I Illustrated My First Children's Book! [The Heartbreaking Story Behind It]

Описание: After months of hard work, I finally finished illustrating my very first children’s book — and this one means everything to me. 💖 This story was written by my late mom, whose poetry filled our childhood with laughter, joy, and heart. She passed away before she could see her dream come to life, so I’ve taken it upon myself to honor her legacy by bringing her stories to the world — starting with this book.

In this video, I’m sharing the entire journey — from grieving to healing through art, to illustrating whimsical, vibrant pages filled with love. You’ll see my digital illustration process, hear the background of this very special project, and get a peek behind the scenes of finishing my first picture book as a new children’s book illustrator.

Whether you’re an aspiring illustrator, a fellow artist, or someone who loves heartfelt art vlogs, I hope this video resonates with you. 💫
