Thank you for watching, I hope you found this interesting and helpful! Do you dream of illustrating children's books, and what is the perfect project you would love to get? Comment below and let me know!

[@azakiahofficial7852]

Do you take on self published work!?

[@ArtBusinesswithNess]

@@azakiahofficial7852 I do sometimes! In fact I'm working o a self-published book right now :) It all depends on if the project is interesting, if I'm available and if the client and I can reach an agreement on the terms and rate. Whether it's published professional or directly by the author isn't important to me :)

[@yasaamoin4882]

Retelling myths and folktales for children could be fun.

[@vlatkabutkovic431]

Hi, thank you for a wonderful video. I am in the process of illustrating my stories for children and this is exactly what I needed. I plan to self-publish, should be a cycle of 5 separate stories/children’s books. Your clear steps are bringing structure, because I feel like I am thinking about everything at the same time and it gets overwhelming.

[@tonyjackson3270]

This video has helped my processes so far as a beginner author thank you for taking the time out of your life show and share very detailed information.

[@sr7046]

It's nice to see somone actually plan out drawings and stuff. All the other "How to videos" show people making low content books on canvas, sticking together any drawing that are already free to publish a low quality book in under a day. This video is super professional. Thank you for sharing.

[@ArtBusinesswithNess]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! This is how illustrators work :) Hustlers - not so much!

[@celticrose2]

Yes I want to make my own art. I want to know how to put it in the book.

[@AmbroseReed]

Beautiful work! I'm in the middle of my first children's book project right now, and I wish I'd found this video earlier to have a better sense of the process lol

[@ArtBusinesswithNess]

That's wonderful, congratulations Ambrose!

[@christins.1481]

Hi, so how is your book going now?

[@AmbroseReed]

@@christins.1481 Hi, it got released, but there were a lot of things I would have done differently. It was a partnership with a daycare that writes songs collaboratively with the kids, and we made one of the songs into a storybook. There are some cute sections, but it could be a lot stronger with the knowledge I have now

[@anastasiabatyr8325]

Good luck! Let us know how it goes

[@katysuemarfil2148]

Gotta start somewhere, right? May you enjoy many more projects!

[@saschaaaaaai]

my dream project is a picture book that helps kids in the hospital, not only as distraction but also learning about being ill

[@ArtBusinesswithNess]

What a wonderful, lovely idea! You should absolutely do it!!

[@lexislittlenook2861]

I love the process of children's books, it's a lot of work but a lot of fun. I'm a self-published children's author/illustrator and am still figuring things out. The market is filled with so many great illustrators too! You're very talented :)

[@ArtBusinesswithNess]

Thank you Lexi! Indeed books are such fun projects! Congrats on self-publishing your own, that's amazing!!

[@davebrittain9216]

When my kids were growing up I created an entire story of a farm mouse and his friends that I would love to illustrate. I also have a story of a wee little princess and her adventures. I would love to see it in finished form for my grand kids. Thanks for the video Ness, it was the first video I have looked at to learn so far.

[@ArtBusinesswithNess]

That sounds super charming and would make a great book!

[@plipla5777]

I work at a german publisher as an editor and it is so interesting, we ALWAYS do the cover first with our illustrators. We need a lot of people to give their opinion on it and it so important, you just need most of the time for the cover.

[@ArtBusinesswithNess]

That makes sense!
