Are these illustrations created on computer or painted by hand ?

Hi, Lisa, thank you so much for your video and for sharing your thoughts and eloquence with us. I've just started to learn about children's book illustration. Your video is the first and only one among all the videos I watched on CZcams that summarizes clearly and well what makes a good design/illustration for children's books. It looks like you aren't uploading videos anymore. But I really wish to hear more about your creative process and thoughts on artwork.

I love the casual, freestyle way you engage with your audience. Very pleasant to listen to and you obviously have a lot of great advice to share. Thank you!

This was so helpful, thank you.

Lisa, thank you so much for sharing your fascinating process! Your illustrations are poetic and dreamy. Wishing you all the best. You are so talented.

Such a great video, loved your process and all intentionality behind all of your choices. Very inspiring ❤

What illustration program are you using?

Simply wonderful. Every illustrator and art director and self-publisher should watch this video and learn.

This was so good and full of amazing in depth tips you aren’t going to find anywhere else. I’ve never read this story and I’m listening while I drive and you almost made me start crying when you described how you used the grandmothers starry scarf to carry through the end of the story! Amazing details! This shows how children’s books can really be elevated to a higher level of art and aren’t just simple little stories for children.

Very well put! Thank you for pointing out all the little nuances that touch us without us realizing exactly what they are, or what the thought process is that goes into making them. Very, very helpful! Linda

This is such an awesome video. About to start my first children’s book illustration job and this has helped me so much.

nice, your style of illustrating depicts you a a painter, plz upload your technique and approach to illustration and why you kind of treat it like a painters who builds undertones and layering of pigment

What wonderful insights you shared, and I LOVE your illustrations! Thank you🤗

Is this book available in English or Spanish?

sounds like such a beautiful story, I wish I could read it! The way you've handled its illustrations is seriously admirable. I love the artstyle you went with

Thank you for sharing your vast expertise! Great video

This is really lovely! I really appreciate the way you explained your thought processes.

Thank you for this video! You explained your reasons and thoughts so well. I appreciate your perspective!!

I love the scarf detail, that was my favorite part. Such a beautiful detail. The book, the art, hidden details in the city and timelapses are great. The video as a whole was very informative and fun to watch. Thank you for this!

very good

The way you captured the kitty's little dreamy face made me smile 🥰 love the colours in this piece 😍 💕

I can only say you are AMAZING 👏 Love how you captured the emotions through out the book with your paintings. 🤩😍❤

it's really nice to see the spark in your eyes while you're telling the story behind your art. this is the best tutorial i've seen. thank u a lot.

Hi Liza, I absolutely love your book, where would I be able to get a copy? Is there an English version? I am teacher and I think it would be a beautiful addition to my book collection.

Wow. I mean . . . just . . . wow! This was like a mini Master Class in illustration. You have such a smart process/way of thinking about the totality of the book and the reader. All the things you spoke about here are what sets certain books above the crowded marketplace. It's so much more than drawing illustrations. You give it such depth with your thoughtful approach. The part about the over- development of Malta and loss of history and culture, alongside the loss of the elderly woman in the book is heartbreaking and beautiful. Your illustrations highlighting that were eloquent. Thanks so much for this video.

Really enjoyed the depth you went to on this video. It's informative but very clear 🙌

What a lovely book and explanation of your process. I loved this video, thank you for sharing!!

Wow! Im so impressed! I love your work, and thank you so much for sharing your thoughts processes, and techniques. Very inspiring!

I just found this and it made me feel so much better about not wanting to hang out with everyone because it's so energetically draining <3

You are amazing... Thank you for sharing your amazing mind and why you did what you did... You are truly an inspiration and an amazing teacher and storyteller

Electric cat shoukd have a story..lol

Very nice. I used to love illustrations in the war of the worlds, when I read it in childhood. Although I didn’t get traumatized by the end, many stories had not such nice influence. Some stories are pure dramas, so it’s nice of you to create a soft ending illustration!

Omg this is amazing. I am speechless ✨✨✨

hermoso!!!☺

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and your inspirations for these illustrations. Your sensitivity to the child's view of this heavy topic really adds a hopeful dimension to the melancholic story. This remembers me why illustrating - especially for kids - is really an art of its own.

I love cats. ❤️ your illustrations are beautiful

What a fascinating video. Thank you for sharing your art and your process!

I LOVED this video discussion ! Such intelligent insights and wonderfully practical lessons . THIS is what I've been looking for ! Thank you so much! I hope I can illustrate as beautifully and intelligently my own books very soon.

Goshhhh, this was so dope😳❤. I wish I had a wide imagination like yours

Such a beautiful work!! Definitely subscribing to your channel and keeping me tune with your work :)

such good points. really made me think about some things i wanna change in the concept i made for the first book i´m illustrating......

Such great insight-thank you! :) Is that book available in English, by any chance? It's beautiful; both the story and illustrations😻💖

You're very skilled, talented, and knowledgeable. I love all of the illustrations, some of my favorites being the cat top-down view, the cover, and of the grandpa mourning.

Your work is beautiful! I very much enjoyed watching the 16 minute version of 18 hours of work. It gave me a few ideas on the techniques I should practice and apply to the pieces I make. Thank you for sharing. For this 18 hours of work you could chop up the video to make about 10 tutorials!

Half of the video is time wasting . bullshit .

I was expecting to see about the formatting and tips about size and drawing. But you are giving off the best -I mean the important- ones Thank you very much for that ✨✨✨

You have really the best advices about illustrating a children's book. And believe me, I've been long looking into several videos.

I just really love this and the story on your illustrated picture book was just really beautiful... it made me tear up. I admire your attention to detail so much. 💖 I am illustrating my first children's picture book so it's very exciting to apply what I have learned from your video! Thank you!
