I`m children`s books author and illustrator. This is my story.

Hello, I’m a children’s books author and illustrator with 5+ years of experience and my name is Stacy Hall.

When I was a child, probably, like all children, I loved to draw. But I never thought that I would connect my life with an illustration. Besides, it seemed to me that I was not talented enough. And I thought that I would not be able to become an artist, much fewer a children’s books illustrator. In addition, the adults next to me often said that you can’t earn a living by drawing.

So my education should be serious. That’s why I got a law degree. And only at the age of 27, I realized that I have to do what I really like. I have to do what makes my heart beat faster. And for me I`m children`s books author and illustrator. This is my story.

Hello, I’m a children’s books author and illustrator with 5+ years of experience and my name is Stacy Hall.

When I was a child, probably, like all children, I loved to draw. But I never thought that I would connect my life with an illustration. Besides, it seemed to me that I was not talented enough. And I thought that I would not be able to become an artist, much fewer a children’s books illustrator. In addition, the adults next to me often said that you can’t earn a living by drawing.

So my education should be serious. That’s why I got a law degree. And only at the age of 27, I realized that I have to do what I really like. I have to do what makes my heart beat faster. And for me, this favorite thing was drawing.

So the question arose, what do I want to draw? There was nothing that could stop me. I drew everything I saw and it brought incredible pleasure. But most of all, my soul lay for children’s illustrations. My heart belonged to funny and cute characters.

At the very beginning of my journey, I drew with a simple pencil on ordinary paper, but something was missing for me. So I realized that I want to try new traditional materials. I started to draw with watercolors, gouache and colored pencils, pastel crayons. Until now, illustrations made with traditional materials cause me delight and admiration. Perhaps in the near future, I will work as a children’s books illustrator that will be drawn with traditional materials.

Today I prefer to draw all my projects in digital art programs, and I get great pleasure from it. My main assistants are the tablet Wacom on which I draw in Photoshop. In addition, I often use an iPad and draw in the Procreate.

From illustrator to author
I have often had to work with the texts of children’s books from different authors from different countries. Each story was interesting and unique in its own way, they were different topics. And I became interested in the process of writing a book. How is the idea born, how is the story and its characters born!? I have read a lot on this topic, watched videos of famous authors. And my desktop book in this was the educational book “Writing picture books” from the wonderful and talented author Ann Whitford Paul with a lot of experience. At one point I realized that my knowledge was enough and decided to write my first children’s book. Of course, all the illustrations in this book are also made by me. So I became an author and illustrator of children’s books.

For me it’s more than children’s books
I create characters and stories that will leave a mark on your heart. Each character is like a small child for me, who acquires his own unique character with each page turned over. My characters get into different situations, solve their problems, make decisions and get their experience. Therefore, they will be interesting to you and your children. I will be very glad if my books make you smile. ...more
