This isn’t really too concerning to me, because I’m sure the content of my book will far outweigh the illustrations – but I just remembered, I’m really bad at drawing.
Behold, one of my illustrations below:

Now, you may be wondering what I am using to illustrate my children’s book. No? You weren’t wondering that? Well, I will tell you any way. I’m usingĀ MS Paint and nothing else. That’s right, my entire book will be illustrated through MS Paint. I know the image above looks terrible and you wouldn’t pay for something that looked like that, but I hope to improve my skills by the time the book is ready to publish. You may even be thinking that your child can illustrate better than me. I’m hurt by those thoughts, but hey, if they’re willing to work for free…
Also, my grade 5 teacher once bumped me from a C+ to a B- in Art class because she said she could feel the effort I put into the picture. That being said, I believe my illustration is worth at least a B-. I really put a lot of effort into it.
And you know what? I believe the effort that I am putting into this book will tie directly to its theme. I am going to try harder to get better.
It’s only a matter of time before I reach a B+.
