Thank you so so much for watching my beautiful Nuggets! I hope you enjoyed it! 😍🌸 If you want to check out the studio vlog where I create the book cover you can find it here: th-cam.com/video/W8fDFQJuId0/w-d-xo.html You can also purchase the book here: amzn.to/2K3Z3nd You are DA BEST! xxxxx
First off congrats, I also just published my first 2 books this year so I fully understand where you are coming from as a creative. Granted we may have different genres I do have a plan for a story i have written to be illustrated as a childrens book however is a horror. I have the manuscript, it is relatively short at around 1500 words, but i am not talented in the drawing department. Digital isnt really an option for me so what would you suggest?
Judith Ansley Possibly! I don’t even have a draft right now. I’m hoping to write one once I graduate college this winter. I’ll keep you in mind! What books have you illustrated?
Bitch same. I only started my illustrations on the first of this month and my due date is the 26th, still have a workbook and dissertation to do on top of the illustrations 😂
Thank you so much! I have dreamed of illustrating and writing children's books especially more now that I'm a Grandmother. I will definitely check out the rest of your channel. Again thank you!
Thanks for doing this! 😊 im just finishing off my master degree in Illustration and Animation and I really hope I can get a children’s book publish too at somepoint!
Thank you so much for sharing and well done for taking this step towards making your dreams happen! I will be coming back to this again and again as I am in the process of writing my own first children's book! THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm in the process of writing a children's book and learning to illustrate. It makes so happy to learn about the process. Your illustrations are beautiful and your video very informative. I have no skills in digital art, so I am definitely going to use traditional media.
Thank you for laying this out so simply. I've written a children's story, but I'm not a very good artist. I've been looking at videos for some help. The story board concept might help me out. Thanks again!
Congrats! I always wanted to be an illustrator but most people I tried to work with canceled their project. I know day it will come. Your style is beautiful
Amazing! I will definitely be showing this book to my little cousin. I am so so proud of you Catherine and I am so looking forward to purchasing this!!! 💕
This is so cool because one day a lady saw me sketching on some paper at work and asked me if I ever thought to illustrate children’s books and always felt I should after that!
Congrats!! It looks awesome! It’s funny how long these projects can take, and because our tastes, skills, and styles evolve in the process I feel like it’s easy to look back and nitpick. I felt the same way for a long time with my first book (meh, still do sometimes). But then you have this really cool thing that showcases your skills and creativity that you put so much time and effort into. It’s totally cool! 😎 Glad your experience was smooth and looking forward to your next book 👍👌
Really good video, thank you for sharing these invaluable lessons! I'm also on the path of illustrating my own children's book and it's refreshing to see other artists work and process! Your art is extremely lovely, btw
Hey, thank you so much for this video it helped me to order my work correctly, i loved the story board part! I actually did it myself before and it felt very easy and natural to do this step and now after you mentiond it i feel more confidant about what im doing right lol.. anyways thanks a lot!!! You are my hero ^^
Thank you for making this video! I'm a junior in highschool and I'm working with my english teacher to illustrate a book that he wrote as a project for high school credits. It's a super daunting project but I'm soooo excited to start and this video is super helpful :) (also I love your name lol)
Thank you for sharing everything! I just love the illustrations❤️ Isn’t it wonderful to continue learning and experiencing such a great opportunity? I foresee many children’s books 📚 for you! 🥰
I did see that studio vlog!! The book turned out so amazing!! Congratulations Catherine!! So happy for you! 😁 And thank you for sharing your process ❤️
Hello Catherine or Katnipp, I just thought I'd drop you a line, and let you know that my students are following along with your how to illustrate a children's book. We even have a hard copy of your illustrated book 'The Dragon Diamond' as an example. Thank you for all that you do and keep up the adorable and amazing work!
Here I am after I, out of nowhere, got an offer to illustrate for a children’s book, and I took it. I have no idea what or how to do things. Thank you for this helpful video. I wish myself a big phat luck. :/
Thanks for sharing! What a lovely video and brilliant to hear about the real life process. Not quite as scary as I imagined but still quite a responsibility to bring an author's work to life. Well done hun! Ps. your hair looks fab that length xxx
Congrats on finishing! 🎉🎉 I LOVE your work & your accent BTW 😁your so talented! You've totally inspired me to finish my children's book. I'm now a sub & can't wait to follow your career!
Hi Kat, thank you for sharing this. Very inspiring and absolutely no need to explain that your style has since evolved. You should be extremely proud that this represents your skillset at this stage of your journey as an artist. Why did you use Photoshop and not Pro-Create? As I know you mostly use Pro-create for your work now?
Congrats!! I've said it and I'm gonna say it again, thank you for being such an inspiration for just starting artists like me. Constantly chasing dreams 💕 Also, that's the cutest dragon ever!! 💕

This is so cool because one day a lady saw me sketching on some paper at work and asked me if I ever thought to illustrate children’s books and always felt I should after that!
Thanks so much for this video. I’ve had this idea about writing and illustrating my own children’s book since your studio vlog of you doing it.
Congrats!! It looks awesome! It’s funny how long these projects can take, and because our tastes, skills, and styles evolve in the process I feel like it’s easy to look back and nitpick. I felt the same way for a long time with my first book (meh, still do sometimes). But then you have this really cool thing that showcases your skills and creativity that you put so much time and effort into. It’s totally cool! 😎 Glad your experience was smooth and looking forward to your next book 👍👌
