• This video originally was uploaded on January 30, 2013, to my You Tube Channel and since I have just redesigned my website, I am adding older videos and blog posts to my new blog 🙂

I am very happy to announce that the first book illustrated by me was published in the USA! Yay! 🙂 It is called Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. The author of the poem is Melissa Everitt. The publisher is Flowerpot Press. I made all the artwork. So excited!!!

I talk about in this video:

* How I illustrated my first children’s book
* I show storyboard sketches and talk about how to create storyboard sketches for a children’s book.
* I show my vector illustrations for this picture book and talk about how to create vector illustrations for children’s book in Adobe Illustrator. I share how to illustrate a children’s book in Adobe Illustrator.
* I talk about my experience as a first-time children’s book illustrator.

It is now available for sale on Amazon and on Barns and Noble website and stores.

UPDATE: It has later been released as an Audiobook CD together with the next book I illustrated in 2015: Star Light, Star Bright by the same publisher. Available at Amazon, Barns and Noble, and Target websites. Yay! 🙂
