Today…

Morning: I went hunting for ephemera at a used bookstore and, instead, ended up with this little Maurice Sendak box set of Grimm Tales.

Afternoon: Working.

Evening: The clouds were beautiful – and perfect reference for one of the illustrations I’m working on.

This post is part of a series documenting my process of illustrating the picture book Dream Boats (author Dan Bar-el, pub. Simply Read Books). The entire series of posts is archived here.

View a slideshow of all the work-in-progress images including first sketches, reference material, mistakes, redraws, and tests, to final art at a much larger size, here.
