I am so excited to show you guys some of the illustrations for my book! These are my six girls that represent each body shape. Let's see if you can guess which ones are which! I think they are so adorable and their little props are CUTE! My illustrator sent these to me just last week so I am thrilled to finally have my own images of shapes to use and refer back to.
Let me know what you think of the illustrations in the comments below. Which one is your favourite and why? (Also, apologies if you are experiencing deja-vu while reading this blog post...yes I did post it earlier but had to delete it and place a watermark on the illustrations due to possible copyright issues!)
Stay Stylish!
xoxo
Anna
P.S. If you haven't figured it out yet, the body shapes are in the following order: boyish, full-figure, athletic, hourglass, pear, apple. Did you guess correctly? ;)

omggggggggggggggggggggggg I LOVES ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!
I think these images are cute - although they remind me something from a childrens book not an adult style book. I guess I expected something alittle classier.
My book is not an adult style book, it's actually a style and body image book for teens...
I like these. They havevariance.
They are so so cute! xo
starting from the top
slim
fuller figure
athletic
hour glass
pear
and apple, right arent i!
Not the best illustrations for a style book, in my opinion. Based on those images, I wouldn't buy the book.
Maybe real women/teens would have been better??? But then again, I don't know anything about publishing a book, hehe.
Sorry Anna, I am not a fan of these illustrations. They are too cartoony, I think women and even teenagers (if that is your target market) want to look at something upscale looking and stylish if they are reading a book pertaining to fashion.
If your target audience are 5 year olds then these illustrations would be perfect, but if your aiming for older then I would re think these images, just my opinion :)
I wrote the comment above ^ and I just wanted to point out that I wasn't trying to be rude or come off as harsh or anything but you asked for opinions, and I think it's really important to get feedback and then you are able to alter anything that doesn't work, as the main aim is to get your book to sell right? :)
I think they are cute images but not for teens nowadays. They remind me of my old english reader in primary school and that is not something I think teens would like.
I showed the images to my sister and 2 friends aged 12 to 14 and they laughed at them :(
Maybe you should survey teeenagers and get their feedback.
Love your youtube vids & tips xx
I don't about the taste of others, but I just love them so much.
Keep on the good work Anna
Love Ilmy
not for a style book for teens , they look too childish. i'm not trying to sound mean , you asked for opinions.
I don't care wat other people wrote about them, I love them!! They are SO cute!
I think these illustrations are cute, Anna!
But why does the top left girl look so upset??? LOL! All the rest of them are smiling and happy except her :)
I dont want to offend you or the illustrator but if you want feedback, heres my two cents;I have to say,I'm not a fan of these illustrations, they just seem really dated or like those strange illustrations in school books.I think teenagers and young women want to see something a little more glamourised or stylised.I am 19,I know the book is probably aimed at younger teens but I would definitly be a bit put off by these images.
As a 17 year old, I would not buy this book based on this illustration. However, I love you as a youtube "guru". So, if I knew you wrote it, that's probably the only reason I would purchase it :/
I think some of the adults responding to this are a little "out of touch" with teens these days! I'm a school teacher, grade 9, most of my girls are between the ages of 14-16 and they would absolutely love the images you've created. One would be surprised to see how "child like" imagery gains the attention of adolescents better that almost any other tactic! Seriously...students do extra work just to earn stickers! Go with the images! They'll be a major success! Good luck with your publication!
LOL The one on the top left looks JUST LIKE ChanelBlueSatin on YouTube!! Except for the fact that I've never seen Cynthia have that kind of expression on her face. You two are my favorite people on Youtube!!
I think the images are great. There is a kitschy flavor to them.
It's blatantly cute and it works.
These are very good...simple, cute and easy to understand for teens!!! Hope your book goes well! If you planned on reaching an older audience I would suggest taking a look at the illustrations in Nina Garcia's 100.
Awesome pics! They are cute and stylish and they work! Cant wait for the book. :-) x
I love them :)))
Not crazy about these illustrations, Im 17 and I have a 14 year old sister who I just showed these to and she laughed.
With all the negative feedback , maybe you should reconsider using that illustrator. I think they're fine, if a little amateur.As much as people tell you that they dont, people really do judge a book by its cover and its appearance,especially a visual book on style.Also you say this book is aimed at teens,but the majority of young teenagers bodies will not have these kind of shapes yet.Maybe you need to review some details.I love your vlogs,blog and dog dont give up!x
I love you anna but I do have to agree that those illustrations will not attract me whatsoever! You might reconsider them if you want!
I still adore you and will buy the book!!!
xoxox
They remind me of the toddlers tv show "whats the story in balamory"! I would try for something a bit more "stylish" looking. They are a bit too childish but in the right direction..
cynthia peck?! ok she may be cheap.. but shes amateur. invest some more thought and money.
I really freakin love you Anna but these illustrations are godawful :/ sorry.
