The Road less Taken... or the Crossroads

I have come to a conclusion about the book dummy I an currently creating. A new style popped up while I was doing some character sketches and color studies. What does this mean? It means I am going to redo the entire batch of sketches I have done so far and redo the one or two finishes that I was planning on including. The style is looser and easier, but for me to create this same style page after page is going to be a bit of a challenge.


But it will still be fun! And as long as it is, I will enjoy this journey.

Patience and Perseverence

Having sent out my dummy and facing the long wait for any answer...any kind of answer, I have started work on the OTHER story I was working on before this last story crowded its way into my brain.

The sketches for this one are taking a new turn... slightly more of an edge to these. I am not an 'edgy' illustrator, so to you my edge may seem a bit more rounded *:)

This is a study for one of the spreads in the book. I'll spend some time defining the characters and then strive to keep them consistent throughout the book. Occasionally I'll do a thumbnail color study to use as a reference later. Sometimes I toss these out in favor of another color combo.
