I'm really happy to finally be able to post something further on the bathroom lion book. No doubt a few tweaks to come here and there but this is the cover. Just 2 more illustrations for the inside of the book and I'm done! I've also posted an in progress lion doodle and my exploration of lion's paw bath legs... Although the showering lion was always going to be in silhouette I felt the need to know who I was dealing with behind the curtain. I think I read somewhere that Arthur Rackham always used to draw the rough details on his silhouette illustrations before inking in... I'd say it's essential in order to get a silhouette that really looks like it's owner. The multicoloured version of the hand lettered title is just a bit of whimsy to see what it would look like using the palette of the cover. More soon!

I think there's a Surrey Illustrator's meeting next week Wednesday, in Guildford. I've not managed to make it yet, but I'm definitely going this time, and I'm sure you'd be very welcome, if you're about? As far as I know, it's mainly kids book illustrators. Would be great to see you. Lemme know if you're interested and I'll email you the details, as soon as I get em!
