Process

Sketches

First, the author, Stacy, and I sat down and broke the story into pages and spreads. Then, I had fun exploring how to depict the character’s journey and sketched several ideas for each page.

Line Art

Once the concept for each page was decided, I created line art that would be the foundation for the final artwork. I used this phase to work out details in the character design and environment.

Final Illustrations

Rendering the full-color illustrations was the longest part of the process but also the most satisfying as I saw the book come together.
