New Project!!! Children’s book illustrations.
Right before Christmas a gentleman contacted me looking for an illustrator for a children’s book he had written and asked if I’d like to submit a sample for his consideration. Of course I would! What an amazing challenge!!
The challenge of commission work is trying to match what the client has in their head but can’t explain. All he could say was he wanted vibrant colors and a “kind of” realistic style since the characters in the story were his young daughters.
The author gave me several pages of text from which I choose one to illustrate and submit to him. Step one: The pencil sketch idea.
