I make a lot of art maquettes to help me with my illustrations. Here is one that I made for my spider book, along with an explanation of how I built it. Also I apologize for not pluralizing “chelicera.” Should have been “chelicerae.” Oops! . . . #arttok #booktok #maquette #illustration #spider #jumpingspider #nonfictionbooks #booksforkids #picturebook #illustrationprocess #artprocess created by Jessica Lanan with Jessica Lanan’s original sound

I mentioned keeping the watercolor “bead” in the red panda video, and this is what I mean! The bead is the exta water pooling at the bottom of your wash that enables you to keep on mixing. Lots of water + squirrel mop brush on the left, less water + synthetic on the right. Same paper and paint in both! (And sorry my hands are so dirty, I’ve been painting all day. Book deadline!!) . . . #arttips #artistsoftiktok #arttipsandtricks #howtopaint #watercolorpainting #watercolortutorial #paintingtutorial created by Jessica Lanan with Rivaldo Wohon’s Snap (Remix)

Six weeks to publication day. The countdown begins! I am so excited to share the case cover of JUMPER. It was deemed “to scary” to be the actual jacket. This is your friendly reminder to always peek under the dust jacket to see if we illustrators hid anything there for you. 😉 I don’t have enough followers yet to add a preorder link but if you get a copy from @twjbookshop I will sign and personalize it for you!! . . . . #picturebook #parentsoftiktok #childrensbook #scienceforkids #nonfictionbooks #booktok #authorillustrator #phidippusregius #jumpingspider created by Jessica Lanan with Kohrogi’s Simple, light and bright song

Replying to @jessannnello Here’s my attempt at a red panda! I’ve never seen one of these beautiful endangered fuzzballs in real life, have you? Apparently they are more closely related to skunks and raccoons than giant pandas (according to my Wikipedia reading.) Thanks for the suggestion and let me know what you want to see next 😊 . . . . . #watercolorpainting #artdemo #artistsoftiktok #arttok #animalart #natureillustration #watercolortutorial #watercolortechnique #picturebookillustration created by Jessica Lanan with Purple Sound’s About 30 minutes for background music such as ambient funerals
