For the #scbwidrawthis prompt dream I made this! Inspiration in the comments! #kidlit

I had to change it up. Going with this.

Who else is applying for mentorship for #PBRisingStars ? Working on the practice application now. I’m really hoping this is the year I can get a bit closer to my goals of being a published author and illustrator! I know I got a few stories that are worth it.

#kidlitilloweek challenge! I was working on this (in my brain HA) and I think I’m going with the lion comp. Mailman at a zoo! #kidlit

All great work! You have a distinctive style!

A portfolio of illustrations for children’s books that includes a portrait of a boy with exaggerated eyes and ears wearing a t-shirt that says “cool” and mismatched socks, a child with wild hair who is disgusted with their oatmeal, a little boy dressed as a pirate at school while his classmates react in different ways, and a girl narrating a story about princess astronauts and aliens celebrating her birthday in space.

Happy #portfolioday! Enjoy all the fun art that comes across your feed today! #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitillustrator

Illustration of a young brown-skinned girl in a yellow sweater, a pink scarf, and a pink beanie. She’s wearing yellow glasses and her hair and scarf are blowing in the wind as a cool winter breeze gently blows around her. She looks like she enjoys soaking up winter.
