Hello Beautiful Bluebells 🌷

To finish off the year I have one more lesson video to share with you!

This one is all about my process for illustrating picture books as a digital artist, from super rough thumbnail sketches all the way to the finished artwork.

I've specifically focused on my favourite book that I've illustrated so far - Worms Are Our Friends written by Toni D'Alia and published by Hardie Grant Children's Publishing.

I think I enjoyed drawing this one so much because it didn't have any people in it and I could focus on drawing flowers and garden scenes instead!🌷🌿

I hope you enjoy this video! You can find the other videos in these playlists:

Amazing video, thank you so much, Mimi! ♥ It's so inspiring and motivating. Your art is incredible. I’ve bought that book, and it’s one of my favorites. Sadly, I couldn’t find it in German or Italian yet to gift to my nephews. It definitely deserves to be seen everywhere—it’s so cute!

It helps me to hear about your process. My ultimate goal with my art is to illustrate one of the picture books I've written. I know little of the art part, so this really helps. Thanks!

A little follow up: I ordered your book and it arrived this week (shipping to the Netherlands took some time lol). It is stunning, Mimi. Both the story and illustrations are reallly beautiful.
