I'm moderating part one of our "picture book dummy I'm moderating part one of our "picture book dummy - a revision tool for kidlit creators." Michael Hale is starting today and I will present the nitty-gritty revision portion next Saturday.  You can still sign up because every attendee will receive a recording of both sessions.
The Picture Book Dummy – A Revision Tool for Kid The Picture Book Dummy – A Revision Tool for KidLit Creators

If you are a picture book writer or illustrator, check out the virtual workshop I will be teaching through SCBWI Arizona in May. Michael Hale and I have taught this program several times before and we are presenting it again due to popular demand. 

The picture book dummy is the template in which you will tell your story. It does not matter if you are a writer or a writer/illustrator, if you want to someday see your work published, knowing how to create a picture book dummy is an essential part of the process. Learn how to create one and how you can use this vital tool to improve your craft.

This program will be presented over two Saturdays. It is geared toward picture book writers and illustrators and is designed to provide craft tools for creators at all levels.

Part 1 – Saturday, May 7, 2022
1:00 pm – 2:30 pm

The Picture Book Dummy for Dummies: The Foundation For Creating Better Picture Books presented by Michael Hale

Part 2 – Saturday, May 14, 2022

Thank you to Amanad Goossen from St Thomas the Apo Thank you to Amanad Goossen from St Thomas the Apostle School for organizing their fantastic Read Across America Author Day. I spent the morning speaking with 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th graders about my art and writing. It felt so good to be at a school again.  What a terrific day!

Welcome to February 2022! One of my goals this yea Welcome to February 2022! One of my goals this year is to post Work In Progress (WIP) videos of each illustration I create this year. I finally have a camera and stand set up so that I can paint away while the camera is recording. These initial uploads are my first attempts. I am certain as I become more familiar with creating and posting videos, they will improve.

Any of you YouTube pros out there, if you have any suggestions or advice, I would love your feedback. Is there a best workflow to stick to? Are there preferred formats that I should be using? Should I add voiceovers explaining my thought process? I appreciate any comments you might have.

My illustrations come together by applying layers over layers, countless layers. I've been reluctant to post my progress videos in the past because it takes a long time for my illos to come together and look the way I want them to. There is a whole lot of ugly during the beginning phases of my creations.

But then I realized, I love watching process videos on YouTube and have learned so much from watching other artists create. I thought, maybe someone can pick up some tricks while watching me as I paint. The dreaded inner critic is rather vocal during these early stages of my paintings.

So, I have learned to trust the process. I have to work through each stage of a painting before the "pretty" part finally makes an appearance.

Happy New Year everyone! The best way to start a Happy New Year everyone! 

The best way to start a brand new year is to participate in Storystorm. The amazing Tara Lazar @taralaser started this as PiBoIdMo years ago and I have participated ever since. THANK YOU, Tara! 

The idea is to come up with 30 new story ideas by the end of January. It sounds daunting but is very doable with all the splendid posts from fellow kidlit creators.

Read the daily post on her blog to quality for prizes, but my reward has always been to 
get energized and get a creative jumpstart for the year. 

Here is the registration link if you want to be eligible to win prizes: https://taralazar.com/2021/12/27/storystorm-2022-registration/#comment-421228

Happy creating to you all.
