Headless tiger... Or am I crazy? (Lovely though)

Studying to be? How about GOING to be! Excellent work.
sipos0
That is amazing work. I can see why you are proud!
sipos0
Finding paid work as an artist is probably hard but, she deserves it more than pretty much anyone. Good luck to her!
Wakborder517
That's amazing
loinclothwarrior
I like her style
thatblueidguy
Awesome!
swagbornslayer
Better pay attention. The last time nobody did the world got hitler.
bufferkiller
She is phenomenal.
propelledfeline
Make sure she never gives up. I truly hope she does well.
ILikeYouMary
What a nice comment! & I hope she does well, too!
sharthappens
She did a good job +1

⚠ This artistic work is art

How old?

FrozenFoodGuy
I love this! Is there any more @OP? I’d love to make an exposure post with her artwork!
DisneyAmoo
Lookd great!
bacononbacon
I still don't know how to picture the age range of imgurians yet and I've been coming here fire years.
Wakborder517
It varies. Everything from honry 14 year olds to.... hmm... well, it just goes up from there.
bacononbacon
Dammit. For*
straylight
You better invest in fridge magnets.
stewizbad
I have always wanted to be an illustrator but never had the talent. She definitely has the skills and vision!
HiroHeiwajima
Talent isn't real. Wanna know how they got there?Dedication, having fun, and learning new things every day. How to draw better, as far as1/2
HiroHeiwajima
into play because you want to! Because what your doing for fun, you'll want it better and nicer. As an artist, I hope this advice helps you
HiroHeiwajima
better and better. And the best part is looking bad at the things you had fun doodling, and looking at yourself then how you've improved! /5
HiroHeiwajima
I'm sorry, as an artist I want to encourage people interested, just have fun with it! Even if you think it looks bad you'll only get /4
HiroHeiwajima
2/3 anatomy, perspective, color etc.That may sound like a chore,but honestly, if you're having fun and enjoying it, these things will come
hellabosque
I am an aspiring children's lit author and need me an artist who knows her way around dinosaurs. We need to talk!

Just remember to fairly compensate your artist(s) for their hard work and labor. =)

wellthisjustgotinteresting
Tell your daughter that she makes me jealous.
hateyouall
agreed
Pinkishu
not envious?
wellthisjustgotinteresting
Jealvious?
colonelraleigh
A fine distinction, my friend.
hateyouall
these are great, you should attach a link so we can buy her stuff
sowetoninja
Why? This is why imgur is becoming such a crappy site. Why can't we just appreciate good art/images WITHOUT marketing?
hateyouall
I asked for the link. it wasn't offered. I am genuinely interested and wanted more info. next time i'll pm to save your sensibility's
redwinepuddinpop
But if I want to buy her stuff.. Why can't I buy her stuff..?
sowetoninja
I never said you SHOULDN'T buy her stuff, just not use imgur as a primary source for marketing/ads, just my opinion,
Ilikebuttporndontjudge
What's wrong with that?
sowetoninja
You'll see people resubmit their stuff over&over, to get more sales;you see people making up BS stories to get sympathy-to get more sales...
sowetoninja
B/c imgur is becoming more of a place to marketing/advertise stuff than share good quality OC...it makes the U experience worse in many ways
HufflepuffAndPass
You are aware that marketing is how freelance or student/newly graduated artists get work right? Marketing and social media.
sowetoninja
Yes but there's a place for that stuff... At the very least you can tag your stuff as ads, & not try this deceitful approach.
CaptainCunnilingus
The OP was just sharing his daughters awesome work man. A viewer decided "HEY I LIKE THIS I WANT TO SUPPORT THIS ARTIST." so shut yer shit
sowetoninja
I get that, but in most cases it's not really the 'dad' or 'supporting friend' or'SO' or whatever, it's made up BS to attract votes...
ironwolf6896
Lol +1 for "shut yer shit"
olddog
A little more of her work, here is a painting that she did on an old airplane part for my garage. /a/fx8MG
KapnKershaw
She does beautiful work!
LloydMadel
Good guy @OP didn't even publish this one for upvotes
abeardedblacksmith
Dude, your garage decor is freaking awesome.
NinjaRope
That, good sir, is an amazing looking garage you have there. Daughters work is a great addition. Congrats
FlyingBananaHammock7
I want to know where you got such a nice 3 blade Hartzell propeller intact!! How much did that run you?
olddog
If you like the prop, you may also like the table that I made for the garage... http://imgur.com/d5Sv7CF
FlyingBananaHammock7
That's awesome
olddog
I found the prop on eBay, it had been used by a tech school and had been torn apart a hundred times. I got it for $299 and repainted it.
magicad
If you make her a website I'll go on it and I'll even click on the adverts.
iDontThinkThisUsernameIsTaken
Bless your good heart sir
LuciditY
She has a deviant art! http://jennyrex.deviantart.com/
Ihmhi
Don't if you're not actually into the ads. That's click fraud & they can lose their ad account.
Xsiah
Yeah, I frequently get follow up questions on whether or not I was REALLY interested in the ads I click, just to make sure.
theesweez
Ad dude here. Best thing we can do is give her an eff ton of traffic and hang on the site for a bit. Makes it seem super desireable to ad on
PyroDragon
Same. Especially if they are for porn or to make my penis bigger.
spinningelbow
Woah easy there fella..
DrewTheStampede
Or local girls in my area that are interested in me.
TheTwoRaptorsYouDidntEvenKnowWereThere
Or local penises that are interested in porn
olddog
Thank you so much. She is studying to be a children’s book illustrator.

That did happen. It happened a lot! If you went to the store for milk and bread, you picked up a ream of copy paper and a box of pencils.
IWasToldThereWasCake
Amazing. You should be a proud poppa
tofudisan
I think she can stop studying now. Seems to me she's got it down already.
MXKNR
Well, I dont think she needs to study anymore... great work! Love the one with the dino! Give my +1 to her
rmwdrums
I'm studying children's book illustration too! Her stuff looks great
LmaoKeeg
Make sure you mention me if you become famous
Blazefast
She can stop studying, she won @ life on this topic.
internetheroxD
She's incredible!
yoshimasta
She'll be a good one!
keyqueen
....my new-found career goal?
TheSadCafe
She's amazing! Every part of those pictures is interesting, and that's what makes a great children's book illustrator!
kugel1978
Well she's doing a great job! Tell her to keep up the good work!
Warranty
Studying? I think she's pretty much done. Her style is already perfect.
Temptedweeds
What is her name?
TheBaconSurfingCanuck
Shit I think she's ready. Enough studying, it's time for her to go big.
Sokonomi
Your daughter is gonna be alright. shell be going places with illustrations looking like that.
Carnot
You should add a link to her work so people that like it can see more of it :) http://jennyrex.deviantart.com/
ilukaperi
More please!
catlady3000
I would buy all the children's books she illustrates.
TheLimpinBiscuit
What program or drawing supplies did she use to make these?
olddog
I don’t know the actual programs but I can tell you that she sketches in pencil and then scans the sketch. >
olddog
I also know that she uses a Wacom Bamboo tablet and her laptop to add the layers of color.
iamprobablyhigh
She's winning
JBecktheProducer
Before sharing her artwork I would ask her to put a watermark on it.
0bjectsmayappear
Studying, she's there! Dang that's excellent!
eviscera
Holy shit, her work is fucking amazing.
justabremelo
I have a good idea for a kid's book. I'm willing to pitch it to her, and if she sees potential in it, we could make it and split 50/50.
Jagadid
Studying? This lil' nigga's already pretty damn qualified.
kdel378
I really like the Zoo picture!
chaquitabananana
Love the dinosaur one especially!!
TimAllensThong
how... how do you study to be a children's book illustrator? I've been wanting to do this for a while. :)
AnonsAndMinions
Well I'd say she has a damn good chance! If I was a publisher I'd hire her (if that's how it works =P)
FiatLuxIam
She can stop studying, these are wonderful!
letterV
I think she can stop studying. She's already there.
142StanfordBinetAddTBIget98StanfordBinet
She won't need to study much longer. :)
Kobol
She's got a real gift for capturing the lightness and magic of a moment, really impressed!
MidTwenties
She could do editorial artwork too for extra cash between books.
nblaine01
Wow, that's fantastic! She'll make a great illustrator!
NorthRex
Amazing talent!
mehnincompoop
THAT IS SO COOL
AsterBTT
She will be perfect for it.
niet3sche
Her style is bang-on for this.
imgurandchill
i sense success in her future...also would like just a picture book of her photos for my son.
Usernamenotvalidinall50statesvoidwhereprohibited
As the Father of a 25 yr old artist, I see talent and potential. I wish her well OP.
xXSlyKitsuneXx
Tell me if she ever publish, i work in a kindergarten
HighrockTendales
Tell her to stop studying, it appears she already is one.
FisticuffMcFightsalot
I genuinely hope she gets the career she wants! As a guy working to start a career in comics, I always appreciate fellow artists!
HiroHeiwajima
Ayyy fellow aspiring comic artist!
shaggysmomhasgotitgoingon
I would love to have her do some work for me! Im writing a childrens book but need artwork.
ilikewhenitssunny

Id love to have sex, so I could have offspring to read this book to!

Magster2004
I'm working on my second book if she wants future job.
ilikewhenitssunny
If you ever need an artist... Hey :)
madrarua23
She's awesome
Xaldyn
Literally my first reaction to seeing this was to leave a comment that she'd make a great children's book illustrator.
Xaldyn
Guess it goes to show just how good at it she is.
ringox
Same here
hypelife
Commenting so I can come back to this when I have kids and can commission something from her
ematic
Wait.... there's literally a degree of study for that? I'm an artist. I thought children's books were just something you "fell into"?
RocketBryan
You can certainly get a degree in illustration...but an actual paying job doing it is tough. Roughly half of all the female artists I - 1/2
mattygeez
I have an accredited MFA in Illustration. My Master's Thesis was Children's Books. You can def get a degree.
RocketBryan
2/2 knew at my art school wanted to be children's book illustrators. There's just not enough work to go around to support that much labor =\
ematic
Darn, I'm a guy, so that makes it double hard. "What do you know about being soft and emotional?!" :P "wait, kids don't want skulls? crap"
PyroDragon
I think everyone here thought she was 12.
CerealKiller2142
/I/ thought she was 3. Clearly I was wrong.
SensibleChuckleNorris
She has to be at least 12
Mateoooooo
Well you're not wrong
wheresthebaby
Maybe she is
admiralawesome4213
I'm still not convinced she isnt
Ryebread91
It's a book for kids, by kids!
Northeman
How about 4kidbuykids
DartTarget13
good thing it's not 4kids, bikids... that would be wrong.

Maybe not * Lenny face *

I manage a publishing services business in Michigan. I sometimes hire freelance illustrators for authors in need. 1/2

You hiring illustrators of other kinds of variety? I do regular book illustration.
mrsmuffinman
Any tips for an aspiring children's book author?
Timesplosion
Join a group like SCBWI. Learn from published authors about how to improve your technique. And keep practicing. Also, draw animals.
JarOfOlives
READ! No really, read. Go to the library and sit in on story time. See what gets kids the most excited. Read as many books as you can.
atombongsmoker
Sweet sounds like fun.
JarOfOlives
It's the advice my intern mentor gives me to tell people who are asking Qs via our tumblr page!
kindakinda
Target the _parents_ buying books. Adults decide whether your book is bought.

Write erotic books for children. Trust me I have a PhD
