So I’m planning to do some longer videos soon for Paid Subscribers, and decided to make a test video!
So if you happen to be a Librarian, Bookseller, or Teacher,
I am offering Complimentary Paid Subscriptions as a HUGE THANK YOU for all you do! ( aka FREE/GRATIS ) Just fill out here.
Honestly, if I could, I would deliver you coffee, and breakfast tacos each morning as well. Seriously, YOU ARE AMAZING…especially in current times!
AND I would also put flaming bags of goat poo on the porch of anyone who messes with you! ( FINALLY, an excuse for my baby goat herd! )
Anyway, here is my test video I did of me attempting to talk, and draw at the same time. SO HARD!
In it, I am drawing over rough sketches for the sequel to Papa’s Magical Water-Jug Clock. As I am currently neck deep in the final art for that wonderful libro.
Here is the chunky pencil I talk about in my video. I’ve been using them for a few years now, and just LOVE them.
Also, I talk a little about not torturing yourself as an artist, and using the computer to assist you in getting art done faster. I’m EXTREMELY traditional, but I totally use the computer to make small fixes in my artwork as I know that will MUCH faster for me than redrawing or repainting an entire spread.
As at the end of the day, Pictures Books need to get done by a deadline for the lovely team at my publisher, and for ME!
AS I NEED SPACE FOR OTHER BOOKS.
Because, like many of us creators, I have so many ideas I want to play with.
And so little time in the grand scheme of things…
Oh, and speaking of Connect 4.
Check out this playable sweater that is bound to get awkward REAL FAST.
Well, maybe not if you have 4 nipples…
Thanks for reading! AND please por favor let me know if you have any suggestions to improve my video, or requests for future videos!
Talking and drawing on camera gets easier! I've accepted I sound like a doofus in videos. You sound great!
