Illustration process for children's book - Watercolor

Illustration for children's book cover.

[@scorpio11bw]

A fantastic picture. Im looking to start working on my first childrens book.. water color looks like a great way to do pictures.

[@mattcoatesart]

Such a great illustration and I love your technic of adding a blue wash before the colour, such a great idea! Thanks!

[@w0mblemania]

Beautiful work! Freehanding those ellipses was super-brave!

[@xandecriskim]

Demais sua arte Adilson, me inspirou a pintar mais!

I like children books illustration, wish i could be a professional illustrator like u💗

[@24stepsartanddesign66]

Brilliant. I really get the feeling of a busy, adventurous afternoon. Love watching you illustrate; watercolours don't behave nearly as well for me! Xx

[@christierella]

24StepsArtandDesign maybe the paper you're using.

Thanks for sharing! I started watercolor this year and was thinking about working toward the goal of illustrating for children's books!

[@KhasisLieb]

Super super cool piece ! Very nice

[@luigicasiean373]

Fantastic! You are good! Very good! i wish you all the best!

[@fishingalot247]

Very talented. Do you recommend any books for beginners?

[@grandma.p]

Wouldn't you have to do many pages at the same time? How could you mix the colors the exact same way more than once?

[@adilsonfarias]

Hello! With the practice and knowledge of the colors it is not difficult to get the same colors if the case is many characters repeated in a book. a tip, always test beforehand on a paper before painting in the illustration.

Ficou a coisa mais linda. Parabéns ♥️

Valeu, cara!

[@kjghdsnvc]

Amazing illustration 👍🏻✨

[@tarahall1025]

Thank you for sharing! If you are painting a full bleed image- do you increase your image size?

[@irynakrylo7097]

Awesome! I love it!!!!!!

[@xandecriskim]

Você já tentou o Krita? è gratuito tem uns brushes parecido com aquarela. Mas ver vc fazendo na tinta é demais!!!!

[@everettdegrasse8478]

Love it!!

[@WOMENRGODS]

the details are immaculate. how do you get them from this to being in a book? are they just scanned?

[@adilsonfarias]

Yes, it is then scanned and sent to the art editor.

[@deepernihil3234]

Muito lindo, super fofo, já quero o livro pro meu filho :D

[@vandaromao7905]

Parabéns o seu trabalho é para lá de magnifico... Obrigada pela partilha.

[@alestizartchallenge7424]

Adorable ❤️❤️❤️

[@ellenripley4837]

Do you plan your colors ahead or you just pick them right there when you are painting?

[@joaoaugustosa5942]

Muito lindo amigo, parabéns!!!

[@lonironi3754]

I'm planning my book Illustrations right now. First time for me. What paper would you recommend?

[@Mama-Mango]

Adilson, what do you use to print your outline? I’m painting first then drawing, but looking for waterproof outlines. HELP??

[@ellea1449]

Hi have you had an answer for this? I'm also having difficulty with bleeding outlines.

[@MichaelKensinger]

Great work. I've always had better luck with the Faber Castelle pens over micron. I feel like the tip of my microns break down faster on the watercolor paper. :) Anyway, great work. (P.S. - I kind of liked her hair purple!)

[@ssklu]

Amazing artwork! Can't wait to see your next video!

[@caligolem]

Thanks for this video. How do you do the first drawing ? Brown Ink ? Pencil ? Thanks ✌️

[@ilustradorahelenaseguraale3791]

Great!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍

[@catherinebocara6910]

why is it necessary to start with a blue base ?

[@debzdoyle7638]

Perfection xxxxx

[@celineeechia]

May i ask what paint, brush and paper you are using in this illustration?

[@traditionalart1144]

I think your awesome! can you tell me what paper is better for illustrating a book hot press or cold press?

[@adilsonfarias]

thank you! I prefer the fine grain 100% cotton paper. satinato is more difficult to work with

[@artof2891]

❤️

😍

[@madhuripadaya2241]

This is wet on wet technique or you are directly using wet paint on dry paper?

[@Lsouverain]

Are you design the back cover separately?

[@josemipanzurrino]

Me ha encantado el vídeo punto te importaría dejar la lista de materiales que has empleado en este en esta ilustración por favor.

[@jeannettemartin2314]

Super great illustration. I like your Stile. Which watercolor do you use?

[@adilsonfarias]

Thank you! I use Winsor & Newton. Héritage 100% Cotton Paper

[@sashabudhaiart1186]

Hi.. What paper u use in this video

[@marjorielovett332]

¡Es hermosa! 😍

[@joshlabindustries]

You have such a beautiful painting! May I ask for those portion you need to mix/bend the colors, do you have to wait for it to dry?

[@JoseCarlos-uc7tw]

Muito bom! 👏🏽👏🏽

[@bettygrant8120]

Hot or cold ŵatercolor paper..that is my question.

[@JasonTCampbell]

Hi I wanted to ask what medium the initial line drawing was, is that ink or graphite pencil? Thanks for sharing.

[@sadepennbrook]

What paper are you on?

[@eggasmonster101]

Why do you wet the whole page before use? Is there a reason? :) thanks!

[@storytimereadaloudwithjanessa]

bravo !

[@Edilma51]

Maravilhoso!!

[@adilsonfarias]

Obrigado!

[@aine4400]

amazing :) ! you are very talented - that blending ... mind me asking ... what is the watercolor brush you use at the beginning ?

[@adilsonfarias]

Thank you! The brush I use is from Art Secret Nº 0 - Squirrel hair

[@manasraut2172]

Hey, I tried your colouring style on a fabriano paper, but the colours are blotting, even after I applied water and dried the paper with a hair drier. How to fix that?

[@وصفاتطبيعيةلجمالك-ق5ه]

J'adore 🥰

[@nelsonyiap81]

Beautiful

[@lengocanh.designer]

Thú vị

[@rociocruz2786]

Wonderful!

[@SaranPilates]

Lovely! Before applying color to the illustration, did you brush water on the whole paper? I'm a watercolor beginner, and was wondering what that was. Thanks

[@adilsonfarias]

Yes, Before applying the color I prepare the watering paper before.

[@JessyPebble]

This one is amazing! Loved to see the process. I have one question: how do you digitallize this beautiful work?

[@bossbabypaints]

scan it and then edit in photoshop

[@samirahoseini5733]

Great

[@xtine416]

I'm not an artist but was wondering where I can get illustrations for my children's book

[@bonnienewell4040]

I think normaly you submit a manuscript and if its accepted the publisher would connect you with an illustrator. I believe they let you pick from different styles but it might depend on the publisher. Some submission rules also ask only for the manuscript without any illisration. Meaning in some cases having your book submitted with illustrations could actually hurt your chances of being published. You should check your target publishers submission rules on their webpage before finding getting illustrations done independently. If you decide to illustrate before submitting I google and compare diffrent artists websites they should have samples of their work and contact info on their websites.

[@wendymallas4755]

This is wonderful. What did you use to create the line art in the beginning? It works brilliantly. xx

[@yourbananamilk]

I think fine liners

[@maga.nascimento2021]

😍💕

[@caninachristi2800]

i want to ask. why you make that blue shadow at first when you gonna cover it with another collor instead? (im new to watercolor so i need to learn from thisss) love your art!!!!!

[@caninachristi2800]

@@nimmahdawilah aahh i see, if that makes it look harmonious, can i use another collor rather than blue? maybe red? to make it looks warmer.

What is that music? Its amazing

[@pewpewcat7679]

Haha I was bumping around to it as well and started laughing when I caught myself. I usually don't like speed paint videos with fast/loud-ish music in them because it just annoys the crap out of me but somehow this was really animating 😆

[@zaviherawan]

Can I ask what supplies do you use?
