Not all heroes wear pants.🙌 But it’s the cape that makes one look like a pro anyway. My guy looks even more dashing now, all colored in. I named him Doug, because, well, he looks like a Doug…🐶 #characterdesign #illustration #procreate

He’s majestic!✨ He’s brave! A dashing hero in underpants, ready to save the world! 🐶🦴 #sketch #characterdesign

A special little fox, wishing you a lovely weekend!🦊✨ I came up with two different color versions. Which one do you like more? Light or dark? Let me know!🙂 #procreate #illustration #drawing

Gave this little guy some things to do so I could explore the character further.🐶 Next step is to give him some friends and write a story.🤓 #kidlitart #doggy #sketch #characterdesign #procreate

Even people with deep publishing experience get confused about the roles in #kidlit publishing. I use a filmmaking analogy to build a bridge. Book Editor = Producer Art Director = Director Book Designer = Film Editor Author = Screenwriter Illustrator = Actors, Cinematographer, + EVERYTHING ELSE
