I'm also researching about other avenues of art I could do like: stationary art for two-pocket file folders, graphic novels/comic books in the KidLit & YA slice of life genre (I want to stay away from magic), web browser theme design, phone/laptop case design & posters & bookmarks. If anyone here on DA has advice/experience in creating these, please let me know. I'd like to hear what you have to say about making art for these areas. I’ve loved to draw since I was a little girl of six. Of course I’ve improved a lot since then! I’m always learning new methods to drawing both traditionally and digitally; predominately digitally though since I'm more comfortable with that medium, that will help me be a useful illustrator to the wonderfully creative authors of children’s books. A 2015 graduate of Modesto Junior College with an AA degree in Art.
I love how children's book art can be whimsical, serious, thoughtful, and heartwarming which in turn draws you into the story. I plan to illustrate and write my own stories. (easier said than done I'm discovering!) But I'm also willing to illustrate for others KidLit stories if I like the story (and you like my art!) and feel I can bring the right emotions to an author's story that they are looking for.
