Hello, people from Posia!
So big, big, news, I have created my first-ever children's book! Well as in illustrating it. Someone that knows my sister asked her to do it and I got a little jealous of it, but then she asked me to do it for she was too busy and I was so excited!
The author told me the deadline and said he likes my work, and it was so easy peasy! Usually, when you have to work for others they want a certain way, and it can be so frustrating, but this guy was so chill and seem to like the work that he asked me to do another one!
I would have talked about this children's book sooner but I was afraid for I wasn't sure if I was allowed to or something, but he sent me copies of the book and I was overly thrilled! For this is the first time ever has one of my creations been published. And I'm doing another one for him, he asked me to do another book, and that I jumped right into it already.
I have no idea where you can get this book...I already had a few people ask me where they can buy and I have no idea. It's not on amazon, when I asked the Author he just asked to email him for more copies so...I'm sorry I got nothing. But it is so exciting to me, I'll share a few pictures from it.
This children's book is mainly about how things are, it doesn't really have a plot or a story, it just random stuff that maybe kids notice or something. Like the tree, the boy says "I like the color blue," the darkroom with a yellow light was just, "Light shines in Darkrooms," or something like that. The author just asked me to be creative on each page of the book and I tried to be but there were a few pages where I wasn't so sure what to do.
It is really exciting to me that I have accomplished something like this and doing another one for him, I do want to continue on doing something like this for the rest of my life for I like it too much! Getting paid to do children's books or even doing my own books I can be living the dream.
A little update of Sweet and Sour, I am still working on it being edited. I got another person I know to edit for me but they are taking their time on it, which is fine I don't have a deadline on it, but as soon as they get it edited then will I figure out a way to publish it. I might have figured out some way to do it through Amazon but we will see if it work.
If you don't know Sweet or Sour, you can read it here.
It took me two years to finish the first book of Sweet and Sour, and now that I'm working on the second book, I'm on page 98 and it has taken me a year to do it this far. Oh boy, if I want to make like a hundred books then I have to pick up the pace.
I have said also in my past posts that I was only going to do two books of sweet and sour, for it was just meant to be a short story, but I feel like two books are too short, so I am making three.
Here's a little bit of Sweet and Sour 2
I do have to say that the second book is more intense to draw or read, for something big happens and it is a matter of "what will they do to fix it," kind of thing. It has a great message about the agency and why we need it. This book is good and happy with how I am doing it, but I am also ready to do my other books as well.
I have mentioned before how I can't focus on one book for too long, whenever I draw one book I always need some kind of break from it. I don't know why that is but it just is, so I have started other books.
Now maybe in my next post, I'll explain more about it, but I just did the cover page for the book already and I absolutely love it! What do you think?
