''Because...adults don't like fun I guess''

I laughed so hard 😂

This came at the absolute perfect time for me! 😍 I would LOVE to start my career in children’s book illustrations, but I’m still figuring out my niche

thank you anoosha!! i’ve been binging your vids because i’ve actually been considering getting into picture book illustration but it feels so intimidating!

This is an amazing series and really needed this because I've always wanted to be an illustrator for books. Mostly book covers, and this gave me so much information I can't wait to see more of this series. Thank you so much, I am curious about how freelance illustrators get these jobs because I've tried looking for publishers but most of them only hire illustrators from their country. I've tried looking for publishers in my country but so far I can't find them. 😔

I love this so much~ I watched all your video's so far and they are truely inspiring. I'm transitioning from Game/concept art to Children's book illustration since it feels more intuative to me. Everything is new, and your video's are so clear and well written. Can't wait to learn from, and watch the other video's comming up!
