Received my crits from @brianlarossa.com following his webinar. Promised myself I wouldn't look at them till I finished my quota of Christmas men. So excited to see his comments. Had crits on manuscripts & crits on Illustrations, but not pro feedback on full dummy. Worth it. Bk 2 #kidlit

Losing sight of the path you've been following? Search for an alternate approach. Searching for opportunity to work creatively in kid's books. #KidLitArtPostcard day came quickly so whipped this up this morning. Being creative in other avenues while waiting for a door to open. #kidlit #illustrator

Working on dummies. PB dummies & well, figures looking richer than crash dummies. Holiday figures I sell. I summarize the process in my blog. theresaanackerwohlers.com This dummy cover sketch was a NO, and the figures have a way to go. Creating something special this holiday? #kidlit #illustrator

Walking with grandkids, fun. But walking by myself in the early morning, truly inspiring. As the sun crested the horizon today, I recalled recent talks with others about difficulties in family dynamics, a PB idea spilled out like the orange and yellows across the sky. Wanted to run home. #kidlit

Yes we do. Sometimes it's too fluffy for a proper snowman. Then it gets a little warm, so we bolster them up. Then more fluffy snow, more melting. One year the cycle went on so long we just heaped the snow, stuck a couple sticks in and swore the snowmen had given up on winter too. #kidlit

WIP Actually have several WIP's restructuring. Deciding whether additions to this PB cover idea for a dummy should be done with digital design or continued with Traditional media additions/linework, lettering. Would a combo look good, or out of place. #kidlit #artshare #illustrator

#scbwiArtober2025 Busiest season 4 me, so combo: Murph coiled his FUZZY nightcap & put a CANDLE in his NIGHT LIGHT to investigate. Was a PHANTOM SQUASH the garden marauder? Shimmering but for his rotted BIRTHMARK . EYES stared. Murph was scared he might be the next thing to CARVE.

#kidlit #artcommissions Would be cool to work on a Mythology based series. Been sketching ideas from a book on the worlds variety. Assuming a sidestepping around the adultery and incest parts. Not sure what punchy means, but absolutely intrigued. Sketches. Kidlike characters?

Didn't know it was a thing. But my adult daughter with Down Syndrome absolutely needs to learn something about Kerning too. Her list of DVDs she wants to get. Sometimes it's hard to decipher what she's written. 😊

Working on a CB dummy it's challenging thinking about using speech bubbles & crossover of conversation. Perhaps it's not my concern, but feel I must give it some consideration. Still, enjoying the process, however difficult.

Second opportunity to play with Inktense pencils. Using a lighter touch and reference materials. So much fun. Will use this sketch for a post on my website as a likeness sample, and write about my test of pencils in my blog. #kidlit #kidlitart #illustrator #scbwiillustrator

Love when I'm introduced to new mediums. Possibilities with Inktense pencils, but definitely not on simple sketching paper.
Need more play with using it in its brightest mode, but has lovely quality with a light touch. #kidlitart #kidlit #illustrator
