How to design a kid's novel with illustrations

[@pictureel5863]

I love your real world creative process. Looking forward to more!!

Ah, HA!! This is the exact thing I'm stuck on with the next project! I was almost ready to let it go and push the book to next year so I could clear my head and research a better way to format with Publisher...but this one video cleared everything up. Holy cow! I foresee getting this process straight in my head, buying a Tour Box, and using it to store the various keystrokes to make formatting automatic. Thanks so much, Shoo! Literally, this issue nearly waylaid all upcoming projects. (I would typically farm technical stuff out to more-intelligent people--namely, my wife and my son lol--but they are both in the last three weeks of the schoolyear, and both have put enormous "DO NOT DISTURB" signs on their doors.)

Yay 0- got for it and put a do not disturb sign on your door too! 😆

I can’t wait for the second part of Generation Moon 🌙❤️⭐️ Fantastic video! Please keep teaching how to work in Affinity, so interesting to see all the work involved in your process.

Thanks for sharing your process with us! Always a delight to see a new video notification from you.

Thank you! Tons of fun to watch you sort through your ideas and arrange things. It's also really nice to get a small peak at the software since I'll probably need to use it in the future.

You adopted pretty fast to Affinity. My big resect.

[@shooraynerdrawing]

Thank you! It is almost the same but then there are head scratching roadblocks that have to be worked out - then the new methods have to be remembered and habitualised - No one said it would be easy! lol

[@mike_qbik]

@@shooraynerdrawing You are the star, Shoo ;-)

[@skypilgrim]

Affinity suite is so nice. I hope they stay good after the Canva purchase.

[@shooraynerdrawing]

Do you know, I was just wondering what size you draw your drawings. Or if you drew them first and then scan them in and made them whatever size they needed to be. Very interesting! Thank you.
