This is a test image for a kids book I’m trying to complete for Teagan’s 4th birthday in May. I was trying out illustration on photo backgrounds, which is something that Mo Willem’s uses in his Knuffle Bunny books and that I thought looked pretty good. I was happy with how the above looks, but think that I’m going to stick to full illustration.
Initially, I didn’t want to talk about the book too much, because I have a habit of exhausting things through discussing them, rather than actually working on them. However, I’m hoping that by mentioning it, I will keep myself accountable to the online record/promise.
The story is loosely structured out and I’m in the process of fleshing things out further and hope to have a story draft done sometime in December.
This is too scary!
