... with really rough thumbnail sketches.*

These are for a new book. I love the unlimited possibilities at this stage.

(*Actually, it really all begins in my head. Kind of awkward to photograph, though.)

Pencil, tracing paper, and kneaded eraser: priceless for revising and tweaking.  Photoshop, too. But sometimes the old-fashioned way is easiest.

I should be able to show some of the sketches from this project, soon!

This is what's on the board.
This is what my drawings look like when they're just about all figured out, just before I go to the final version to color. This will get a few tweaks, but mostly, its 'there'. Its a patchwork of cut-out individual drawings all taped together, with a sheet of tracing paper over them with a few extra bits drawn on. In other words, a sloppy mess! Even though I could do this in Photoshop, I still like to do it the old-fashioned way. What can I say.
I've decided to take out the tree in the background top right - think it detracts from the characters down front. It will be all 'field'.

Oh, forgot to say - Happy FALL!! When this drawing is colored, it will make sense ...

Inquisitive and brave, sweet and tart, Smoky was a girl who craved adventure.
