For some time now I have been in the midst of writing and illustrating a small children's story. I have progressed much further than this pic shows, I am only sharing the very early birth process here..... They are absorbing illustrations and I love the challenge!
Illustrate, then mask, then wash, then paint, then decorate... lots of concentration required! I am happy with how she has turned out so far and only have two more pages yet to go.
The story is very simple verse and the illustrations fun and colourful. I am posting this to give myself a shove in the direction of finishing what I have started. Onward to the finish line....!
I think your colors and style of working would suit a children's story quite well. this is looking good!
ReplyDeleteLove your fishie ! What a lovely bit of art it will be ! Keep on going, Talented One !
ReplyDeleteLooks so cute. Can't wait to see the rest and hear the story. I'll have to get it for my new grand baby, Allie Bel.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for you Patti--it is so beautiful! Yes, keep on going, Patti! xoO
ReplyDeleteI have recently purchased the published books of two different blogging friends. Will your book be number three? I hope so! I agree with Suki that your gorgeous artwork would suit the children's lit genre perfectly. Can't wait for your next update on this!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I can't wait to see the end result. Way to go Patti!!!!
