Hi RJ! This illustration is absolutely beautiful! There is not much that I love more than a good book... however, those friendly creatures would not be coming from the books that I read. I wish that I had half of the imagination that inspires you! Thank you for sharing your lovely style and creativity!
Brilliant as usual!! Love a good book!! Well done!!thank you!1 I took a couple of your coloring books when I evacuated during the california fires. It seemed like the right thing to do because I needed some comfort and joy!!! 💗
I’m not even almost finished watching this, and KABOOM my mind is blown! Your hand hardly moves and the lines start appearing….then suddenly it is clear what it is!!! Oh I can’t wait to finish watching tomorrow. Thank you for letting us watch over your shoulder. And talking us through it.
Thanks so much for sharing your creative process and seeing one of your pages evolve! The development of characters is a topic of interest to me (something I am focussing on as I try to reinstate a regular drawing habit 😵💫). I really enjoy watching artists at work so thank you for allowing us into your studio, Jackie
That is mesmerizing to me!!! I want to be able to do that!!!! But I’ll settle for the enjoyment of coloring. RJ, you have got a great imagination and talent. By the way….the dragons never caught my eye. Just didn’t care for dragons. UNTIL……the little fellow took shape before my eyes!!! 😍
Thank you so much, I downloaded this earlier today and then found this video 😊 fascinating watching and listening to your process, and what a lovely gift 😊
Wow. this was incredible to watch. And using the red pencil is really cool. Gives us a look at how your mind works and all the leading steps to the result! Thank you so much for showing us this process!
@@rjhampson Appreciate the process a great deal, I've been wanting to get some art done on my dogs and my garden, so this is incredibly helpful to see your process. I like the red pencil usage too! I often thought using brown or taupe was the way to go, but you have changed my mind.
You are so very talented and you definitely make so many of us happy with being able to color your illustrations. I also agree with you about the cat…love him and should become a regular like Mr. Fogerty! Thanks for sharing ❤🫶🏼❣️

Yes, sometimes I use a light alcohol marker to rough it in too. Whatever feels like it works at the time. 😊
I’m so excited to draw this!!!
😊
@@rjhampson hahaha oh my, reading my comment over again after reading your reply and I realized I put draw and I definitely meant color lol
I thought you meant color, 😊 but maybe you should stretch and sketch? 😂
I try to draw. Key word, try haha
Will we be seeing more of this character?.....love her. X
😊 She was fun to draw Kelly. Who knows... 😂
A book dragon instead of a book worm!
Yep! Those worms are overrated... 😂🪱
You are so very talented and you definitely make so many of us happy with being able to color your illustrations. I also agree with you about the cat…love him and should become a regular like Mr. Fogerty! Thanks for sharing ❤🫶🏼❣️
