Illustrator, kids books, googly eyes. I'm too much woman for Instagram. Rep’d by Adriana Domínguez at ACM Kids & Illustration https://gingerngo.com https://gingerngo.substack.com/
Working for the last 2 months with Inkygoodness on this fun story idea. I learned so much about my own strengths and limitations. Most importantly, that I am on my own journey. It doesn't have to look like anyone else's. Thankful for all the mentors and guests for their time! #kidlitart
I went against common advice and put (slightly diluted) India ink inside a water brush. It's been really amazing, but I know I have to be careful not to clog it. What are your thoughts on ink in water brush pens? #sketchbook #indiaink #brushpen
I've been feeling a bit disconnected with my sketchbook lately. But I'm pushing on until I feel the magic again! #sketchbook
Aaaarghhhh! Testing out materials with absolutely the wrong paper. Experimentation and lesson in bleeding profusely. ;_; #sketchbook #kidlitart
Some super fun character studies for The Children Illustrator's Playbook with InkyGoodness! inkygoodness.com This is MICHAEL and he is the goodest boy ever. #inkykidsplaybook #kidlitart
When I was a kid back in Manila, there would always be street vendors pushing carts of hot peanuts in between the car lanes. My mom would always wave her arms out the window to flag them down whenever we were stuck in traffic. Which was all the time! 😂 #kidlitart
Weekend explorations. Memories of street vendors in Manila selling snacks and juice in the middle of busy highways. Gouache underlay with digital brushes for detail. #sketchbook #process #kidlitart
It's been a busy few weeks. But I'm having a blast experimenting with textures and techniques! Although now I still have to clean up the mess... #sketchbook #kidlitart
Testing out materials and papers. Anyone recognize the first two school uniforms? 😂 I remember we all had to wear these giant nametags around our necks. They were covered in clear plastic, but the top corners always cut my arms because they were so sharp! #kidlitart #sketchbook #childhoodmemories
It's cherry blossom season here where I live. This little girl with a long ponytail kept jumping up to reach the flowers hanging high up in the branches. She finally got one when her Mama told her that they had to go. #sketchbook #walktosee #kidlitart

I wish I had this kid's enthusiasm for Mondays. Unfortunately, I'm more on the Garfield the cat's side of things. #kidlitart #sketchbook
"We tried to catch it, but instead it caught us!" Acrylic ink and gouache on paper. #illustration #kidlit #kidlitart #philippinemythology #sarimanok
Today, I revisited a digital drawing from 2024 with traditional media. It's a lot of hard work with very unsure outcomes, but I'm so glad I am putting in the time. 😅 #kidlitart #sketchbook #illustration
