Carlianne | Cute Illustration & Tips

✨Cover Reveal!✨ I just realized I’m allowed to share the cover for my debut author/illustrated picture book!!! It’s been so surreal I haven’t been able to sleep in three days from excitement, and it’s not even out until October If you would like to preorder you can do so anywhere books are sold (links in my bio) or comment “preorder” and I’ll DM you a link 💛 — Having a yeti as a best friend is, well, the best! There’s always laughter and adventure, and you’re guaranteed to have the best seat in the house. Except . . . for one big problem. Every year, Yeti gets a cold. And when he does, he turns into a total grump. So this year, his girl is going to be ready. She’s armed with tissues and blankets and cocoa. But finding a cure is a lot harder than it sounds. And sometimes all you need is a friend. Utterly endearing, Even Yetis Get Colds introduces a talented new voice, and is a perfect cozy pick through sniffles and giggles and for any curling-up day. —- HUGE thanks to my amazing agent @jemiscoe at @andreabrownlit and @pixelandinkbks for making this come to life 🥹 #scbwi #picturebook #kidlit #kidlitart #coverreveal

Ya'll I'm SO excited to share that my book won an award! I have been honored with a Best Indie Book Award in the non fiction category! I'm just so grateful and proud to receive this kind of recognition! My kids are really REALLY excited I got a trophy 🤣. Plus how cool is it that I can say I'm an award winning author now! 😆 I wrote this book because of all the interest and support on Instagram and was able to fund it through kickstarter. So I hope that all of you can share in this joy as you really did help make this happen 💛 My book is now available in my shop as well as an Amazon if you'd like to get one 💛 An extra big thanks to @connecteddotsmedia @girlfridayproductions @debbiebernedesign and @bestindiebookaward #howtodraw #arttips

Sometimes.. I just want to sketch. There’s something so freeing about not trying to make it perfect or fix it up. It just ✨is✨ My feed was all Snow White yesterday and it’s been forever since I drew some Disney Princesses Maybe I’ll do more on this or just move on to a different Princess

Who would you be if no one else’s opinion mattered? Honestly I’m not even sure if I know, because part of why I create is to impact another person’s life in a positive way. But, not caring if someone thinks it is good or bad is absolutely freeing. #artstyle #stickershop

I only name my layers when I do corporate jobs, otherwise ain’t nobody got time for that. But also I can never find the layer I need 🤣

What are some things you consider to be a part of your style? I’ve been thinking about this for awhile… I still value critiques and feedback from others, but at the end of the day if I’m not happy with what I’m making then what’s the point of making it? And if I can know for myself if I like something then I don’t have to get upset when others don’t like it as much as I do.
