This series is an introduction to making a children’s book. My goal is to show how you can create your first book using only a pen, paper and your mobile phone.

I used this method to make my own book that I was able to add to the Amazon book store.

This is third video in the series. Scanning and coloring the artwork using my phone.

Just a reminder… this isn’t just for people who know how to draw or use Photoshop. This is about learning how to make a book. I think everyone should be able to do this and express themselves. Learn by doing and having fun!

I hope this gives you the push you need to get started and make your own books to share with the world.
