This is another double spread page I have been working on for my Childrens books. I had begun using the same textures over and over so I scanned and found others to use for this illustration. I think the contrast of the block orange against the graph paper works extremely well and feels refreshing compared to the other textures I have used. The spread represents the girls long walk from when she first lands in the Pumpkin world until she eventually discovers the palace. I aimed for it to be comical and querky and I believe it fulfills this.
Here is my latest double page spread for the children’s book I am working on. I wanted this to be a lot simpler than the others as they contain a variety of details and textures. At the advice of my lecturers I drew the girl big (A3) then scanned it in so it would look less like I was drawing a tiny girl with a huge pen! Very pleased with this simple page of her falling :D

I love the use of colours in this illustration and the composition is fantastic too. The colours all merge together so harmoniously that you can hardly tell where the flamingos end and the trees begin. I would love to be able to create works using such limited colours like this illustrator has.

This is an absolutely stunning illustration. I love the emotion on the scene pictured and the style the image has been drawn and coloured in. Digital colouring is not a strong point of mine, but I always apreciate seeing well designed characters. I want to be able to create emotion such as this in my storybooks and I hope to see more stunning illustrations such as this on my Tumblr thread.
