Illustrations!
I have been diligently working on illustrations for my
short story compilation. Because I'm excited by them, I will begin
sharing them here. These will be placed in the interior of the book, so
once the book is published they will only be in greyscale. I did make
many of them in color, so I will post them here in color. By the way,
my 9-year-old editorial adviser hated the book's original title, The
Snowball Files. So, I have changed it to Crazy Adventures: Preteen
Stories and Fantasies. Since this is a book for readers his age, I
didn't want to just brush him aside. So, here is a prototype of the new
front cover:
Here's something from Suzie and the Little Man:
One from The Snowball that Ate Recess:
This is the beginning scene to Those Youngling Varmints; I will probably pick the second since the staircase is more complete. But, I wanted to show off Bella. That's the best dog I've ever drawn:
Here's right near the beginning of Crazy Slumber Parties:
Now, I've said in the past I can't draw. Well, I don't draw well enough for a large scale picture book, but for illustrations in a book with mainly text narration, I think it's doable. Friday, and I will post even if it's late at night, I will show off more.
Be good to yourselves.
