From the Drawings Unit
I've been on a freelance job since March that wraps up this week. I'm grateful for the work, but as I was looking for art to post in this newsletter I just realized how little I've drawn outside of the job for the past 4 months. These sketches are from April, and my sketchbook has one drawing in it from May and one from June!
The only other drawing I've been doing has been some character designs for a book proposal I'm hoping to go out with in July. More details on that below👇.
This should change in the coming weeks as I plan on launching a kickstarter for a sequel to my SPACESHIPS book. More details on that coming soon!
PATREON: I'm doing a series of posts on getting a book deal. This isn't a case study of a book deal I've landed in the past. This is a week by week, play by play of me currently trying to land a deal with one of the major New York publishers.
I'm sharing my strategies, my email interactions, notes I'm getting from my agent, missteps, and rejections. Patrons are seeing concept art, the gnarly stuff that's discarded, but also the polished stuff I'm sharing with publishers. We are in part 7 this week of a multi-part series that will end when the book get's published!
