Gnarly branch using one pan. The color is called “frog’s breath” from an Etsy store based in Thailand. It has such an interesting tone when dark bark color changes to a green gray with water. Brush from Lebenzon brushes.

Character sketching and mixing different colors to get a richer skin hue. Do you mix or do you just use the color straight from the pan/tube? #kidlitart

A curious little seahorse for #kidlitartpostcard day 🌊
I’m an illustrator living in the beautiful foothills of North Carolina USA. Looking for representation and projects: picture books, and MG and YA covers/interiors.

One of my oldest artwork. I drew this in 2009 when I first bought my Copics. It’s my very first marker art. It’s cool to see how my style has changed since. I started with watercolors ~10 years later and then digital last year.
Let’s see your old pieces! I’d love to see them.

Hello #kidlitartpostcard day! I am a children’s illustrator based in NC, USA looking for representation. I work in both traditional and digital watercolors and love illustrating Asian and AAPI cultures. Aside from depicting traditions/ the family unit, I love exploring fantastical elements as well.

Feeling the tiktok ban this morning, so I thought I’d post my first video here in Bluesky — only to be unable to post any videos. Videos are not even visible for me to select for upload. So here’s a picture instead, whomp whomp. #booktok

Happy 1st kidlitartpostcard of 2025! I’m a Filipino American children’s illustrator based NC, USA! I love amplifying AAPI stories, whether PB, MG or YA. I’d especially love to be considered for fantastic myths and fables, specially if the lore is based in Asia.

One of the things I want to do more in 2025 is buy art books for inspiration and reference. Studio Ghibli is one of my ultimate inspirations. #childrensillustrator #kidlitartist

Did this a few months ago when I first started using gouache. It’s definitely different from watercolor, even if it has similarities. Here’s my doodle Comet playing with a butterfly 🦋
Do you like watercolors or gouache more?

The fact that they haven’t even dried yet but I can literally see that this set of greens from Daniel Smith watercolors and I are going to be besties. They are separating into beautiful colors. What’s your favorite green?

One house portrait art commission done! I love when they request for extra details like this cute puppy. My client is gifting this to her friend (so sweet!)
Imagine getting gifted a custom watercolor. Wouldn’t you like to receive a house portrait for Christmas? 🎄

I’m in this stage in the middle of art commissions where I look at my work and I seriously think about all my past decisions and wonder why I keep making art. You’re an artist if you know this feeling 🫠

Opened up one of my watercolor blocks and what do I see? A story that I forgot to finish telling. This was probably from 4-5 years ago.

Went to SCBWI-Carolina’s fall conference this past weekend and I’m just so energized to create more work for my portfolio. I really enjoyed Portfolio Fest and now I’m wondering why I don’t go to a conference more often 😅 #scbwi #kidlitartist #childrensillustrator
