Storyboarding and Cuteness

The two mystery mice have tagged along for this book.

I did it again. I was tidying up today’s post and accidentally deleted it. So now I’m going to shorten it and recreate the post in three terse paragraphs, which I should have done in the first place.

I’m implementing cuteness by shortening necks, enlarging eyes, making mouths and noses smaller, and arms legs shorter. Enough said.

This image is an example of my rough storyboarding. In the background there’s a more realistic sketch of a baby donkey, a foal. That sketch is just a note to myself. Baby donkeys are darling souls. I want to capture that feeling when I draw Bettina.
