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 KZbin 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.

Thank you so much! The reason I stopped uploading is because I moved away from illustrating for children and publishing in 2017 and apprenticed as both a silversmith and tattooer. I still design, only different things! I wish platforms didn’t want us to specialize in the way we present ourselves as I’m still very much in the creative field (I own a tattoo studio and was featured in Metalsmiths of North America magazine in just the last few years) but not sure how I could make a channel that’s about ALL of that while still providing value. I’m glad you found this video useful - when I made it it got barely enough even views for the first few years then it bizarrely took off long after I’d dropped this as my main work 😅

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.

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.

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!

Even if this was the case - the other half is valuable information for free. Skip the stuff that doesn't interest you, instead of insulting the person who gave you the information in the first place. This is ungrateful, entitled, and overall a display of awful character. You might want to work on that.
