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.

Beautiful! I really like the effect of the white around the starfish – good STARRY qualities! A question: what size is the paper you use for the full spreads?
Thanks, Pamela.
The full illustrations are 24″ x 9.5″ + bleed and the paper is 30″ x 11″.
