It’s so wonderful to hear that artists are enjoying Art Gym! Thank you for sharing @yveskervoelen.bsky.social !!😊

Hey #kidlit illustrators, I'm looking for an artist who can capture apartment-life in an urban setting for a beginning reader series with a vibrant ensemble cast and a grayscale interior. Respond here with images and a link to your folio. Please no DMs. Agents are welcome to email. πŸ’™β€οΈ

#artvsartist Dogs, florals, and lots of gouache really sum up the year! Top: πŸ“š Illustrating 2 books πŸ…Winning a Minted card competition Middle: 🎨 Illustrating a book with gouache 🐢 A book pitch about dogs Bottom: 🌸 Being a finalist in a print competition πŸ’ Designing my wedding invitations

I draw dogs. Lots of dogs. I’ve drawn so many that I had to write a book for all of them. I’d love to share the full pitch with any agents, art directors, or publishers who have fully illustrated nonfiction for ages 7-10 on their list! 🐢 katiestackillustrates.com #KidLitArtPostcard

Thank you so much KIDLIT411 for the art feature this week! I loved drawing those sunflower pups 🐢 🌻

Happy belated spooky season! πŸ‘» #kidlitart #childrensbookillustration

It’s tough being a spooky ghost πŸ‘» #kidlitart #childrensbooks

These two are a delight to draw. Thanks for the lovely story, Zoe Tucker! #kidlitart #makeartthatsells #spookyseason

Getting to know these two. What emotion/pose should I draw next? πŸ»β€β„οΈ #kidlitart

Whoa, the agency Jacky Winter put together a pretty comprehensive overview of illustration pricing on their new site. The resource list at the bottom is top notch and includes many links that I share with my students. Worth a look! www.jackywinter.com/pricing

Happy #PortfolioDay to all!

My first #kidlitartpostcard here on BlueSky so I’d like to share one of my favorite pieces with you πŸ‰ I’m a Boston based artist who loves drawing cute dogs but also medieval stuff. Agents & art directors - reach out if my style matches anything on your list 🌻 katiestackillustrates.com #kidlitart

Happy October #kidlitartpostcard !!! I hope all art directors and editors will consider me for a fun project, maybe something seasonal?? 🍁πŸ₯° I'm open to picture books, middle grade, games, etc! I'm represented by Taj McCoy at Rees Agency. πŸŽƒ my website: ronnirunyonillustration.com

Time for s’mores πŸ•οΈπŸ”₯🍫 I totally interpreted β€œgrub” differently, oops! I thought of it as food. And SCBWI’s prompt was smoky, so… smoky + food = s’mores πŸ˜‹ With that, the collection of fall + spooky pets continues! #peachtober #scbwiartober

Reminder: Amidst all the drawing challenges out there, it's also #KidLitArtPostcard day this Thursday.

Some simple leaves for todays prompt β€œautumnal.” These will be really useful icons in the pattern I’ll make with all my spooky pets πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸ‘»πŸŽƒ #scbwiartober

Day 2: Mystery & Cosmos πŸˆβ€β¬›βœ¨πŸ‘» Thank you for the wonderful prompts #peachtober and #scbwiartober !

Happy #peachtober and #scbwiartober ! Fur & Bee 🐝 I’m joining these challenges as a way to practice gouache consistently. At the end, all the icons will be used in patterns πŸŽƒ These goals will help keep me focused during this busy challenge month!

Should I make the dog’s face and legs brown too? Maybe it looks like a mask right now? Or perhaps just a brown spot over the eye would do? What do you think?

Ahoy! Next Thursday is #KidLitArtPostcard day. October is always a fun one. Get that art ready #kidlit #kidlitart and read more here: www.ginaperry.com/blog/2021/5/...
