Ever since I’ve started pitching kidlit books, I’ve had a pretty strict “no potty humor” rule for myself.

When I create a character that I love, I have a hard time giving them flaws. It feels like I’m doing a disservice to them. But flawed characters are vital to great stories. How your character responds to their flaws is what will create an emotional connection with the reader.

Stephen King is one of my top five favorite authors. Maybe top three. I know that’s a pretty basic preference, but there it is. Dude can spin a good yarn.

Your style is an amalgamation of all your favorite artists. There is no shame in redrawing (or even TRACING) your fave artists so you can get a better feel for how they put lines together. These practices will payoff in dividends when you create your own art from scratch.

A blank page can be super overwhelming. But, I’m telling you, once you start throwing some ink down the momentum will build. It’s OK if those first few lines are apprehensive. They’ll steadily—and QUICKLY—become more confident. Next thing you know, you’re off to the races!

Sketches are supposed to be loose and messy. Somewhere along the way, the internet decided sketches are akin to beautiful, finished pieces of art, but I’m here to tell you NO. They are not.
