What a journey! That's amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience, it is really inspiring and motivating. I am sure there's a lot of people (including myself) who have ideas but don't act on it but your breakdown step-by-step is super helpful to make it more feasible.
Thank you so much for sweet word and encouragment! I am still learning lots of process yet, but it was so great for me to summarize what I have done for deeper understanding. I am happy to break down more each step^^
Definitely something that I would love to do someday when I am retired from my day job. I have illustrated for a church before, but I wasn't involved in the entire process, and because it's a non-profit, they only request the front cover to be in full color to make everything economical. It was a fun project for sure, and I actually have a mock copy of the book :) I also got an offer to illustrate another children's book, but the plan fell through, after I created the storyboard, and rough sketches of the pages. This video certainly helps me to understand the proper process better, but I am also glad that I didn't stray too far from it :) Thanks again!
Oh, that's so cool that you were working on a children's project! Yeah, children's book projects for usually take me 3 to 6 months when I work for clients. There's usually a lot of back and forth, but it's super fulfilling once you finish your project and receive a book. Since my main focus is illustrating children's books recently, I'd love to work on more related projects for your future project. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Heya! after going through many publishing videos I found your video randomly and got a whole clarity on how to go about with my book! Thankyou so much for this valuable and super informative video! lots of love from India!❤❤
Hi, thank you for finding my videos! I am so happy to hear that my video gave you information!☺️ Tomorrow my new video will be out and I talk about "How to become a children book illustrator" if you are interested! (It's spoiler alert! 😆) Good luck with your book^^
Thank you so much for sweet encouragement! I am happy to break down each step in future videos! Children's book takes long time to complete, but it is very fulfilling once you finish!
So neat! Your book looks very cute and I'm sure the kiddos are loving it! I've toyed with creating an art book - not necessarily for children - and these steps seem to be useful in many book genres. Congratulations on your successful book! Very inspirational.
Thank you for watching this video too! It's like you're accompanying me on my art journey, hehe. Doing RU-vid has been great for connecting with artists like you. I'm really happy about it😄 That's great! Making an art book is something I want to do as well. With all the sketchbooks you have, I'm sure your art book is super fun! Can I request you to make a video about your art book and thinking process?😎✨
@@ogawachikako Oh I'd love to make a video or three if I dive deep into that again. Right now with a full-time job, and youtube channel, my time is so limited. But at some point I'm sure I'll give it more thought again and I'll be picking your brain for more info!!
Oh that's so sweet☺️ I am happy to hear that was helpful! I am willing to add additional information about children book to my future videos! Good luck with your future children's book project💪
Really love your videos it’s inspiring🫶🏻!! Just a small request, if you can cover a topic about how do we do the layouts for the children’s book. Thank you!! :)
Thank you for watching the video. I'm happy to know it was inspiring 😄 Oh, it will be a nice content to talk about it! Of course, I've added your request to my list💪
