Day 1. Daily doodles finally getting colour!

After a year working on the cintiq my style is changing and is at a crossroad.

193/365 Tiger and his cute friends in watercolour and ink.

Hello everyone. Something different from me, a girl racing her beautiful horse.

For Will. Thanks @ShannonBiondi

Day 1/30. New challenge. 30 Days of drawing monsters and aliens. All very cute and friendly of course! A good excuse to practice getting messy with digital brushes.

Some more done on this cute snowy scene.

Thanks so much Lee. Here are my best watercolour illustrations from this year.

Day 5.

A new challenge. I'm working on a picture book which is for young children and is full of fairies so this challenge is drawing fairies, all the things they do in the garden and thinking about gesture and expression. And hopefully be better a 100 drawings in the future. Critiques welcome! This is all about getting better.

@Laurel-Aylesworth Thanks Laurel. I really hope they love colouring all the fairy art and it keeps them busy! Fantastic.

@Jeremy-Ross Thank you!

@jsnzart Thanks.

@Gary-Wilkinson wow love this!

@TessaW said in Colouring Book is published on Amazon:

Wow, congratulations! That was a big project and it looks adorable. Thanks for sharing the process.

Thanks @TessaW

Here it is!

@Jeremy-Ross Brilliant, great exercise!

If anyone ever wants any help or advice with how to start making your own book feel free to ask questions.

Today I finished uploading the colouring book to Amazon. With 30 illustrations to colour it is 72 pages long. On the of back of each illustration is a description or back story. Then there are some other pages, publishing pg, inside title, introduction, a colouring materials testing pg and an about the artist pg.
This step by step guide by Let's Draw with BeeJayDeL is straight forward if you are thinking of creating your own self published book project.

I'm waiting for the Look Inside feature on Amazon to become live which takes 7 days then I will share the link so you can see inside the book.

One thing to add is after doing a project like this you do feel wiped. You need to refill your creative bank account. Back to to drawing board to refuel.

This is the cover starring some of the characters inside. It brings everything together.

Here is the link https://www.amazon.com/Best-Fairy-Colouring-Book-World/dp/0997872985/ref=pd_rhf_se_p_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=QG1GV0DM5JR65HX1QKRH

Some of the colouring pages. The border is something I didn't do in the Little Tiger Colouring Book and it makes the pages look neater. Also thicker lines in this book. Easier for kids to colour.
