In today's video, I'll walk through my whole illustration process (the good, the bad, the ugly, and the REALLY ugly), and share with you a little story from my childhood that helped me create this piece. I'll show you some AMAZING watercolor tips I've been learning as well as a few little "art boo-boo's" I tend to make. XD

Watching you finish this illustration was incredibly inspiring. The cozy mood you captured here and the colors are perfect. Thank you for sharing!
Oh thank you so, so much!!
The whole picture is so cozy! I really like the shadow method first, then glazing on the washes after. Beautiful work!!
Ahh thank you so much!! 🥰
I love the trap-door bunny on the left!
Awww thank you!! 💛
Thank you for a great video. Even though the film was sped-up I was able to follow your process and I learned quite a bit just from watching and the close-ups were very helpful. I've subscribed.
Really gorgeous illustration. Loved watching it come to life, the little bunnies are adorable. They're all my favourite. 🧡💛💚
Oh thank you so much!! I’m so glad you like them all. They were such a joy to paint! 🥰
Ok I know that I say this every time, but I truly think this one is your best painting yet!! Those bunnies are just too cute; I can’t pick a favorite 🥺 also, I learned so much from this video!! I had no idea you could do the from greyscale to color technique with watercolor! I thought that it was just a digital and oil paint thing 😂 also when you talked about simplifying things and making sure you don’t distract the background details from the main focal point, I had never really considered that! You made so many good points.
Oh my goodness THANK YOU!! You are too sweet. 🥰 I’m so glad you enjoyed my illustration and that the video was helpful for you! The greyscale method has been LIFE CHANGING for me 😂
You succeed with what you strive at. And you are so damn talented. 💪🥰
Aww thank you so much!!
So great! Love the layering you did! Definitely looks like an illustration for a picture book!
Awww thank you!! I had a ton of fun with this painting 💛
You are very gifted. This painting turned out really good.
Thank you so much!! 💛
My favorite bunnies are the twins! Somehow they look a tad naughty as if they would be in the middle of things. And the one in the blanket is a tad confusing: where is his ears?? Are they folded back behind his head? But it is confusing as the others all have ears and then he doesnt have any so it makes me wonder if he could be a different type of critter visiting his rabbit pals (if that makes sense).
Awee thank you!! They do look a bit ornery. 😂💛 The blanketed bunny is meant to have his ears stretched behind him as his head is thrown back in a yawn. 😊
this is SO amazing. It tells SO much story. I absolutely love it.
Awww thank you!! I’m so glad you like it 🥰
Second one to left sitting upright he's adorable all your working of art stories are of Outstanding performance well done ty for sharing
Thank you so much!! 🥰💛
Great job. Loved watching you create this illustration!
Aww thank you!!
I loved this video, which I found randomly when I was trying to psych myself up to even thinking about illustrating my book. It ended up making me tear up. You did such a beautiful job! I am so fearful of messing up and not being "good enough," but your delightful dialogue and cozy scene, and the sweet memory with it, has really inspired me. Thanks! : )
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you enjoyed my video. 💛 Best of luck to you in illustrating your book!! That's such an amazing project!
Truly amazing! So fun to watch the process of a sketch become a painting. So talented!
Awee thank you!! 🥰

This was such a cute illustration! You always put so much work into it, and it really shows! I love it very much, and I really admire your talent! I tried out Watercolor the other day... It didn't go too well. Heh, but I did my best I think.
Another great job! Very nice! =)
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you like it. 😊 I bet your watercolor painting turned out amazing!!
@@allisonaletha You are very welcome! =D
Wow, I’m astounded by how talented you are! I came here to look for some tips for illustrating a children’s book I’m writing. Do you profile a service for this kind of thing? I’d definitely be interested 🥰
Awww thank you so, so much! I wish I had some helpful tips on illustrating children's books, but I've only illustrated one. 😅 School of Visual Storytelling here on TH-cam has a GOLD MINE of information on book illustration though!
Love it!
thank you!! 💛

My favortive childhood story the three little piggys
Aww that's such a good one!! 💛
I like it. New subscriber.
Ahh thank you! And thanks for subbing!! 💛
Amazing artwork! Did you use gouache for the highlights?
Thank you so much!! Yep, I used gouache for the highlights 💛
Sooo lovely ❤❤❤ ... I want to create an artwork like this, can you advice me where to learn all the basic stuffs? Thank you 😊
You said you used a lightbox to transfer the image to the final surface. Isn't watercolor paper too thick to use with a lightbox? What paper did you use for the final image?
I use Arches watercolor paper! The lightbox I use has a few different brightness settings, so I use the strongest setting when transferring to watercolor paper. 😊
Is hot press or cold press better for watercolor children's book illustrations?
That's a great question!! I don't think there's really one type that's better than the other; it's more up to the personal preference of the artist. I do have a video in my Beginner's Guide to Gouache playlist that goes more in depth on the different kinds of watercolor paper and what they're good for!
Where u buy screen board
Loved this but the music was too loud in places
Ahhh sorry about that! I was very new to video editing when I made this one 😂
