Could I really illustrate my manuscripts?

I created a dummy manuscript for my first ever picture book, All Aboard, The Jolly Bear 🐻 in 2020. Since then, I have completed my Diploma with the London College of Art. I did this to develop my confidence in my ability so that I could illustrate more of my stories. However, I still wasn’t convinced.

Recently, I attended a workshop with David Litchfield at Winchester and he really inspired me to continue to pursue writing and illustrating.
