This time, I did things a bit differently; I drew the characters before even having a story in mind. But as I was drawing, an idea sparked for Iris and Marcelo. The story is still in development, but I wanted to work on this personal piece now, since I'm about to start a new project soon...🤫 #kidlit

Rejections are a tough but inevitable part of the kidlit journey. Over the years, I’ve learned to see them not as a wall, but as a learning opportunity. Here is what this path has taught me so far... 🧵 #kidlit #kidlitart #illustration

The first rejections of the year are here! Although it's tough, it doesn't sting the way it did during my first years. I’m staying optimistic and keeping my sense of humor!😅 I always want to keep growing, so I have a question for you: What is your best advice to polish a kidlit portfolio?💖 #kidlit

I was drawing my postcard for tomorrow, but it suddenly started to rain heavily, so I had to stop.🙈 I hope to continue when it stops, but honestly, there's a high chance I'm just going to fall asleep.🙃
