Portfolio planning

I am hard at work preparing to present my best illustrations for the southern breezer conference on the 12th of October. They have been wonderful about communication. It is a very well organized chapter of SCBWI. Today, I finished this piece below.  I took pictures of my process. I actually do this for me. It allows me to see how it will look as a flat page and how it reads to an observer.

I start with my first layers of color.

more color and shading applied

the final piece. I love the colors. It resembles a lot of the greenery I walk through daily. The yellow flowers were inspired from some the grow close to our home!

 More to come as the day draw near. I post often on facebook.     https://www.facebook.com/AspiringChildrensBookAuthorCassaundraDunbridge
