I'm finally moving into the final art phase for this book. I'm feeling more confident with the watercolors. Do you traditional artists struggle with the scanning and color corrections? Do you use CMYK? #scbwiillustrators #scbwimichiganillustrators #inkandwatercolor #kidlitart #picturebookart

Hello! I decided to take flight into the Blue Sky world. (I keep thinking of the A-Ha song, "The Blue Sky" 😊). I'm on a journey to illustrate a children's book and enjoying the process along the way and am looking forward to connecting with others in the kidlit community. Peace! ☮️🦋
