I just noticed recently that my manner of drawing children faces is shifting from completely primitive and cartoon style to more classic one. And I also look back at my illustrations from 2-3 years ago, and I feel that I compare myself less to others and seek something that I simply enjoy doing just like at the beginning of my illustration journey. #childrenillustrator #childrensbooksillustration #childrensbookpublishing #characterdrawing #picturebookartist #nonfictionbooks #middlegradebooks #picturebookmaker #kidlitartpostcard #kidlitillustration #kidlitpublishing #illustrationjeunesse #kinderbücher #иллюстрациядлядетей #childrensillustratorsart #kidsbooksillustration
Finding Inspiration Within ✨ There are moments in our creative journeys when no matter how hard we try, the illustration just doesn’t seem to come together. In my case, it was this piece from a past #folktaleweek challenge. Despite multiple attempts, I couldn’t seem to finish it. I tried different approaches, sought inspiration from others’ works, and scoured Pinterest for palettes, but nothing clicked. Then, a thought occurred to me—why not find inspiration within myself? I revisited the process of creating my favorite illustrations, and that’s when it hit me! The spark ignited, and suddenly, the process flowed effortlessly. I was able to bring this illustration to life just the way I envisioned it! Funny, but it turns out that I forgot how to draw in my own style? 🤔 Sometimes, the answer to our creative blockages lies much closer than we think. While drawing inspiration from others is valuable, there’s immense power in tapping into our own creativity and intuition. Trust yourself—you might just uncover the perfect solution within. #ArtisticJourney #CreativeProcess #kidlit #FolkTaleArt #kidlitart #kidlitbook #kidlitpublishing #kidlitpublication #bookillustration #bookillustrator #storytime #bookstoreday #bookstagram #illustrationart #folktaleweek

🧡 Day One of @bolognachildrensbookfair 🧡 What can I say? It’s been magical seeing my illos at the book fair. Only a year ago @la.zuc and I were pitching this book at the fair, lugging my portfolio around to as many stalls as we could. And now we have a whole wall dedicated to our book! It’s surreal to say the least. I’ve met so many lovely new faces this time around too (you know who you are!) and spent the past two days by myself and amongst such wonderful, talented and supportive friends 🌟 So much value to take away, and so much inspiration for the months ahead 🙌🏻 Thank you to the @edizionicurci team for taking such good care of our book! 💛💛💛 . . . #bcbf24 #bcbf #bolognachildrensbookfair #edizionicurcimusicpublishig #gouacheillustration #danzandosottolapioggia #dancingintherain #childrensbook #dancingbook #bolognabookfair #kidlitillustration #kidlitpublishing #kidlitillustrator #childrensbooksnorth #childrens_illustration

🌱 Part 3 of my picture book process! 📚🌈☔️ Three months after our trip to @bolognachildrensbookfair we finally found home for Danzando sotto la Pioggia, with @edizionicurci - a Milan publishing house specialising in books about music 🌞 Giulia did an amazing job for us both, communicating with the team, and with the help of Patricia Ward Kelly, we got the go ahead from Warner Bros to illustrate some of Gene’s most iconic scenes 🎬 By May 2023 I began the internal illustrations, and spent the summer painting each scene. 🙌🏻✨ These are some of my favourite snaps from that time. Some days were intense, and others I finished spreads in a few hours. There were a lot of headaches, hand cramps, and I went through so many tubes of paint 😆 but I’m happy to say it was all worth it 💛 ✏️ One of my favourite spreads, as he grows up, Olmo dances side by side with Gene in some of his most iconic numbers ✏️ A stressful day, we had a very short deadline for the cover and I had to work with feedback in real time, updating the team in Italy as I worked ✏️ Title page (ft a VERY messy desk 🥴) ✏️ Working on end papers on a sunny Sunday evening ✏️ The soldiers reference the iconic ballet scene from American in Paris. Throughout the book Olmo carries a doll of the same soldier. In this imaginary scene, the soldiers have come to life ✨ ✏️ One of the final spreads I painted, showing the rest of Olmo’s family. I tend to colour block while painting large spreads, saving time and paint 💪🏻 ✏️ One of many late nights ✏️ #workinprogress ✏️ Another scene that had quite a few amendments. The publishers asked that I made the tree more “festive”...I think I did a good job? 🎄🎄🎄 ✏️ Picture Book = Complete! . . . #catherineboothillustration #danzandosottolapioggia #dancingintherain #italianpicturebook #genekelly #genekellylegacy @la.zuc @genekellylegacy #picturebookprocess #childrensbookpromotion #kidlitartist #kidlitprocess #kidlitpublishing

So many big developments have been in the works this past year, from Ambika and I formalizing our merger with @sambasivanandparikh—@yalibooks and @modernmarigoldbooks are now officially imprints of Sambasivan & Parikh 🙌🏽— to networking with potential partners, collaborators, and mentors to working on classroom resources and four upcoming picture books together. Much of it has taken us away from social media, especially as we are focusing a lot more energy and time on growth in the school and library market. But we're excited to keep you as up-to-date as possible on everything going on and it's going to be an exciting 2024. Sooo, I'm excited to share that Ambika and I have been asked to be keynote speakers in a presentation at @ibpalovesindies 2024 Publishing University!!! We are both stepping into new territory with this news which is mostly exciting and a little nerve-wracking, but we're looking forward to sharing a bit of what we've learned along the way and connect with fellow publishers at the conference! Stay tuned for more exciting news coming up soon! #publishing #kidslit #smallpress #womeninpublishing #womenowned

Feeling surrounded by the January greys out there I added some warmth to an old drawing I found again. Now I just need create some characters to this whimsical little world. Let the adventures begin. I’ve got some ideas already and I hope you’ll like them too 🌿✨ . . . #painting #drawing #kidlitart #kidlitpublishing #watercolour #gouache #mixedmedia #sletchbook #januaryblues #skizzenbuch #aquarell #deborahschreiber #illustration #traditionalart #imagination #fantasie #kunterbunt #travelling #yellow #orange #purple #blue #farbenfroh #kunterbunt #art #moreillustrations #plants #nature

Happy Book Publishers Day!✨📚 I’m proud to be an independent book publisher who self-published amazing children’s books. 📚✨ Looking forward to releasing 2 new children’s books this year, and I can’t wait to share them with you all. First up is “I Breathe For Me” which comes out on March 5th. #selfpub #bookpublishing #kidlitpublishing #kidlitauthor #childrensbooks #picturebooks #publishingjourney #blackpublishers
while I liked working with others over the last 30+ years, it’s been a real joy to create what I want, how I want,and on my own terms. www.twobridgespublishing.com #picturebook #childrensbooks #kidlitpublishing

Here’s my 2023 arts recap: I will be honest I thought it was going to be. more productive year but between grief and life and some health issues I wasn’t able to work as much as I wanted to. Here’s to starting 2024 on the right foot and fingers crossed my creative dreams will all come true ! #illustration #illustrator #kidlitillustrators #kidlitart #kidliartpostcard #kidlitartist #childrenillustration #childrensbookillustration #kidlitpublishing
