forever grateful for your openness and willingness to share your knowledge and process. getting to know how you made "Lost Stick" and your ups and downs with the process so far was SO fun, especially knowing how amazing it turned out! Definitely picking up a copy; can't wait for your next video!

Omg YES please make a video about photographing your artwork at home vs hiring a professional to do a super good high res photo, cause I have a lot of canvases and traditional drawings but I feel I can never achieve the colours and deepness of the og artwork, not even with Photoshop😭😭😭😭😭

@AnooshaSyed 5 ай бұрын

To sum up, I photograph my own pieces now! I feel like I have a lot more control that way, and I’ve been trying to watch tutorials on YT to guide me through it 😅

I just got your book in the mail last night and just have to tell you that my daughter LOVES it. I have read it to her three times already this morning and she keeps asking to continue reading it again. After watching this video, i did the pre-order to support you because seeing all your efforts really impressed me and it truly shows off in your book. Love it, and thanks for the video ❤

The difference between the scanned and photographed versions of your collage covers was wild! Thank you for the tip of an angled light source ~ I think that's something I'm going to play with for documenting my more textured paintings.

I’m not 100% sure! I think it might be available in some bookstores; doing a quick google search it seems to be available in some of the major stores in UK, Germany and France at least so you might be able to! The preorder link from BuyOlympia also offers international shipping!

Absolutely amazing ! Thank you so much for making this video , it was so informative and inspiring :) I was afraid of what working as a children's book illustrator could look like after graduating, but you explained the process in so much detail it cleared so many things up for me. Really helped me understand how working within the industry looks - thank you

Hi Anoosha, your videos are so valuable and I enjoy listening to you. Since you’re using Procreate, I wanted to know what colour profile do you use for your illustrations? I heard publishers want CYMK but there are so many CYMK options in Procreate. Which option do you use?

Hello Thank you for this video, adding the timeline is so helpful to better understand how the process was for this book. You mentioned that you will be making a separate video about the full process, from writing to the final version of the book, I do have a couple of questions. 1) For this book you had nearly 20 concept sketches for the cover, but of course you didn’t know this beforehand, how did you manage the number of concept sketches? Was there a number of concept sketches included in the original contract? Did you exceed this number? Was there a separate compensation for any ‘extra’ concept sketches? 2) Traditional art vs digital art, did you notice any resistance to the use of traditional art instead of digital art from the publishers? Perhaps since you were the author in this case you had more of a ‘say’ in the decision, but between this book and the other books you have done since, what is the response from publishers and authors to the collage mix traditional art style? Thank you :)
