For the people (especially my Mom) who have said, "I'd like to see how you do that!" I created this video to show my own peculiar process of illustrating a book. The illustrations in this particular book, Song of the Crickets, were inspired by the Bluegrass lessons my daughters and I are taking. I drew each of the crickets with an instrument.

I use a Mac loaded with PhotoShop Elements and ILife which includes Pages. My camera is a FinePix S1500.

This is the 10th book I've illustrated for several different authors. They are all available on Amazon.com or through this link:

Search Amazon by my name, Phyllis Stewart

  • @tomtheman68vlogs1 i've got a bamboo pen and touch. i draw in my spare time too and believe me, drawing tablets are the best! they are easy to use and not hugely expensive. I recommend wacom bamboo.

  • THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!! I'm an aspiring author & illustrator and have been wondering for ages how you illustrate and get it into the book. just one question, what photoshop do you use??

  • This is wonderful! Thank you so much for kindly sharing what you do. :-)

  • Why is it whenever I see a how to video with a drawing tablet, that people use photo -shop with it? I don't mean to sound rude or anything I don't even own a drawing tablet.......yet, but what I am asking is, is photo - shop the only program you can use with it? Only I'd like to add, I really like your drawings. I think you are very creative & imaginative, I tend to draw in my spare time which is why I am looking into drawing tablets & I'm just trying to better understand them before buying one.

  • i see you have a white guitar too, nice

  • This was a great video thank you..
