I Love You All year Round celebration! day 2
**continuation of the process of illustrating this book**
After having the characters down, it was time to think and sketch all the spreads. I usually doodle really small and make lots of thumbnails. So I did until I worked a storyboard. This book, as the title suggests, deals with all the seasons of the year so it was a wonderful opportunity to have lovely spreads with different colors and moods for every season.
I really had so much fun thinking what the characters could be doing on each spread. In this case the text is very suggestive, so for the illustrations, I had to find a balance between what the text said but also add a little bit of my own visual story. This is a pop up book, but at that point I wasn't worrying about that, I wanted to first lay down the overall sense of the story and the look of the whole book.
... to be continued tomorrow
