Worked on my book dummy during my livestream tonight. Got some nice tidbits further along than they had been, but of course I still have a very long way to go!

The development process for my book dummy, "Lulu and the Tutu" has straddled different livestreams on YouTube and Twitch. But I finally got around to uploading all the Twitch vids onto YouTube in a playlist so they can be watched in order.

It's not done, but I have to wait for feedback from the mentor Art Director to continue.

On a personal note, it's fun to see what you see. Ahem.

Worked on this one all day. Finishing line work, adding color, cleaning up... Whew!

This is one of two full-color double-page spreads I'm submitting with my practice book dummy to an Art Director for feedback & advice (through my local SCBWI chapter). Not looking to publish, so there's no pressure.

I'll be livestreaming on YouTube, Dec 4th, 1-3:00pm PST (GMT-8) if you're interested in watching someone working on a children's book dummy in Procreate on their iPad. I plan on doing some characters that go into a group shot, then adding some color to that particular double-page spread if I get around to it.

No participation required--lurkers are awesome!

Got more work done on my livestream today for the children's book dummy I'm developing for review through my local SCBWI chapter.

I can't go too far... I can see all the work that needs to be finished, but I can't really go much further as I need to be open to response and critique and advice from the Art Director who will be looking at it. Like, I need less color, not more, as the color may change...

Onward!!!

Still working on my practice picture book dummy. I revised some thumbnails today into things that were a bit more concrete, and my workload suddenly exploded. LOL! Isn't that the way it happens? :)

The good thing is that this isn't a "finished piece"--it's supposed to be a WIP so Art Directors can offer feedback. I need my drawings done, though, so they're in a state to receive that advice...

Here's what I got done today.

Just an FYI--I'm live artstreaming on YouTube on Sunday, November 6th, 1:00-3:00pm PST. I'll be working on a practice book dummy project for an Artist Mentorship I'm doing through my San Diego SCBWI chapter. It's due mid-December, and I have quite a ways to go on it!

I'll be listening to soothing music and sharing my Procreate screen. Come lurk if you'd like! :)
