Meet Your Teacher:

People always told me that I should illustrate picture books, but I was afraid of failing and didn’t know where to start. It wasn’t until having kids and reading 100’s of picture books that a fire was lit inside me to create the same book-joy that I felt when reading with my kids.

I want to show you how you can begin your picture book journey to feel the same joy and fulfillment that I’ve received. Gather your supplies, and let’s begin on this wonderful journey into the world of picture books!

  • Thank you, Mirka, for sharing your process and tips along the way. It's always inspiring and I learn so much from other artist's approach and behind-the-scenes. The digital brushes in the resources are also pretty neat:)
