How do you make picture books? If you are asking I want to learn how to draw or paint, or you want an easy guide to making picture books, you’re in the right place.
Perhaps you want to learn how to use watercolor properly, or want step by step artist tutorials, or you’ve been asking yourself ‘how should I use colored pencils?’. I can help.
I also cover how does art help mental health, helping yourself through art and recovering from anxiety with art. ‘Can I recover from anxiety with art?’ Yes! How does art help mental health? It's all about focussing on now, and art and mark-making is such a good way to do this.
Also if you are saying to yourself - 'I want to self publish my book' or 'How do I make my first kids book?' or 'PLEASE! can someone show me how to draw!' then I'm on hand to help.
Subscribe, ding the bell and let’s get together.

the illustration was gorgeous but how do you get it from your original painting into a book? how do you digitize it please?
Thank you . Your videos are so helpful.
Jules! I learn something new every time. Thank you so much!!
Great looking gator
About copyright issues - can I use painting from older artists - such as Van Gogh in a children’s book? Also, do most children’s authors provide their own illustrations or does the publisher act as matchmaker for author and illustrator?
Copyright- you have to be very careful even with old paintings. Check if they are ‘in the public domain’. And publishers would usually use an illustrator they’ve used before and would not expect you to provide one.
So lovely 🥰
Thank you! 😊
Hello! I am Jack I am 18 I always wanted to make books thanks for the help
You're so welcome!
thanks for the tip, great studio. Although you could add some background music to your videos that way you catch my attention differently I won't forget easily.
Thanks for the tip! I mostly do use background music, but sometimes leave it out for those who prefer no music. Thanks for watching and glad you like the studio. All best :)
Thank you so much, Jules! This was great advice!
Glad it was helpful 🙂
Hello Jules. You may told others this before but, what editing equipment do you use to speed up your video?
Hi Sherrie, I just use iMovie, you can speed up or slow down.
Thank you@@JulesMarriner
I’m writing a picture book about my cat, with the plot based off a inside joke about him in my family. I don’t plan to publish it, but this is helpful.
I'm so very proud of you and impressed with your wood working skills. You've filled the space in nicely. And now... back to the art. We'll in actuality, it's all been the art of creating. How clever you are!
Thank you very much! That's so nice Sherrie x
I love tea time.
Thanks Ma'am. I just wrote my daughters story book. She is a great storyteller.
Thank you :)
I would like to talk with some old people to learn from their experiences, I'm young and I'm looking to do business online
Nice ❤ love it
Your studio looks good 👍
💪🤜👌- Dave
Hi Dave!! :)
You look much happier in your new studio. Very informative video, loved it so back to looking at the blurb on the back cover of my next book. Xx
Thanks so much!
I am revising my children's book for republishing under my pen name (your suggestion). I did not do a blurb the first time, as I didn't think it was necessary. It seems like you put up a video just when I need it. I'll save it to watch later, so I can watch it again and again. I'll work on a blurb once I start the revision. Scary. BTW, last year you reassured me that my stick figure artwork would be just fine, I thank you again for the encouragement. Yesterday, a lady (water color artist) visited my air museum (I'm a volunteer) and I asked her to look at my books, and let me know if she could improve my artwork. She said my images were precious, recommending I leave them alone. She added that my images would be cute as dolls, which she wouldn't hesitate to buy.
Aw see! You need to have more confidence in your expression of art. So glad you are still working on the book :)
Will have to return to hear this.
Thank you for the tips. I’m writing a space adventure series book for 10-12year old. I believe we can write a chapter book for that age group. Question: is a chapter book the same as a mini series or a short story?
No, they are all different. Chapter book is for 7 years (approx) up and depending on topic and style of writing, can be for older audiences. Mini series really means more than one story or book with the character or theme. Short story is usually much shorter, too short for a book. You might put several short stories in a book. Hope that helps.
It's amazing.
Thanks very much for the tour of your new studio! Wishing it will be a lovely peaceful creative place for you - it look fab. Also sending hugs and kindest wishes for you and all your family xxx
Hello Jules from David Knittle. So great to see your new studio video that you spoke of, and that it's come along well!
Hey Dave! waving 👋
This really helped me a lot
Loving it ❤.
I started painting on November 7th last year and now i can't stop.I paint every day and it does everything you say. I'm 74 and red/green colourblind. What a discovery and what therapy! ❤️
There are brackets are angled and screw into the table and legs for more stability and a board across the lower legs will strengthen the wobbly table. Congratulations on the new studio. Wishing you great luck.
I 💕 love your illustration. Beautiful Jules.❤
I love her accent, it reminds me a lot of a character from Hilda
Good luck Jules in your new studio, may you create some good pictures 😁
Love your new space! The view is definitely lovely. 🩵
Ever since a very child, I’ve found calm and joy in creating an alternate world through drawing. Still well after a half a century later, I have yet to gain the confidence to break through the self-imposed barriers to write the stories.
I hope you just do it 4 fun!
10 out of 10 for tackling all that stuff yourself 👍
This is such a nice space. So impressed how unfazed you were at turning a blank space into an inviting studio that is calling out for being creative within it. Can't wait to see what emerges.😊
I think I saw a Buffalo Bill lunchbox in the filming 😂
You did! 😆
Thanks for the tour, you did well. Is it far from your home?
Not too far :)
Lovely ! I would love to have a room just for my crafts ❤lucky girl 😊enjoy ❤🎉
Thank you! 😊
That was lovely! Thanks for you sharing, my friend!
Thank you too Mia.
Nice work Jules! I
Thanks!
Mouse traps with peanut butter or chocolate and maybe a Slim Jim. They do love all three
He has thankfully moved out. I think he was using my studio as his local cafe. 😆
I love how its coming together. Who knew you were a handyman too 😉. And it looks like it's in a lovely place to talk a little walk when you want inspiration. ❤
I love it there 🤓
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you! 😊
Hello Dear. Thank you for taking the time to make these cracking informative videos. I've submitted a children's story to a Publisher but they replied that they want it in a manuscript. I write in screenplay format. What does a manuscript look like? Even Google isn't helping...? Please help?! Hope you have a smashing weekend, weather permitting...
Hi Mark, it means they just want the written text. If it’s a picture books, I would write it in chunks and indicate the page numbers, if it is a longer book, indicate the chapters. You should also send a one page synopsis, outlining the basic story in a few paragraphs. Hope that helps?
@@JulesMarriner Thank you so much! Have a great day!
I started eating spelt flour and sprouted bread. I also started soaking and germinating my grains and legumes, so they do not bother my digestive system and cause no bloating. I have had IBS and gluten intolerance all my life. I finally understand that the problem is not with the gluten itself, but with how it is prepared. Thank you for your video.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you ❤
I love watching you color. It gives me a different perspective when I’m looking at the artwork in picture books. You started to say something about the pigments in the colored pencils, I think, but you were cut off. Is there more to this video, so I can learn about what you were going to say?
Hi Robin, there is a full video attached in the info. Unfortunately I only had 60 seconds and it wasn’t quite long enough.
@@JulesMarriner I couldn’t find the link, but I found the video. Thank you!
You go squirrel! 🐿
