You simply can’t trust that a piece you create will always show up on your portfolio or instagram feed, where it can be closely linked with your contact details. If you’re lucky, and your piece is popular, it’ll wind up on pinterest, tumblr, twitter, etc, and rest assured, you can’t trust anyone, not even billionaire philanthropists, to assign proper credit.

Prompt Party! December 2018 assignment
Prompt Party! December 2018 assignment

As many of you know, I run the Prompt Party account over on instagram. It’s a year old as of last month! It started out as weekly prompts, but a week isn’t always enough time to do portfolio-ready work, especially if you’re busy. It was always my intention to create something that you can jump in and out of from week to week, but after running a poll in my instagram stories, it seems that what’s best for people is fewer, more thoughtful assignments.

The 2018 Global Talent Search
The 2018 Global Talent Search

If you’re reading this, you probably know that I was one of the winners of the Lilla Rogers Studio 2018 Global Talent Search. My life has been an absolute whirlwind since then, but I thought I’d share my thoughts on the competition—what it was like to compete, and what it takes to win—while it’s still reasonably fresh in my mind.

Here's my piece for the latest @makeartthatsells kid's book assignment. As y'all know, I usually do scenes with full backgrounds, but I wanted to challenge myself to embrace the negative space and do something more character-driven. True to form, I already see something I want to tweak, but it came out pretty close to my initial vision, which is kinda rare for me! . . . . . #illo #illust #illustrationgram #illustratorsoninstagram #illustratorsofinstagram #illustrationartists #illustracion #illustrazione #dessin #childrensbookillustration #bookillustration #kidlitart #picturebook #picturebookillustration #best_of_illustrations #illustrationart #illustrationartist #procreate #procreateart #lillarogers #lillarogersstudio #matsicb #ipadartist #matsb #matskidbook #matskidsbook
If you've known/followed me for a few years, you know I love graphic novels. They're a ton of work, but I'd love to do one someday. In the meantime, here's a mini comic I did for @makeartthatsells Bootcamp. I couldn't decide what to write about, so I wrote about indecision itself. 😆 . . . . . #graphicnovel #comicart #comicbookart #graphicnovelart #illo #illustrated #illustrationartists #illustracion #illustrazione #illustratorsofinstagram #illustragram #illustrate #illust #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #childrensbookillustration #mats #matsbootcamp #matsbootcamp2019 #lillarogers #lillarogersstudio
Here's a sneak peek at something I've been working on.

Working on a ton of stuff I can't share at the moment. So in the meantime, have this antlered beast. I don't know much about him, but he lives in the same universe as our crow friend. Y'all were so good at coming up with names for professor crow...what would you name this guy? . . . . . #illo #illustratorsoninstagram #illustratorsofinstagram #illustrationartists #childrensillustration #childrensbookillustration #childrensbooks #childrensbook #childrenbook #bookillustration #kidlit #kidlitart #kidsart #kidart #kidsillustration #kidsbooks #kidsbook #picturebook #best_of_illustrations #whimsy #whimsical #gouache #gouachepainting #illustrator #illustration #illustrationart #illustrationartist #procreateart #lillarogers #ipadartist
⭐️COVER REVEAL!⭐️ 🐆🦔🦝🦒 . You guys! Here's the cover of my very first picture book! It's a wonderful book written by @katelhosford, filled with fun poems and really cool facts all about the sleeping habits of different animals. I learned so much illustrating it! It would make an excellent bed-time book! 😴 Also I just found out that it's available for pre-order (link in bio)! AND it will be out by Christmas! *happy dance* . Many thanks to Kate, as well as Frances @fjspc for her awesome art direction and the team over at @runningpressbooks for being so nice to work with! . . . . . #coverreveal #bookcover #bookcoverdesign #bookbirthday #illo #illustrated #illustagram #lillarogers #lillarogersstudio #childrensbookillustration #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #picturebook #childrensbooks #kidlit #illustratorsofinstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #illustracion #editorialillustration #illustrazione #illustrationartist #dessin
Here's our friend the crow professor in his natural habitat, aka his cabin in the woods. Still trying to figure out what to call the woman and whether or not she's his wife or sister, but she'll have a story of her own. Also she's a snappy dresser, not that you'd know it from this picture. It is laundry day after all. . . . #illo #illustratorsoninstagram #illustratorsofinstagram #illustrationartists #childrensillustration #childrensbookillustration #childrensbooks #childrensbook #childrenbook #bookillustration #kidlit #kidlitart #kidsart #kidart #kidsillustration #kidsbooks #kidsbook #picturebook #best_of_illustrations #whimsy #whimsical #gouache #gouachepainting #illustrator #illustration #illustrationart #illustrationartist #procreateart #lillarogers #ipadartist
Have any of you seen Rilakkuma and Kaoru on Netflix? It's possibly the cutest show I've ever seen and I'm already ready to binge watch it again. I don't do a lot of fan art, but I was so smitten with them I couldn't help myself. 👉 Swipe to see my process, which includes several reference images from the show, if you're curious. . . . . . #illo #illustratorsoninstagram #illustratorsofinstagram #illustrationartists #childrensillustration #childrensbookillustration #childrensbooks #childrensbook #bookillustration #kidlit #kidlitart #kidsart #kidart #kidsillustration #kidsbooks #picturebookart #whimsy #whimsical #illustrator #illustration #illustrationart #illustrationartist #procreateart #lillarogers #ipadart #teddybears #rilakkuma #rilakkumaandkaoru #korilakkuma #kiiroitori
Here's a drawing of #monschau in Germany, which @devonholzwarth was kind enough to take me to. It's so pretty there. I love all the half-timbered houses. It's something I've really been wanting to see, because of course we don't have them here in the States, except for the occasional knock-off. . Incidentally, have you all been following #bonvoyageweek? I haven't had the time to participate, but it's got me wishing I was traveling again. So much awesome art. Serious shout-out to the creators: @asmaoriginal @asiaorlando_, @bronterose, @iz.ptica and @moonchildillustrations. . . . . #illo #illustrated #illustagram #travelsketch #germanvillage #lillarogers #bonvoyageweek2019 #childrensbookillustration #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #picturebook #childrensbooks #kidlit #halftimbered #illustratorsofinstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #illustracion #editorialillustration #illustrazione #illustrationartist #illustrationoftheday #best_of_illustrations
Here are some portraits commissioned by @littleskeinanne for one of her super awesome knitting kits! These portraits are part of a pattern that will be used for the kit bag. The knitting pattern is being custom designed by @maralicoleknits. It's going to be awesome! . . . . #louisamayalcott #mayaangelou #ruthbaderginsburg #juliaalvarez #lucymaudmontgomery #portraitart #portraitartist #illo #illustrated #illustragram #gouache #procreate #lillarogers #heroine #pureheroine #womenauthors #womenshistory #womenwriters #womenwhodraw #amazingwomen
