Hello,

want to know how I prepare my portfolio for Bologna Children's book fair? In this video, I will share with you my thoughts on my portfolio, see me working on some new pieces for the fair, and get a little glimpse into my week as an illustrator. I clearly feel most comfortable in the picture book market so I can't describe to you how excited and how nervous I'm getting as the fair draws closer. I will also go to Paris for a business conference and networking event for young professionals and ... I will give a talk about following your passion despite fear. Aaaah.

There are a lot of things that still need to be prepared for my promotional material (postcards, portfolio, etc.) but I hope to get the most time-sensitive things done before tomorrow Monday.

I really hope you enjoyed the video, and if you did please give it a thumbs up. It really helps the video to be found by other wonderful people like you.

Stay joyful,
Romica

Hello,

in this video, I'm sharing my thoughts on drawing every day and how the idea of not being able to keep up with drawing daily has really made me feel guilty of not being "a real creative person". However, over time I have realised that it is okay to take creative breaks and how I can get myself back into drawing e.g. through creating small creative habits that I do not share with anyone in the beginning - just drawing for myself. Now, that I feel ready to "be back" creatively, I'm opening up my sketchbook from that period to show how I have started drawing again.

Can you relate? If yes, how do you get yourself drawing again? If not, what are your tips and tricks you could share with fellow creative people?
