Draw, draw, draw

I’m working to deadline on a new book…. well, 2 new books.
I’m working on one book that is all my designs (+30 of them). I am also working on a group effort. It’s the 2nd book that a group of designers that I are self-publishing.
We’ve just released our first one- The Belt Book
and now we’re going full throttle on our second one.
Will let you know when we release it.
This week, I’ve been working really hard on drawings and illustrations for the books. I do all my illustrations by hand. Some people cleverly know how to do their illustrations on the computer. I don’t.
And, I love the process of putting hand to paper and making the drawings and working on polishing them. It’s a very gratifying experience. It’s slow, and meticulous work and a real pleasure!
There’s sooooooooo much that goes into creating a book.
When I walk into a library or book store, I am filled with awe. I think about how hard I work on my books, and then I multiply that by the millions of books out there. It’s phenomenal to think of all that effort! Astonishing!
Give your favorite book a hug! Someone worked sooooooooo hard to make it happen for you!
