My 8 year old daughter loves the book. she has watched it the past 2 nights in bed. And this morning before going to school she said she was gonna eat all her carrots at dinner tonight. So thank you Travis. lol. Great book with beautiful artwork and a magical story. xx
I absolutely love the characters on the side of each page. I love that you were able to use pieces you created in the brainstorming stage in the final piece!
Im a few years behind seeing this video. I was seeking Adult/children coloring book production. This book is absolutely beautiful. The style of art is something adult colorist seek. Just amazing... Children definitely motivate us and inspire us to reach levels of creativity we didn't know we could do. Thank you for sharing a ton of information..
What a clever book both, illustration and text and I love your theme. I hope someone picks up your work and you make loads of money. Great work. I'm sure you have many in the pipeline. I published my first book as an experience. It cost me heaps but gave me great satisfaction. As you create both text and illustration you are well ahead of me as I write only.
Im tearing up, this is so beautiful that you and your wife created this for your daughter!!! :) very inspiring and informative.. thank you for the video.
Yes I would buy it. I am a bit biased because I love your family and watch all your channels but besides that I think the book is a great lesson and just the illustrations alone kept my son's attention. Yes it is personal but at the same time it covers a wondrous and creative side that I feel all children would be interested in. I would be honored to buy a copy and be able to share it will my family.
I've been subscribed from the beginning of your channel and I'm so happy to see that you've stuck with your book idea and seen it through to the end! I'm 26 and don't have kids but I found the illustrations in the book to be beautifully drawn, detailed and interesting to look at. After you've done Emery's book and had more practise, maybe you could look into creating a series of short picture books? I think I found Alaina's book more relatable because I've been watching Carah's channel since before she was even born but I'd still buy that to gift to people with young kids. The pictures are captivating and the story is relevant enough for most people to enjoy. I reckon it would be cool if you wrote a more unique story because you've got the illustrative capacity to really bring it to life and inspire the imagination. One of my favourite books from when I was a kid was "Just Another Ordinary Day" by Rod Clement. A really great picture story book sticks with you for years, sometimes even after you're all grown up!
+lindor121 Thank you. I based this book on the preference of a 3 year old and feel that as Alaina gets older and expands her world and her mind I will be able tackle more complex ideas. I will have a better Idea of what a young girls like. Emery's book might be more targeted to a young girl 7-8 years old.
You should consider selling the book. You worked so hard on it to not get it published! Love your family! Now you need to make a book for Emery! You are so talented!
Dude...I HIGHLY recommend Kickstarter, I think you could have a very successful campaign and get this sucker printed up. I think the same would work well for a book of a gathering of your random sketchbook drawings. I know I would buy both. I'm currently running a (successful) kickstarter campaign for a deck of poker cards featuring my artwork and would be glad to share what I've learned. But more importantly I know of two other artists with a lot of similarities to you and what you're trying to do who are doing very well on Kickstarter. I'm going to email you with more details. Keep up the great work, book looks amazing.
I would support anything you print...I love the watercolor that's my favorite style. My daughter Maddyson (she's eight) loved the book...she's a huge fairy and mermaid fan.
Great work! That book is truly a piece of art... Did you considered self publishing it on create space? It might be a good option for people that would want the hard copy...
That's straight up amazing. There are agents who represent authors/illustrators, and yours looks like quality that is definitely worth their time. Awesome. Have you considered Createspace to publish it?
I'm so glad the book/story is finish very proud of you. I been watching since you started drawing the story. If I had kids I will definitely buy your book. LOVE all the details you put in the book. it looks beautiful. Also I don't see anything wrong with your book. I think you should sell the books and let the people choose the copy they want with the different price of each copy. Anyways! Congrats Travis.
+shoesgal01 Thank you. I think i'm going to give people that option. After reading some of the comments from people, I think I will just offer the blurb books and let people know when the sales are going on.
Hey my man how you doing, I really like the artwork and the book even though I haven't read it. But I actually just finished writing my book which I think is amazing...lol... Neway I was wandering if you could give me some more advice and do you work with independent people like my self to publish a book.
Travis this book is amazing, and believe me the school my son goes to, they make us buy books for even $80 dollars, one of then was about $100 dollars, but thanks god we found it used online for like $30 dollars, I'm pretty sure you will get the found on Kickstarter, because those illustrations are amazing! I could tell you the name of the books so you can check them out: yours its just way better! I'm writing my sons book now too, I would like you to give me some advise if you can. mine its completely digital. thanks for your book.
Hi Trav, this is the first time that I watched some of your videos and I really like what you do. I'm interested to see more details in this book but I could not find a link/website that you mentioned. Is there some other way to download pdf? Tnx!
I want to make a book for my 1 year old twin girls. Are there any websites where I can create a book where they print it and send it to me? I also wanted to know how would you get your drawings onto your computer? Do you need to scan them into any particular software? Sorry for the questions I'm an amateur!
Publishers are thieves stay well away. They wanted £4,000 to publish my book and I got very small royalty also they wanted to change everything.do it yourself.what you earn is yours and your in control.lovely book.
I love this! I've been watching since the beginning and I just love your illustration style. It's awesome to see the book come together! Have you checked out lulu.com for printing? They have hard cover books for pretty reasonable prices plus you can do self publishing on that site as well. ☺
+SketchyTrav Congrats on your book and your mistakes. I have made quite a lot of them myself. I am self published and an Author of a childrens book and I just want to share how I print my books. I print them through ingramspark. Here is how you can calculate price www.ingramspark.com/resources/tools and the site www.ingramspark.com/. If you find a cheaper way let me know. The other option is getting a literary agent but I am kind of avoiding one right now because I am just not sure yet about people taking percentages of your own work. I am hesitant. After you print I would go bookstore to bookstore around your area and talk to buyers. Also, do book readings because they are fun. Have fun and welcome to the world of creating stories for the little ones. Can't wait to see your book in stores. Congrats again on your book and love your art.
My 8 year old daughter loves the book. she has watched it the past 2 nights in bed. And this morning before going to school she said she was gonna eat all her carrots at dinner tonight. So thank you Travis. lol. Great book with beautiful artwork and a magical story. xx
+Kim Pierce that is so awesome!! :D :D

I am so proud of you Travis...words can't explain. You inspire me. Thank you.
I absolutely love the characters on the side of each page. I love that you were able to use pieces you created in the brainstorming stage in the final piece!
This book is so beautiful!
I'm so excited!! Its beautiful Travis!!!!
I still remember when you drew pic of bug in crib! She's going to treasure this book her whole life.
Such a beautiful gift for your daughter. The illustrations are mind blowing, really love it.

What do you think about working in procreate on ipad pro for making illustrated children books?
Hi Trav, this is the first time that I watched some of your videos and I really like what you do. I'm interested to see more details in this book but I could not find a link/website that you mentioned. Is there some other way to download pdf? Tnx!
Did you check into Amazon self publishing?
Great!
So cool!!!
I want to make a book for my 1 year old twin girls. Are there any websites where I can create a book where they print it and send it to me?

I would love to get a hard copy of your book! With it signed! Pretty please!
The book looks really beautiful :)
I would show the video to my nephew and niece but they only speak finnish :b But maybe I'll translate it to them.
For my advanced higher I am planning to make a children's book, is there any advice you can give me? Well done Travis this looks brilliant :)
it won't be sold
+Craig Arts plan the illustrations around the finished story text, that's what I would change about my book if I could.
+SketchyTrav Thank you very much travis for responding have a gr8 day
it was Clash of the Titans that had the mechanical owl(Bubo) not Jason and the Argonauts.
am spechles omg it's so beautiful nice work and are you still selling them I'd like to get the long one if possible
You're so talented! Have you ever thought of doing graphic novels?
+Kooli O This started as a graphic novel but I changed it to a more manageable project. However a graphic novel is an item on my bucket list.
Publishers are thieves stay well away. They wanted £4,000 to publish my book and I got very small royalty also they wanted to change everything.do it yourself.what you earn is yours and your in control.lovely book.
I would totally buy this book for $63+ so beautiful!
I love this! I've been watching since the beginning and I just love your illustration style. It's awesome to see the book come together!
Have you checked out lulu.com for printing? They have hard cover books for pretty reasonable prices plus you can do self publishing on that site as well. ☺
+Tiffany Cox Thanks, and I will check out lulu.
+SketchyTrav Awesome! I'd love to see you publish it, I think it's a great story for all kids :)
pros: its a buetiful hardcover book based on your daughter and creatures
cons: ..........
I don't see whiskers on the rabbit
+SketchyTrav Congrats on your book and your mistakes. I have made quite a lot of them myself. I am self published and an Author of a childrens book and I just want to share how I print my books. I print them through ingramspark. Here is how you can calculate price www.ingramspark.com/resources/tools and the site www.ingramspark.com/.
If you find a cheaper way let me know. The other option is getting a literary agent but I am kind of avoiding one right now because I am just not sure yet about people taking percentages of your own work. I am hesitant.

Are the facial proportions just off a little?
clash of the titans had the owl
now go make a ecchi manga lol
Your being too hard on yourself. Illustrations are fine.
