It’s actually kind of a nice-looking watercolor. I’d like to congratulate this individual on being a pretty good amateur artist. And, once more, for showing us the very wide gap between being a decent amateur and a professional illustrator.
The leader of my old writing group liked to encourage people interested in children’s books to illustrate their own; she was convinced a few weeks of drawing without the need for any professional lessons would be enough. And, even when she saw the results, she encouraged people to publish. I never did figure out a nice way to say, “If you put that on Amazon and suggest people should pay you money for it, you’re going to be mocked mercilessly, and deservedly so!”
Also available in hard cover.
As if the ebook weren’t hard enough.
