Right, 2013 WILL be my year, It WILL be the year I get a full time job doing something I love and it WILL be the year that I actually start doing something productive with my illustrations.
Back a few posts ago, I mentioned a children's book a friend of mine, Emma, has written. Like a lot of things at the end of last year, it got put on hold. But now, its time for me to get my bum in gear and actually get this ball rolling!
I showed you some VERY rough sketches I did last year for the main character, Sophie-May. Here are some more rough doodles I've been doing of Sophie-May and some of the other characters.
I actually met up with Emma the other day to show her some ideas I'd had so far. She loved what I'd done for Sophie-May, but wants her to be wearing dungarees and wellies. So that's what I'll do! It is Emma's story after all, so I want it to be exactly as she'd imagined it would be.
.
Again, this was a rough idea for Sophie-May's dad. Em wants the Dad character to be slightly taller, so that's what I'll do. Even though Emma's given me quite a lot of freedom with this book, I want her input for every step of the way.
My next job is to get all of the characters finalised and to get them painted.
