Fairy 39/100. My agent mentioned they like the stronger colour palette I have been experimenting with in another project so the fairies are going to have stronger colours and we will see how they turn out.
A golden fairy ready for autumn in search of fun! Here is the pencil sketch too.

It's all about bright colours for the next fairies. My niece Georgia has a cochlear implant and glasses, she loves rainbows and purple. This is practise for a special birthday illustration for Georgia which will feature her black cat. It's a surprise. Fairies 40,41 and 42.

@Judy-Elizabeth-Wilson I still stand by the fact you need to make patterns with your foliage. I want to see entire fabric collections from you. And the fairies, oh my gosh, they couldn’t be cuter!

I agree. A fabric line from you would be so gorgeous.

@Whitney-Simms Thanks Whitney. I would love to make patterns for licensing. I started a collection and would love to finish it and send to manufacturers, honestly I got stuck as to how to get all the way there. I watched Gina Jane's class so many times and also other youtubers who licensed their illustration work and found myself frozen at exactly what to do to get it done.
Whitney are you contacting manufacturers with your watercolour patterns? Would you like to team up and do it together?

[NessIllustration]

@Judy-Elizabeth-Wilson I know there are agents specifically for licensing - if you don't know how to get started maybe that would be a good place to start?

[Judy Elizabeth Wilson]

@TessaW Thanks Tessa.

@NessIllustration Hey Ness, thanks, that's a good idea. At this point the mountain feels so tall and at the same time I would love to start climbing it. Getting started is the hardest part, this is the most challenging part of working from a studio, you are figuring everything out as you go. I'm going to figure this out. I feel like I have the skills and just need to work out how to apply them to the business side of manufacturing.

@Judy-Elizabeth-Wilson I know exactly what you mean hun! I have a couple ideas for my own children's books, but whenever I've looked into either traditional publishing or self-publishing, I've turned green at both the amount of work involved and the huge amount of stuff I would have to learn to do this. You definitely have the skills, but getting in a new business is always a steep learning curve and very intimidating. Best of luck!!
