FINALLY a new post! "Grandpa colour study."


At long long last a new post. Everyday the blog has languished I've felt guilty not updating. If you've been checking from time to time, many thanks for your patience...and I'm back.

I haven't been away really but am busy working away on a 32 page children's story book idea. I have finished the text (till the next rewrite at least!) and have a basic structure for what will be single page or double page spreads. I have also pretty much sketched out the basic look for the characters and some environments (will try to post some sketch book pages in the next few days). Next comes more planning, this time sketching for the settings and secondary elements / action. After that I'll make a tighter plan for the page layouts then...eventually...the final art and book design. So not too much to do then!

This is the first idea for a children's story book that I've actually seen through this far (many rough sketches and notes for other stories...) and I'm really enjoying the work. I've been studying the children's book sections of my local bookshops, leafing through my collection of children's books and reading some 'how to' books on the subject of children's book illustration and writing. I can heartily recommend "Words and Pictures" by the amazing Quentin Blake, "The art of Eric Carle", "Picture This, how pictures work" by Molly Bang, and so far, "Writing with Pictures" by Uri Shulevitz is very interesting (though some of the colour seperation / preparation for print is outdated).

To cut the waffle, here's the first rough colour study for one of my main characters, just finished tonight. He is the Grandpa of my other main character, a small boy called Magnus. They both live in a lighthouse, on a small rocky island and along the way a Puffin called Piggy makes an appearance. I'll go into more depth later! Hope you like Grandpa.

I have been faithfully visiting your blog pretty much everyday. I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your book.

Grandpa looks good. I quite enjoy his coat and peg leg.

Me to, it's great to see some more work. Cheers for posting it, I know you're busy. I like Grandpa's red nose, I'm looking forward to reading the story, to find out why he looks worried.

cool ol' sea dog. The colours are great, the way you painted the skin tones really suits. i would think about making the blue suit a little darker for richness, but it depends on the background behind him.

I think you could make him a little older if he is the grandad. You could think about doing the classic wooden leg where the pants end at the knee, but maybe thats a bit piratey.

I think you should try this guy out with a few expressions, get more of his personality across

thanks for the comment on my blog by the way :)
