Things are moving along with the book – I’ve finished inking the final roughs for Nigeria (above) and I’m on to China (below). 9 more roughs to finalise before starting on the final artwork.

I’m back at the book after having to take a few months of to do other work. My last process post was in November but it feels like so much longer than just 4 months – if it wasn’t for this blog record I wouldn’t believe it.
It’s painful getting back into things with half of the time spent trying to figure out where I left off and trying to locate my most up to date drawings in the stacks and rolls of redraws, and the other part trying to train my brain and my hands again. I’ve been dying to get back to this, but am now fighting the urge to redraw every scene again because time off sometimes means a change in vision for me. (Don’t worry Dan, I won’t).
Illustrator master class
CWILL BC is offering a children’s book illustrator master class. As a rule, CWILL BC’s author and illustrator master classes are only open to CWILL BC members. But for this one, they’ve opened up a couple of spots to non-members. (There are literally only a couple of seats left – so move fast if you want to take part!) Full details on the CWILL BC blog.
