Picture book in progress: Without Me

With a new picture book in progress, I’ve been working my way through the illustration sketches in my studio. This is my studio desk with some of the working sketches for my new book, Without Me?

There is a great deal of drawing on this book, loads of elements and several characters involved (a family with animals), keeping me alert, although very tired now after another 9 hour day illustrating.

I love drawing but can almost taste the painting phase! As the drawing develop, I become keener to see the colour finished illustration. I am getting closer to finishing the on the drawing stage and getting very excited as I see the cute imagery unfold.

I have 19 illustrations ready for colour so far (once approved by the publisher) – yay!

      Thanks Lauren. I have 3 work stations. One I create my artwork in, 1 for office, writing and digital work and 1 for processing paperwork, packing and sending. The division enable me to focus better and not be distracted by the call of other work in different areas.
