Hey Jake, 12 Sleighs of christmas is beautiful book! I'm so glad I came across this video. I'm a new illustrator who's just started working on her first childrens book. Your video was so helpful to me, not only did you share the process of the artwork but also the communication back and forth from the publishers. Not many would share that information so for a self taught artist like me that was really informative and valuable. Just wanted to take the time out to say thank you! I really appreciate this video. :)

Jake... You are an inspiration! I have been so lost with my art in recent years, but then I found you. I have always been a keen artist both traditionally and digital in both 2D & 3D, but I NEVER finish anything.... I have stopped and started so many projects that I could not count them. I have just signed up to SVS Learning & WILL, by Christmas 2018, have a children's Christmas book published! Children's books has always been the one thing that I go back to and, after your inspiration, I will achieve the life long dream. Thank you so much !

I wish to say a happy new year too all of you. Thanks Jake Parker for this really informative video because since last year or two. Before I graduated high school. I published my first book on the roosevelt island landmarks coloring book. My art teacher at the time was promoting my first book and many people had loved it! Altho this was a test product. This year Jan 9th my books and projects with this author will be showcased on Roosevelt Island at NYC. But thank you so much Jake for creating a educational video provided for us to learn how to draw, create comics and childrens book. You name it. And I respect you as to being my inspired artist and first person to get me into a world of illustration. I dont know how much I should say about this whole progress on my upcoming books although I wish to thank you for being here in this KZbin community. Jake Parker Banzai!

Jake, I really like the behind the scenes looks at your process/work. I'm wondering what your fee structure might look like on a book like this? How many pages are included in the base fee? Covers? number of revisions included? Added services (was the wrap around cover included in the original fee or was that additional?) Don't need specific numbers. I know that can get weird from a client/contract point, as well as, a personal point. It would be great to see a video from you that talks about getting paid as an artist/creator! Maybe one exists already? With this being a few years old, I'm not sure if you'll see this comment....regardless, Thanks for the great work!

This is terrific! Congratulations on this and much success! Really shows the process well. Could you tell what scanner you use and the resolution you prefer to scan at. Also, do you print the original line sketches at home or at a service bureau? The orange is interesting and I was surprised by that. I've always used non-repro blue (trad sketching) and just kept it the same for digital, as well. How do you avoid orange showing up in the printouts? Thanks for sharing your work, as always. Grateful for that! Cheers! :)
