Hello. Thank goodness found your channel. Helpful!
Can you please tell me when you do digital art for children’s book illustration, how many dpi and do you use rgb/srgb or cymk? Is it rgb as a digital file then before printing it turn it to cymk? I use procreate.. is it better to use 350dpi?
just started illustrating so i am quite clueless😅thanks in advance
would love this book to read to my kids ….and myself. my name is Alizee and been miscalled all along my school time! thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
What a beautiful name!! 😍
found you from facebook thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I watched the previous video about your book deal where you mention buying the preorder. The link is not in that description.
Thanks for the heads up! Just added it now :)
hi annosha how do you consistently draw characters on every page of the book? sometimes the characters on the first page are not the same as the next page, the first page has beautiful characters while the next one is very ugly
I really look forward to your answer, because I'm studying to be an illustrator
I actually talk a little bit o]about consistency in this video, just skip to 31:40 :) czcams.com/video/b7oCBp9txoE/video.html
@@AnooshaSyed okay, thanks anoosha
Do you create all your illustrations on procreate ?
All of my digital work, yes!
They call me hel, they call me Stacy they call me her, they call me, Jane. That’s not my name.
Anoosha, as a big fan of your work who doesn't live in an English-speaking country, I have to ask: do you think there could be translations? I really wish my baby brother could enjoy this book... Do you know how translating your work would go? Thanks for all your help and hard work, I'll make sure to become a patreon as soon as I secure a stable source of income.
Hi! Which country do you live in? I know that if a book has a lot of success, publishers in other countries will ask for the rights to translate it. My book Kid Scientists is the only one I’m aware of that was able to get translations (in Greek and Hebrew). It’s not something I have control over, but really hope that the book becomes popular enough to get translated editions! And thank you for your kind words :)
@@AnooshaSyed I live in France! I figured since you're in Canada, maybe a French translation might be easier to get since so many people speak French there, correct?
@@millartiste2d Oh definitely! The book is being published in the US not Canada, but if it were to be translated into any languages I would for sure think that Spanish and French would be most likely!
@@AnooshaSyed that's wonderful to hear. I'll keep an eye out for that! My brother has an extremely Italian name, the kind that gets people to have a double-take, and your book would be perfect for him. It's such a sweet idea that's incredibly relatable for many kids across the world. Go you!!
are your eyes illustrated too?
to me, these are beautifully done
