illustrating a children's book

[@always2walk]

My god, you make it look so easy. You are awesome! I Love drawing and painting and watching you make me very happy. Are you that cheerful all the time? We need more people like you on this planet.Thanks.

This is an adorable picture and concept. Thank you for sharing. Your instruction and encouragement have gotten us going on watercolors. We are a retired couple and I can't tell you how you have brightened our days. Thanks for all the fun.

Im in the process of illustrating a children's book at the moment and I'm finding your videos extremely helpful. Thank you for string your knowledge.

[@DeanRhymes]

Brilliant. Lovely bookmark too 😊

Hello Shoo, I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I think your videos are great. They are very useful! In this particular video I was wondering if you could tell me what is the weight and surface of the water colour paper you use. I really like the smoothness of the paper and how it distributes the paint. Thank you. Looking forward to your next video. cheers, Andrew

[@michllons]

I love your style of drawing it's so unique!

[@nelidagarcia7412]

How cool! You are a joy to watch! You have inspired me.

[@suemcarthur105]

Thank you so much for being so inspiring

[@catpop9]

What papper do you use for the finish? Why do you tape it down? How do you keep it where you want? Is it hard?

[@thomsonairways737]

I see, I understand. Keep the video's as they are I say, I love them.

[@nicegirl2408]

You draw sooo nice

[@nelidagarcia7412]

What can you do if you painted something to dark and it is dry? Do I have to start over?

[@PuppetMaster8707]

I LOOOOVE your shirt with the leaves on it

[@TheIneedtoknow]

That's what you think! I would /definitely/ watch them if you did hour long ones! Maybe you should think about it, even if it's a side series. On a "do nothing day". I dunno. :) Just something to think about.

[@lilishang9]

Thank you for the helpful hints. Best wishes to you and your family. lili

[@skayc1]

you let it bleed!...I wish I knew how to get a contract to illustrate children's books....

[@cyrillchrysos9266]

Lovely shirt!

[@funkyfeem727]

Shoo, would you mind me using this as a base, for a drawing I want to do?, it would really suit my two characters Leo and Kyle haha I can just imagen them sitting together in Leo's posh house, with Kyle being reading his paper while Leo keeps talking on his phone annoying Kyle with is constent use of words such as "ooo I know", "oh he didn't", "oh he did", "omg" and "Its aboulutly fabulous" I show you in a video responce when I've finshed it hehe.

[@OffbeatHomesteader]

This video is lovely! Loved your commentary. Watching this makes me feel like I should start a new profession...lol! I'm watching the movie "Miss Potter" (the story of Beatrix Potter) at the moment, and I'm just a little in love with this romantic picture I have in my head of writing and illustrating a children's book. Hahaha! I'm sure it's not all peaches and cream all the time, though, is it? ;o)

[@OffbeatHomesteader]

Of course it does!!!

[@vaneetachauhan2870]

Awesome work and loved your commentary too :-) Might be a very stupid question but did you draw the page and just scanned it ? Which software did you use to get the text on the page ?

[@magicbuskey]

Nice bookmark!

[@karynsiouxhamon2714]

[@shooraynerdrawing]

You’re welcome 😊

[@busterman14ps3]

What camera do you use?

[@sigma4346]

It that water colour ?..What paper and what pens?

[@amandalockley2392]

great tutorial, thanks

[@BridgetIrving]

Shoo, I have a question about the paper you use. Do you use watercolour paper? also specifically . . do you stretch the paper before you use it? I'm having difficulty with paper shrinkage where I paint - I'm gonna use a little hairdryer now I've seen that . . :D

[@BridgetIrving]

+Shoo Rayner Thank you :)

[@catpop9]

Also how do you keep your papper clean not dotty with black dirt?

[@SphilileLelooow-yj9qx]

Which app you can recommend ....help you to improve you sketching ....l want to illustrate my children's book ...." Free hand" ...

[@shooraynerdrawing]

a pencil is the best app and paper is the best device!

[@Jn052523]

[@COLORPAPERPRINCESS]

lovely!!! :) i subscribed

[@thomsonairways737]

Are you sure you have a time limit for your videos? My videos are rubbish (not related to drawing ot art etc) and probably dont have as many views as you do so I find it strange that youtube would offer me unlimited video time for each video I upload? Anyhow, great video as always, I love watching your artwork develop.

[@slowdownpls]
