Here’s last week’s assignment for Children’s Book Illustration I. It was pretty fun.
It had to be very short, so I chose the Aesop’s Fable The Fox and the Crow. I added color to a few of the storyboards to suggest colors.
p.s. Here’s Jay Jay, a rescue bird where I work in Snohomish. Handsome bird.
Really nice!
Very interesting to see your process. Do you work digitally or traditionally or combine the two? The drawing style for the animals looks like a vector drawing and complements the more sketch like qualities and water colour wash look of the background. Overall very evocative and a beautiful way to illustrate the fable.
Thanks, dagger and brush. For this assignment, I mainly worked digitally. I use an Apple Pencil on an iPad Pro and the program Procreate. This is the closest to work traditionally with a pencil that I’ve found. The Procreate people have recently made improvements to the app so that it’s also similar to drawing and painting in Photoshop.
Thank you for the reply. I’ll check that app out, sounds very promising.
