Rough sketches for the final pages of my children's picture book
/76/365
With only 28 days until my self-imposed deadline for publishing my first children’s picture book, I decided to rough out the remaining images in pencil. Knowing the end is near is a good feeling. The next step will be to ink these sketches as quickly and efficiently as possible. Line ‘em up and mow ‘em down, so to speak.
When I see how simplified my drawings have become, compared to the rendered and colored drawings I drew at the beginning of the project, I’m concerned that my style as of today, Sunday March 3, 2019 is very different from my style in December, 2018 when I started this project. My optimistic takeaway is that I’m learning and improving as I work. The unintended side effect of improving is that my older drawings need to be redrawn to match my current style.
These six sketches are placeholders. After I ink these roughs they will serve as very fuzzy guidelines to aid me as I’m inking like crazy, on a wing and a prayer.
