Hey all,
As usual, I suck on doing updates. I know. I know. i need to do better. But there is some good news for y'all.
I'm working on a new children's book!
As of this moment, I'm taking a short break before diving back into doing line art for my illustrations for the newest addition to my young children's books lineup, The Things Dragons do, which I hope will be more than ready for an early Fall release. Dates yet to be determined.
I've already gotten the manuscript finished, with a "dummy book" created to split it into pages, with rough sketches for what each page will look like. Now I'm on to the line art while deciding what color medium I want to use on this puppy. There are several to choose from, but I want it to look the most awesome possible.
Short history behind why this book: my hubby gave me the idea after he had a dream that I'd already written it and was reading it at local elementary schools. Apparently they liked it so much it inspired several listeners, so I figured, why not? Thus began the epic journey of trying to decide what all I should include in my idea of what dragons do.
As part of this journey, I researched dragons from various cultures, and will try to convey those cultures through depictions of their dragon types, fingers crossed. There were a lot of good ones, but I wanted to keep this upbeat, kid friendly, and fun, so I had to limit what i represented, and how I'm presenting the various types of dragons.
The journey will continue for a while, until I"m happy with the end result, which might take a while, since I"m still maybe a third of the way in, but, fingers crossed, it will be awesome!
Now, back to work before the current system of storm fronts demands i turn off my computer so it doesn't get fried.
Toodles for now!
