Hello.

I am Mariya Prytula, and I create magical watercolor illustrations.

 

Peak behind the scenes

What do you do after all of your #thumbnails are done? Go out and get reference. A ton of reference. Way more reference than you'll ever need. A very unique thing about #littlemossandbigtree is that the book not only shows the relationships in the forest, but also shows a change of seasons! Does Texas have seasons? 🤣😂😉 Hahaha not really. That poses a challenge for the #illustrator. But I was lucky to get an opportunity to travel to some snowy and forested places while working on this book.

#littlemossbigtree humble starts When I first read through the manuscript, my first task is to lay out the images and see how the story flows visually. Sometimes it's not possible to tell the tale in 40 pages, and other times I just need to get creative. Here is the first look at that. #picturebook #scbwi #childrensillustration #kidlitart #wip #sketch #illustration #watercolor #thumbnail #photo #forest #storyboarding #picturebookart #squirrel #bigtree #atxart #storytelling #childrensbooks #childrensbookillustration #childrenswritersguild #illustrator #childrensillustrator #forest #wildlifeart
#littlemossandbigtree is almost finished. And we're so excited to ask for your help in picking the cover! Which one of these thumbs do you prefer? Until the Kickstarter launch date on May 24th, I'll be revisiting the progress shots and revealing new info about the book, FB event (with prizes), KS rewards and etc. To not miss the project launch, make sure to sign up for a newsletter on my website! #bookcover #thumbnail #storytelling #picturebook #scbwi #storytelling #kidlitart #goldenageofillustration #childrensillustration #sketch #kickstarter #whimsyillos #forest #stormkingmountain #traditionalillustration #woodland #squirrel #moss #woodlandcreatures #childrensbookillustrator #illustrator #watercolorartist #watercolorart #picturebookart #squirrel
