A character design I'll be working on for some portfolio concepts. ✨

❄️🎄 Enid and the Penguin: 'A friendship that warms the heart, even in the coldest winter.' May this season be filled with peace, love, and unforgettable moments for you and your loved ones. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! ✨ #ChildrensBooks #KidLitArt #ChristmasIllustration #WinterMagic

#ArtvsArtist2024 2024 had its challenges, but also learning and small projects that filled my heart. 💕 Thank you for supporting my work! Here’s to more creativity in 2025. 🎨✨

Portrait ✍️✨ I’m experimenting with textures 🎨 and wanted to try something special for an amazing friend 🩺. What do you think of this style? 🤔✨

Currently, I'm updating my portfolio as I'm exploring a shift in my illustration style. For this reason, the link to my portfolio has temporarily changed to: mspaoglz9.wixsite.com/my-site. Thank you for your understanding as I work through this new stage!

Testing out some new character designs. Still in the sketch phase, but I can already see it coming to life. What do you think so far? 🔍 #CharacterDesign #Sketching

Trying out a new style! ✍🏻 Still need to refine some details, but I love how it's coming along. What do you think so far? #sketch #kidlitart

Even without knowing what my illustrations might need to catch an agency's or client's attention, the rejections keep coming. What do you think? Any advice on how to improve and make it happen?🤔

✨🖤 My take on the #DTYIS for #EscolaDeBruxinhas! 🖤✨ Here’s my interpretation of this charming little witch and her magical cat. Had so much fun working on the details for both characters! 🌙🐈‍⬛✨ #WitchyArt #IllustrationArtists #FantasyIllustration #MexicanArtist #HalloweenArt #SpookySeason #DigitalArt

Here's the prompts for #folktaleweek2024! #folktaleweek #kidlit #kidlitart

Which of these rejection styles have I gotten from agencies? (Check the options in the comments)

We’re considering going ahead with a picture book pitch event in a few weeks, on Wednesday 10/23 - I hope everyone can craft a good pitch by then! More info at boringstorybook.com/skypitch #skypitch #kidlit #picturebooks

Kidlit Illustrators, you don’t need a huge social following. I hire illustrators who don’t have huge followings all the time. You just need strong work. If you’re trying to decide between spending time practicing or posting, I’d recommend practicing. 💙❤️

Another agencies rejection, who's counting anymore? At least I can say I'm an expert now! Still on the hunt for an agency and work as an illustrator, because giving up isn't on the menu. Plus, matcha isn't going to pay for itself!💚🍵
