Congratulations! 🎉

I honestly don’t think I’m great at any of them, judging by my rate of success, but I keep trying nonetheless. Actually, I do like finding comp titles, maybe I am good at that. #kidlitchat

Oooo this looks awesome! I’m always on the lookout for great illustrated nonfiction history for kids.

I think the things we know are connected to the act of making something from nothing, and the way that connects to gaining knowledge of self. James Baldwin speaks to it better than I can. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGwP...

The best advice I’ve ever been given is to put black over your characters and motifs so you can see them in silhouette. If the shape still reads well then you know your composition and your drawing is good. I learned this quite late and I wish I had been doing this sooner.

“Things” that other people don’t see.

Do you think it comes from a place of being a true observer? I have often realized that I see that other people around me don’t see, only because my eye has been trained to notice every detail, every color, every mood, in order to capture those things in my work. The keen eye of an artist.
