Here's my 'creature' for the PBAA flip book app. I hope her measurements match the required sizes.

It's that time again... time for a sneak peek of my almost finished new ebook app. I had a f-appulous time making it.  The materials used in creating this app are:

* InteractiveTouchBooks software - a fabulous program
* Pencil & paper - images drawn on paper and then scanned.
* Scanner - Wacom
* Photoshop - to color in the drawings and to add the type. The text is rasterized and treated like an image.
* USB microphone - (for recording voices) $29 - even an inexpensive microphone can work very well.
* GarageBand - for changing the voices into different characters and for making and exporting sound clips - easy to learn.
* music and sound effect sources - copyright free

Well, it just so happens I have illustrated a Dinosaur Book for Red Robin Books, Don't Invite Dinosaurs to Dinner, written by Neil Griffiths. It came out in Jan 2012.

I was excited when I heard that November's theme is "Dinosaurs" because I'm in the midst of drawing exactly that. Actually the book is about dinosaur tracks and the science of studying the tracks. The tracks provide clues to the movement, behavior, what they ate, lots of information about dinosaurs come from their footprints. Hopefully I'll be posting more dinos as the month goes along.

Happy November everybody!
