Comments on: Illustration Process: 7 Steps to Illustrating Your First Book /2017/illustration-process/ Cartooning Makes Life A Light-Hearted Business!

Hi Kathy!

A process can help you towards a defined goal, if you have one.
Otherwise, drawing as you need to according to the articles you are illustrating, also works well.

In fact, you can kill both birds with one stone by creating an article series and then bundling it into a book. But I am sure you know that already, from working with Henneke Duistermaat 🙂

Thanks for stopping by, it’s always good to hear from you 🙂
Alison

Getting a process in place seems to be my biggest struggle, as I tend to ‘go by feel’. I need to dig in a bit more to establish more of a routine in my drawing. Thanks!

I’ll wait to hear from you.

There’s another blog post “The Lemons to Lemon Meringue Checklist” that you may also find helpful.
Here’s the link: /2017/cartoon-illustration-lemon-meringue/

The article is written by an anonymous mother/father who writes about the things she encounters as being a manager of a team. It’s supposed to discuss a subject but also be lighthearted. I will get to hear the subject of the article soon and let you know if the steps work out for me and if there are more things to cover while creating an illustration.

Hi Pauline

I’m glad it was a help. Let me know if you have further questions that the post does not answer, as I am planning a follow up. I know it does not cover everything.

Thanks for your feedback, it all helps!

Alison

At the moment the sportclub asks me to do a drawing (for the first time) for an article, your blogpost enters my inbox. I will follow the steps, makes me feel a lot more at ease… Thank you.
