Today I'd like to welcome Illustrator Teresa Guido. Thanks so much for taking the time to talk with us today and share some of your work.
Teresa, what made you want
to be an illustrator?
I have always had a
passion for drawing and constancy in carrying out this dream. Surely my family
has played an essential role in terms of pushing towards this goal, but every
day I try to improve myself more as an artist.
I can tell you work hard, your illustrations are beautiful. How long does it
typically take for you to complete one color illustration of a book?
This depends by the
complexity of the illustration.
Sometimes
can happen that i can finish an illustration in one week or in one month!
Wow, that's a long time. I think authors sometimes can forget how much work it takes to do a quality illustration. What tips would you
give a new illustrator starting out?
It is very difficult
to give life advice. But if I can express my opinion on the profession as illustrator, surely a quality that helps
is the strong determination and constancy of the dream. I have never been given
any useful advice but I have always crawled, followed, and explored the artists
who inspired me by following their footprints.
What warnings could
you give an author looking for a new illustrator?
That an illustrator
must be interested in the project that the writer proposes, follow the author
in his choices to be professional and create a good reputation.
When an author
contracts with you, do they own exclusive rights to the images, or does that have
to be purchased separately?
Usually i can hold rights on the illustration, but i cannot sell the
illustration that i have created for an author, maybe i can use that for my
personal portfolio.
That's good to know. Do Illustrators
offer revisions of their work?
Yes, i usually start with a pencil sketch and i show it to the author if he
or she is satisfied i go on.
Teresa, any last words?
I hope to create my own style, recognizable, and to make happy authors that
wants to bring life their ideas!
Thanks so much for sharing with us today Teresa. Happy Reading!!
