Hello everyone! I hope this post finds you all well! Last week was quite a busy with few completed books before my short refereshing Mumbai trip. Here's a glance at some of my illustrations from two book completed recently for Anna Digilio. It was a simple book project and I worked with different styles altogether. A fresh start on a new picture book . My favorite thing about my job as a children’s book designer and illustrator is, starting to illustrate a new picture book. It’s the fresh beginning of a 2-3 month relationship with new characters that I get to bring to visual life with my pencil/tablet. It’s the excitement and the joy of transforming an author’s manuscript into a colorful picture book. Today is my first day starting to illustrate a new picture book for an author I have not worked with before. I will read the story several times to get a feel for the mood of the book and to get to know the characters. Once I form clear visual images of the characters in my mind, I can start to put my ideas on paper. I share these early sketches with the author to see if I have captured the personality of their characters. So doing character illustrations today.... a really very interesting character...will share soon on my next post.Stay tuned! :-) Thanks for stopping by!!! Have a lovely day ahead!
