Gratitude List and Thanks Giving
Here is where I share my gratitude list all about the things I’m thankful for in regards to my exciting children’s picture book creation adventure.
Dishonesty as a Baby: A Baby Picture
Dishonesty is the name of the antagonist in my new children’s picture book, "The Two True Karate Kids." She is depicted as a yellow and green spider monster that changes sizes. Not seen in the book, here’s a picture of Dishonesty as a Baby.
Karate Picture Book in the World
Two months ago, I went to read my first karate picture book to a kindergarten class. In uniform, I introduced myself and told them the reason I was there. “I made this book so that kids who don’t train at my dojo, maybe who don’t do martial arts and who live in other parts of the world can learn some of the most important lessons of karate.”
Dishonesty Spider Art Evolution
Needing a somewhat ominous and serious-looking dishonesty spider for the antagonist in my children's picture book, I researched spider photos. After some advice from one of my art critiquers, I came up with a second round of concept art shared here.
