Hey #kidlit illustrators!

I'm looking for an artist to work on a picture book who can capture both the grandeur of vast arctic landscapes AND the intimacy of a family's story peppered with wildlife. Share samples below. Please no DMs. Agents feel free to email.

Oh my. Ok. Will come back to your comment next time I get to have a longer drawing sesh. Thank you for sharing!

I tried to get familiar with Affinity Photo today, but the brush just wasn't being very smooth. So I switched to Clip Studio Paint and it felt a little more natural.
Still… it also feels like starting over!

Hello! A little shop plug: I'm Sarah and I like to draw spooky and atmospheric things, from TV, film and books, landscapes, legends and whatever emerges from my fusty old head. I make prints and occasionally other things and my shop is here. Reposts much appreciated. Thanks! sarahcoomershop.etsy.com

I wasn’t aware of the 50% price increase by Adobe on my monthly plan until yesterday.
I have 28 days to fully embrace my Clip Studio Pro 2.0 Perpetual Version and the Affinity 2 Universal License. Change is hard. Any words of encouragement by CSP or Affinity users who switched from PS? #kidlitart

One month of sketches! See them here at my substack: open.substack.com/pub/monbaum/...

Hey #kidlit illustrators, I'm looking for an artist who can capture apartment-life in an urban setting for a beginning reader series with a vibrant ensemble cast and a grayscale interior.

Respond here with images and a link to your folio.

Please no DMs. Agents are welcome to email.

I made up for not sketching yesterday by filling two pages today.
But… I’m quite disillusioned about sharing art on social media at the moment. It’s like it doesn’t matter whether I post or not. 😔
What matters to me: having a daily art practice & showing up as consistently as possible. For myself.

Brezen, Brezeln or Pretzels, what do you call them? 🥨🍻

Hey #kidlit illustrators, I'm looking for an artist who can conjure hilariously expressive animals with commercial appeal for a character-driven picture book that's packed with dialogue and action.

Respond here with images and a link to your folio.

I need to make art daily. This is a rather recent intention, and I am going with the flow. No overthinking. Basically, I’m getting started immediately, and that is the most important thing.

Here’s my sketch for today. No kidlitart, just groceries.

Happy New Year, folks! 🎈And the first #kidlitpostcard of the year!

I’m still lost in Bluesky but it is on my list of things to figure it out in 2025. 🤯

My concrete goal for the year is to get representation from an agent!!

Happy New Year! Just days after Naomi was born last Spring, these sunflowers in our backyard burst into bloom. Grandma Kim sprinkled some seeds a few weeks earlier and they decided to make a dramatic entrance for our little lady's big welcome.
