So I have a Children's Book...

This last semester, as a few of you know, I took a class about the creation and publication of a children's book. Now, we weren't asked to finish it, but I figured I would.




Children's books are generally around 32 pages, mine is a smaller version (12 pages), since I just wanted it as a finished product and possibly to show it off to publishers. I am pretty happy that I finished it, and my instructor mentioned that I was ready to start creating children's books (pretty exciting huh?)!

Anyway, the exciting part is that I digitally put it together myself, and it is ready to buy! I bought one and fixed any of the problems that I saw and I was really surprised with the quality! :)

Digital watercolor practice, I want to see if I can get good/ comfortable enough to do this for full illustrations.

Looking on in Arrogance


 
  "The old bullfrog was king of the entire empire. He sat upon a toadstool throne commanding his subjects, several toads and a few lizards. One lizard lord approached with a scroll, which he began to read, as the king looked on in arrogance."

A very busy week, as always, I would have done more, but for the time we had, I am pretty pleased.

EDIT: I fixed what my teacher had critiqued. He also said that this could go into my portfolio, I'm so happy! In my 4 years at college, that has never been said to me before! I might clean it up some more, but yay!

Eric Carle style Collage Owl



This was reated for my Children's book class. We had to create a collage like Eric Carle (the creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar) does for his books. It was fun! I'm going to do something more fantasy and brightly colored on the next one.

Used: tracing paper, colored pencil, markers, acrylic paint, scissors, and glue.

Cute Little Spring Birds


A good night post, feeling a bit sad, I drew something that would cheer me up! I've been looking at children's books to get ready for my upcoming class, I couldn't help it!
