I think Jackson’s Hot Press is actually a great dupe to Arches Hot Press at a fraction of the price. The sheets on a block are a steal and the sheet being on a block helps prevent warping-which I don’t think you’d have an issue with. Love your content!
@@AnooshaSyedI’m in America, so I can only speak to that but their shipping prices seem very comparable to dickblick. Love the channel by the way, has been super helpful in my journey as an artist
I love the character design and the colours. I am a traditional artist and illustrator and when I see you doing your work I am inspiring to finish my children book. Thanks to share ❤😊
Hi Anoosha, Your videos are great. It helps a lot. Thank you so much for sharing. I have a lot of manuscripts ready but i don’t know how my dummy should be prepared on procreate. How should i know the size of the pages and etc. as i don’t know which publisher i am going with? Can you please make a video on how to make a dummy in procreate step by step? As dummy should be made before getting an agent or submitting, what features or requirements a dummy must have in terms of size of the pages, etc.? What if I make a dummy that I like with the features that I like but the agent or the publisher want to, for example change the size of the page? Sorry for the ling message and thank you once again.
Thank you! I might try to make a dummy video in the future but it might take some time. I have a video called 'how I got my picturebook deal' which I think should answer a lot of your questions!
Hi Anoosha, thank you for sharing this process! I always wonder: how long did the client (publishing house, etc) allow you to have this experimental /pre-production phase? What's normal? because sometimes I have seen clients that ask you to finish something in a month, and is like... no way! did you do this kind of job at the very beginning of your career?
Hi Nicole! I had about a year to work on all the illustrations for this book (sketching, thumbnails, color roughs, finals etc), and the last six months to work on the final art. Although because I was working on another project at the same time I did have to juggle my time between them. I had a very flexible schedule; I was given a deadline for when I should deliver the final art, but I could manage my time however I wanted and gave myself time for development. However! This was definitely not the case for my earlier books haha. Back then I would have three months max to finish a whole book and so never had time to explore or properly devote the proper time to illustrate. I am thankful that I am working with better publishers now who give me an adequate schedule to work with!
Hi Annosha. I’m a new subscriber and interested in making children’s books. What would be a good way to practice making children’s books? Like if you were to give a sample to a teacher or a librarian to show them this is what you can offer.
@@AnooshaSyed Okay then. I did finished watching it and my goals in terms of becoming an illustrator and author is making books mostly graphic novels for 6-12 and 13-18 to be used as a tool for therapists and to bring awareness to my culture, which is Haitian culture. Would you say having a separate portfolio would be better or not?
Rebecca Green! In editing the video I must have cut it out; I was subscribed to illustartor Rebecca Green's Patreon and she had a bunch of tips on gouache that I was inspired by.

Oh interesting! I haven’t heard of them before. It looks like they are UK based? I’ll have to see what the shipping costs are like! :)

I would reccomend watching my video on children’s book portfolios!
@@AnooshaSyed Would that be 9 things needed for picture book portfolio? That video?
@@talimediaartyes that’s right!
