This is AMAZING!!! I am just beginning my illustration journey and I feel like following along with your process posts are helping me go in prepared, with my eyes wide open. Thank you for sharing!!
oh my gosh, thank you for sharing all of this. I’m sorry about all of the hours, but also… helps to know we’re not alone? It’s so valuable to share, since it really can seem like a book just “happens” (but it definitely does not).
Thanks so much for sharing ALL this! For someone who is early into learning and applying this craft, it is invaluable. Congratulations on the new book. I can’t wait to read it!
Oh, my goodness! That was hard work! As somebody who's on the second stage... I think I'm gonna buy some tea, and cry a bit. Really glad for you. I love Olive! Hope the book is published on this side of the pond!
Oh my gosh, Lian!! This must’ve taken SO MUCH perseverance and commitment to keep going. I’m amazed. 🤯 You’ve truly created a masterpiece. 💞 Thank you for inviting us into this journey! We have the easiest part—peeking at the hours and hours of work you put forth. Phew! Congrats! 🎉
Thank you for posting this process post about the book dummy! Very interesting and educational, lots of good for thought! Also I love the various test you did to figure out the style 🌻💗

Oh WOW!!! Congratulations on the book it looks fantastic!!
It’s so good to see all the background ‘unseen’ work out in the daylight - those tracked hours!
WHAT A RIDE!
And *chef's kiss* to that interactive Olive element.
You cried rivers of blood so Olive could run 🫡💅
It’s a crazy, stressed and incredible journey to bring Olive into this world!
It’s so amazing and thank you for sharing this, all the hard work has finally paid off

I think its wonderful that when you finish typing your newsletter, you sit back and go “ Oh no! I accidentally made a book!”
This newsletter is so well detailed and wonderful, love it!
❤️ your behind the scenes and sketchbook pages.
It's interesting to see how your brain works when developing your book!
Thanks for sharing your process and all the hard work you put into it!
