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 are 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.
Kallie showed me that second illustration on the ALA poster — amazing! Can’t wait to see the entire book, and I hope you have a great trip!
Thanks Tanya!
