December #KidLitArtPostcard is here at last! May this month bring you lots of laughter and fun! Take time to do the things you love! Honestly had so much fun creating this piece. I love using hand painted textures and creating cute characters. *Looking for representation* #kidlitart #collage

I recently got the Tombow Cottage Set and had so much fun drawing a Halloween gal with them. 🎃 . #tombowbrushpen #tombowdualbrushpen #sketchbook #illustration

New profile picture. The wicker frog in the background tells you everything you need to know.

ScbwiArtober2025 It was a rough week so drawing FUZZY Bean 🐾 made me so happy but when she CARVED Pumpkin 🎃 she had something totally different in mind … a HIVE?! 🐝 #ScbwiArtober2025 #kidlitart #fuzzy #carve #hive #Bean #littlemissfuzzypaws

Another face from the England sketchbook- this one is “Portrait of a Young Woman” by Rubens and Studio, at the stunning @wallacemuseum in London. . #art #arthistory #sketchbook #sketch #illustration #rubens

I love the variety of seed delivery / dispersement systems trees have come up with! These four can all be seen 20 seconds walk from my house this month! Some hurt more than others if they land on your head 🙃 #kidlitart #illustration #autumn

Sketching some of my favorite paintings I saw in London! This is Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun’s “Self Portrait in a Straw Hat” and Caravaggio’s “Supper at Emmaus.” . #sketchbook #arthistory #sketch #travelsketchbook #illustration #prismacolor

Never stop improving your craft. There’s always another horizon.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I really wanted to draw these two for October- I kept it light and fun, but now I kind of wanna draw something spooky from the Unknown. 🎃 . #art #illustration #illustrator #overthegardenwall #otgw #otgwfanart #kidlitart

Another class project, the brief for this one was to create a wordless double page graphic novel spread. 🥞 . #art #illustration #kidlitart #illustrator #childrensbookillustration #dippen #procreate

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

A couple of drawings from my illustration class this Spring. The brief was to draw the same characters in two different locations, in a way that tells a story. Anteater was too big to fit into the café, so the bunnies brought him a picnic outside. 🐰 🌼 #art #watercolor #illustration #kidlitart

Current #animalcrossing squad. One of them decided to move right after I made this. 🤡 Can you name them all? . #acnh #acnhart #collage #collageart #animalcrossingnewhorizons #fanart

On Substack today, I’m writing about my art school sketchbook, and the fruitful but un-glamorous creative grind. #kidlitart

Sketchbook shenanigans ✨ #kidlitart

Though I strive to be a non-judgmental person, I simply can’t trust anyone who doesn’t consider The Princess Bride to be one of the greatest films of all-time.

Hey #kidlitartpostcard friends! I’m #kidit author/illustrator Annie Parsons: ✨ Open to artsy projects for young readers, especially MG covers, picture books, and board books ✨ Seeking literary representation ✨ Creating in watercolor, gouache, and collage ✨ Probably eating pasta

Jumping on the #starterpacknoai trend in my sketchbook. I intentionally made mine a bit messy and imperfect because I’m a human and proud of it. 🌺

“But he never reached the dog, for Sam Carraclough’s heavy, hobnailed boot trod on Hynes’s foot, pinning him to his position.“ Illustrated a scene from “Lassie Come-Home” for class- trying out some new things with graphite and imagining interior illustrations for middle grade! #kidlitart

New chatty post in the Story Studio!

🕰️ I spent over 1,000 hours learning to to become a picture book illustrator — because art college completely failed to teach me. Here's everything I learned distilled into 11 notes (that you can start applying today)

The older I get, the less I care about pleasing the algorithm. Some of my favorite artists don't have tens of thousands of followers or hundreds of likes, and they still make brilliant work! So I'm gonna continue to make whatever I feel like making and share as much of it as often as I want. 💁‍♂️

If you see this, post a unicorn you’ve painted/drawn! #kidlitart

Hopefully this will be me next year hehe

#kidlit friends, who are some of your favorite illustrators to follow on YouTube? 🎨

If you’re someone who draws all day you NEED to get up and exercise your body in some way/shape or form. It’s almost non-negotiable.

On other platforms I’ve tried to do the “don’t follow more people than follow you” thing, but here I’ve decided I Just Don’t Care. I’ve seen hundreds of gorgeous #kidlitartpostcard pieces today and I’m following as many of you as I possibly can.
