I had the opportunity to draft a children’s book for my illustration class! Due to time constraints I couldn’t flesh it out further, but I’m very satisfied with what I had. Sensory sensitivities can be a nightmare, especially as a child, and it was certainly one of my biggest hurdles as a kid. I’m glad to have the opportunity to have worked on something so personal!
An Adventure with Seymour the Dinosaur At the Hospital https://a.co/d/8kAxn5t
*FLAPS HANDS AROUND IN A PANIC*
The book I illustrated last year is available to purchase and NOBODY TOLD ME! How can I spread the adorableness that is Seymour if NOBODY TELLS ME?!! Ack!!!
It’s a lovely story about a boy who needs surgery and the adventure he has with Seymour while he’s under anesthesia. From the author’s own experience and becoming a doctor because of it, it’s a tale told to soothe scared adolescent patients.
There are pirates and rock monsters and flying trains! It’s lovely and fun!
idk if i ever mentioned it here but i illustrated my first children’s book last year :DD I’m still waiting for the actual book to come out, though i wanted to try drawing one of the MC’s in my usual/ preferred style <3
Trying to teach myself gauche. Figured traditional mediums would lend themselves to that cozy children’s book style illustrations of moomin characters.
Also, it seems like the internet thinks Joxter is a cat man, but I would like to posit this little critter is more of a river otter. Or like a musk rat (muddler maybe?) or perhaps something in the stoat/Martin/ferret family. He’s got the same facial markings as an otter, we see him on a boat adventure, and the body shape also kinda works. Also personality wise, otters are just like, extra feral water cats.
Edit: or maybe he’s a field mouse? Cat seems to think so
This is an illustration I did earlier this year, while imaging what a bluey book would look like if it was illustrated in a Beatrix Potter inspired style.
I turned the illustration into a mock page of a book and I couldn’t be happier with how it came together 🥰 I would love to do some more of these too, maybe I will when I get some time.
