Here are some illustrations i have been working on for a (still very much theoretical) children's book which i've been asked to illustrate. It really was a challenge to design from a story instead of making up the story as you design. I had a lot of struggle deciding on a form, a way of working. I tried linocut, i tried cutting stamps out of erasers, i tried drawing and aquarel-paint, but in the end it was drawing that won. I drew all the lines and then, quite like screenprinting, filled all shapes with textures. I'm not equally happy about all of them, i like the one with the red barn the most i think. The one with the fallen tree misses a bit of red but i can't think of anything red to fit in... Ideas?
