Here is a sketch that I drew of the stressed mother of the fairy-tale that I chose to illustrate. Let's see if, after I have posted a few more character sketches, anyone is able to guess which tale I'm illustrating.
It's not anything as common as Cinderella or Little Red Riding hood. Instead, I chose to illustrate a story that I had never heard before. This will allow me to work without any "prejudices" formed about what a particular character should look like. I began to read this particular story and fell in love with the pictures that formed in my imagination.
This will be my first ever children's book illustration, even if I am commissioning myself. I do not doubt that this will be a challenge but I really need to be challenged. I have learned that unless there is a little discomfort in my life, a struggle of any size, I cease to grow.
