What a journey! That's amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience, it is really inspiring and motivating. I am sure there's a lot of people (including myself) who have ideas but don't act on it but your breakdown step-by-step is super helpful to make it more feasible.
Thank you so much for sweet word and encouragment! I am still learning lots of process yet, but it was so great for me to summarize what I have done for deeper understanding. I am happy to break down more each step^^
Definitely something that I would love to do someday when I am retired from my day job. I have illustrated for a church before, but I wasn't involved in the entire process, and because it's a non-profit, they only request the front cover to be in full color to make everything economical. It was a fun project for sure, and I actually have a mock copy of the book :) I also got an offer to illustrate another children's book, but the plan fell through, after I created the storyboard, and rough sketches of the pages. This video certainly helps me to understand the proper process better, but I am also glad that I didn't stray too far from it :) Thanks again!
Oh, that's so cool that you were working on a children's project! Yeah, children's book projects for usually take me 3 to 6 months when I work for clients. There's usually a lot of back and forth, but it's super fulfilling once you finish your project and receive a book. Since my main focus is illustrating children's books recently, I'd love to work on more related projects for your future project. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Can I request you to make a video about your art book and thinking process?😎✨
