this quick sketch. #kidlitart #illustration #sketchwork #childrensbooks

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you get to spend it with whoever you love :) #childrensbooks #kidlitart #procreate #illustration

Christmas Baking. Another piece I finished for my portfolio at the beginning of the year! #kidlitart #illustration #childrensbooks

“Let you alone! That’s all very well, but how can I leave myself alone? We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?” -Fahrenheit 451

To publishers, authors, & others posting about illustrated books, including covers that have illustration: Please credit the ILLUSTRATOR. This not only helps boost the illustrator, but also shows that you value HUMAN illustrators. #PicturesMeanBusiness

The only comfortable place for a whippet in a snowstorm

“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above boarded gold, it would be a merrier world.” -The Hobbit

“His rage passes description—the sort of rage that is only seen when rich folk that have more than they can enjoy suddenly lose something they have long had but have never used or wanted. “ -The Hobbit This feels relevant right now.

Illustrators, tell me how to be good at networking because man, I am not good at networking. #kidlit

The @scbwi conference has been super inspirational so far. It’s so nice to be surrounded by people who understand what it is you’re trying to do.

Finished a 3rd character pose for a character design sheet I added to my portfolio. I’m really happy with how it came out! #kidlitart #illustration #childrensbooks

The prints for my portfolio are out for delivery and I am both very relieved and suddenly very nervous that I screwed them all up. Anxiety never rests I guess. 🤷‍♀️😂
